Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 flour tortillas
- 1/2 cup raspberries
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter for frying
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 2 flour tortillas, 1/2 cup of fresh raspberries, 1/4 cup of chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and butter for frying.
- In a small bowl, gently mash the raspberries with a fork. You want to break them down slightly while still leaving some whole for texture.
- Add the tablespoon of sugar to the mashed raspberries and mix well. This will enhance the sweetness of the raspberries and create a delicious filling.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a small amount of butter to coat the bottom of the pan. Allow the butter to melt and bubble.
- Place one flour tortilla in the skillet, ensuring it is evenly heated for about 1 minute.
- Once the tortilla is warm, spread half of the raspberry mixture evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips over the raspberry mixture, distributing them evenly.
- Carefully place the second tortilla on top of the filled tortilla, pressing down gently to adhere the layers together.
- Cook the quesadilla for about 2-3 minutes, or until the bottom tortilla is golden brown and crispy.
- Using a spatula, carefully flip the quesadilla over and add a little more butter to the skillet if necessary.
- Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until it is also golden brown and the chocolate has melted.
- Once cooked, remove the quesadilla from the skillet and let it cool for a minute before slicing it into wedges.
- Serve the Sweet Raspberry Chocolate Chip Quesadilla warm, optionally with a sprinkle of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for extra indulgence.
Tips
- Choose ripe, fresh raspberries for the most intense flavor and natural sweetness.
- Use a non-stick skillet or well-seasoned cast-iron pan to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy exterior.
- Keep the heat at medium to avoid burning the tortillas while allowing the chocolate to melt perfectly.
- Don't overfill the quesadilla - leave a small border to prevent ingredients from spilling out.
- For an extra touch of elegance, serve with a light dusting of powdered sugar or a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
- If you prefer a less sweet version, use dark chocolate chips and reduce the added sugar.
- Let the quesadilla rest for a minute after cooking to allow the filling to set and prevent burning your mouth.
