Why haven't we made dessert quesadillas before? Why haven't we made dessert quesadillas before? These chocolate strawberry dessert quesadillas are crispy on the outside, melty on the inside, and ready in under 20 minutes. We load them with Nutella, strawberries, and marshmallows for gooey deliciousness. On the outside we coat them with cinnamon sugar and toast it in a pan until they're crisp and golden. The key to making these? Don't cook them on high heat. Cook on medium for a crisp, caramelized sugar crust, keeping the cinnamon sugar from burning.That’s it! Nothing fancy. Just really good. Save this for Valentine’s, Galentine’s, or the next time you need a fast dessert that feels a little special. Full recipe on the blog! 👉🏼Follow us for more recipes.
You don’t need a complicated dessert. You just nee You don’t need a complicated dessert. You just need the right technique. These dessert quesadillas are crispy on the outside, gooey on the inside, and ready in less than 20 minutes. We tuck Nutella and strawberries into a quesadilla with a few marshmallows, coat the outside with butter and cinnamon sugar, and toast it in a pan until it’s crisp and golden. The key to making these? Cook them on medium-low heat for just a few minutes so the sugar caramelizes. Don’t walk away from the stove or the sugar will burn. That’s it. Nothing fancy. Just really good. Save this for Valentine’s, Galentine’s (which is also Rachel’s birthday), or the next time you need a fast dessert that feels a little special. Full recipe on the blog, as usual!
