Summer is here, friends, and I’m so excited to bring the cooking (and the eating!) back outside.

We regularly grill our dinners around here, and I think it’s time we bring our dessert to the grill as well!

Grilled fruit is a great place to start but today we’re taking things up a notch by adding Tre Stelle Mascarponeto some fresh, local strawberries and grilling them up inside a flour tortilla for the ultimate dessert quesadilla.

This right here is one of the best summer desserts there is.

No heating up the house, no mixers going and mixing bowls and measuring cups spread across the counter. Just a few simple ingredients and a grill, and you’ve got it made.

Around here, strawberry season is short and although we pick as many as we can get our hands on, it has to end eventually. These strawberry cheesecake quesadillas would be great with just about any fruit, so feel free to use what you have on hand!

Blueberries, raspberries, thinly sliced apples, peaches, nectarines – or a combo! Feel free to get a little crazy here and do your own thing. You all know I’m not one for following the rules 😉

How to make Strawberry Cheesecake Quesadillas:

  • Choose your ingredients wisely: start with fresh in season fruit (when possible!) and Tre Stelle Mascarpone to make these the best they can be!
  • If you want to get adventurous, you can add some extra flavour to your mascarpone cheese: grated lemon zest, a teaspoon of cocoa powder, or some smooth peanut butter for a PB&J style quesadilla — or keep it simple!
  • Don’t have a grill or it’s frigid outside? Cook them for a minute or two over high heat in a non-stick frying pan. (Or try them cold — they’re delicious that way as well!)

Tips for prepping these Strawberry Cheesecake Quesadillas ahead:

These Strawberry Cheesecake Quesadillas are great for preparing ahead of time if you’ve got company coming. You can prepare the Mascarpone, slice the strawberries, and even assemble the quesadillas (hold off on the grilling!) up to 3-4 hours in advance! (Any longer and your sliced strawberries start getting a little dry).

Just be sure to wrap in plastic wrap or store in an airtight container until you’re ready to grill.

Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup Tre Stelle Mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar (or use honey or maple syrup)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4 small flour tortillas
  • 8-12 strawberries, sliced

Instructions

  • Preheat grill to medium (about 350 degrees).

  • In a medium bowl, stir together mascarpone cheese, sugar and vanilla extract just until combined.

  • Spread ¼ of marscarpone onto each tortilla and top with ¼ of the sliced strawberries (you want enough to cover the tortilla). Fold in half to close.

FAQs

How to make quesadillas on stove reddit? ›

I preheat it and take one large tortilla and toast it on this pan. I set that tortilla aside and add a new one to the pan. I add cheese and whatever else on top of this tortilla (not too full, the cheese has to stick to both sides) and then add the preheated tortilla on top and cook until warm and melty.

Can you put foil in an air fryer? ›

The great news about air fryers is that you can use foil along with parchment paper to cook your food in an air fryer. Just remember that if it's safe and effective to use in a conventional oven, it will work just fine in an air fryer.

Can you put parchment paper in your air fryer? ›

Parchment paper can handle the heat inside your air fryer - up to 428°F (220°C). To get the best results, add the parchment paper to the air fryer basket at the same time as you add your ingredients. This prevents the paper from lifting up and coming into contact with the heating element while cooking.

Should I butter the pan when making a quesadilla? ›

Unless you're using a non-stick pan, the extra lubrication from the oil will make it easier to flip your quesadilla and remove it from the pan or press when it's done. Most recipes, in fact, call for adding butter or oil to a frying pan and then adding either a tortilla or a pre-assembled quesadilla.

How do you keep quesadillas from sticking to the pan? ›

Coating the Pan with Butter

Just a half teaspoon or so to coat the bottom of the pan ensures a crispy tortilla with golden-brown spots. Of course, if you're using a comal or cast-iron pan, you do not need to use any oil or butter at all.

Do you spray the pan when making quesadillas? ›

Coat a skillet with cooking spray and put it on the stovetop over medium heat. Place two tortillas in the pan. Sprinkle one-eighth of the cheese on half of each tortilla.

What's the best way to warm up quesadillas? ›

Place the quesadilla on a baking sheet or an oven-safe dish. Reheat the quesadilla in the oven for about 5-8 minutes or until the cheese is fully melted and the tortilla is crispy.

What is the best way to reheat a quesadilla? ›

Preheat your oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the quesadilla on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Bake for 10 minutes or until the tortilla is crisp and the cheese is melted throughout. Serve with a side of salsa, sour cream, and/or guacamole for dipping.

Can I warm tortillas in air fryer? ›

You can also use an air fryer to reheat tortillas that have already been cooked. Simply place the tortillas in the air fryer basket and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until they are heated through.

How long to heat a tortilla in the air fryer? ›

Hard shells: Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Arrange the shells in an even layer and heat for two minutes. Soft shells: Preheat the air fryer to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Wrap the tortillas (no more than six at a time) in foil and heat for 3-4 minutes.
