Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichanga
If you are a fan of strawberry cheesecake, you will love our Keto Strawberry Cheesecake Chimichangas! Made using a homemade egg wrap, these Keto dessert chimichangas are free from additives and fillers. The wraps are made from a homemade egg-based batter cooked in a thin layer. The wraps are then stuffed with sweetened cream cheese and diced strawberries. They are fried in a pan with Keto-friendly avocado oil until they are crispy on all sides. After being fried, they are dusted with powdered sweetener and served with additional fresh strawberries.
Do I have to make homemade egg wraps?
We like to use homemade egg wraps because they are free from fillers and non-Keto ingredients. However, there are a few brands out there make egg wraps with a clean ingredients list. Feel free to use those brands that list egg whites and xanthan gum only as ingredients. The premade wraps are smaller but work well for the convenience factor.
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!
Can I use other berries?
Yes! Feel free to substitute the strawberries for blackberries, blueberries, or raspberries. Even a combination of all of them for a mixed berry cheesecake filling! Another option is to use sugar-free berry jams or other Low Carb jams.
To make the ultimate pairing, serve this with other Keto recipes like our Keto Hamburger Pepperoni Mushroom Pepper Olive Crockpot Pizza to make for a delicious main entree and dessert combo!

10.5 oz
Baking Aids Xanthan Gum
0.13 tsp
Cream cheese
4 oz

Powdered Erythritol (Icing Sugar)
1 tbsp
Recipe Steps
steps 7
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. We 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 strawberry cream cheese filling, beat 4 oz softened cream cheese, 3 ½ tbsp of sweetener, and a pinch of salt in a mixing bowl. A hand mixer is easiest, or you can mix it with a spatula. Set this aside.Step 5
Evenly divide the cream cheese mixture between the wraps. Chop the strawberries into a small dice. Evenly divide the diced strawberries on top of the cream cheese filling. Fold in the sides and then roll up the wrap. Set aside on a plate.Step 6
Heat the same skillet over medium heat until hot. Add 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 to low if necessary. Flip and repeat on the other side until golden brown. Place the cooked chimichangas on a plate.Step 7
Sprinkle the crispy chimichangas with powdered erythritol. Allow the chimichangas to cool slightly. Serve immediately after cooling with fresh sliced strawberries on the side.

Yuck. Filling is too sweet, pancakes are basically omelettes. Felt sick after eating 😭

Have not tried this as the recipe is unclear. Does the recipe call for TEN egg whites? Or is it, as I think it is, saying to use "egg whites in a box?" How many actual egg whites would that be, in "units of egg" ? :D It looks interesting but I'm not sure that it is ten-eggs interesting.

That would be 1 1/4 c

It says 10 and a half ounces. So I’d assume that’s liquid egg whites from the carton.
