Keto Cinnamon Sugar Cheesecake Chimichanga
This Keto dessert chimichanga is made using an egg white-based wrap filled with a delicious cinnamon cream cheese mixture and fried until golden brown and crispy on the outside. The chimichanga is dusted with a cinnamon and sweetener mixture to make it all sweeter! Our Keto chimichanga is delicious served immediately from the frying pan and would be the perfect ending to a Mexican-style meal. The best part about Keto desserts is that it is another source of protein thanks to the egg wraps as well as a good amount of healthy fats from the avocado oil from the frying process and the cream cheese filling. Be sure to use whole-fat cream cheese for this recipe to get all the benefits! Feel free to serve with fresh berries or homemade whipped cream.
Do I have to make homemade egg wraps?
We like to use homemade egg wraps because they are free from fillers or non-Keto ingredients. However, a few brands out there have a clean ingredients list that makes egg wraps. Feel free to use those brands that list egg whites and xanthan gums as ingredients. The premade wraps are smaller but work well for the convenience factor.
What is the best sweetener to use for this recipe?
We like to use granulated erythritol for this recipe as it blends well and has a nice sweetness without a lingering aftertaste.
Do these freeze well?
While these chimichangas can be frozen, they are best if they are eaten immediately so they can be enjoyed crispy, hot, and melty on the inside!
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this with other Keto Mexican recipes like our Best Mexican Style Slow Cooker Keto Chicken Stew to make for a delicious end to a lovely main meal.

Ingredients
Cream cheese
10 oz
Egg yolk
1 large
Egg whites
10.5 oz
Baking Aids Xanthan Gum
0.13 tsp
Erythritol Granulated
5.5 tbsp
Cinnamon
0.75 tsp
Recipe Steps
steps 8
40 min
Step 1
In a blender-safe cup, blend 6 oz softened cream cheese, egg yolk, egg whites, and xanthan gum. To soften the cream cheese, place it in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before transferring it to the blender cup. Blend with an immersion blender until smooth. You can also do this in a small food processor. Set aside.Step 2
Preheat a medium-sized nonstick skillet over medium heat. Heat until hot. Then add 1 oz of batter to the skillet and spread it around into a thin circle. I like to use the underside of a ladle to do this. Allow it to cook until the top is puffed and there are bubbles on the surface.Step 3
Flip using a metal spatula and cook for a few seconds on the other side until cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining batter. Stack the wraps on top of each other. Doing so will keep them warm and flexible.Step 4
To make the cinnamon cream cheese filling, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese, 3 ½ tbsp of sweetener, and ½ tsp of cinnamon in a mixing bowl. A hand mixer is easiest, or you can mix it with a spatula. Set aside.Step 5
Evenly divide the cream cheese mixture between the wraps. Fold in the sides and then roll up the wrap. Set aside on a plate. Then heat the same skillet over medium heat until hot.Step 6
Add in the avocado oil and heat until shimmering. Add in the chimichangas seam side down. Doing this will “seal” the chimichangas. Cook on the first side for a couple of minutes, turning the heat low if necessary. Flip and repeat on the other side until golden brown. Place the cooked chimichangas on a plate while you prepare the cinnamon-sweetener mixture.Step 7
Combine 2 tbsp of sweetener and ¼ tsp cinnamon to make a cinnamon sugar mixture. Then sprinkle the cinnamon sweetener over the chimichangas.Step 8
Serve immediately! Freeze any leftovers as necessary.
