Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Flour tortillas
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Strawberries
- 1 cup Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned, drained)
- 1 medium Banana
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional, for garnish)
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the fresh fruit. Hull and slice the strawberries, cut the pineapple into small chunks, and slice the banana into thin rounds. Set the prepared fruit aside.
In a small bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, honey, and vanilla extract until smooth. Adjust sweetness with more honey if desired.
Lay 2 tortillas flat on a working surface. Spread an even layer of the mascarpone mixture over each tortilla, leaving a slight border around the edges.
Top the mascarpone layer with an even mixture of the prepared strawberries, pineapple chunks, and banana slices.
Place the remaining tortillas on top of the fruit-covered tortillas to form quesadillas. Press gently to help them stick together.
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1/2 tablespoon of butter and let it melt, tilting the pan to ensure even coverage.
Carefully place one quesadilla onto the heated skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Using a wide spatula, gently flip and cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with the second quesadilla, adding more butter as needed.
Transfer the cooked quesadillas to a cutting board and let them cool for a minute. Slice each quesadilla into wedges.
If desired, dust the quesadilla wedges lightly with powdered sugar and a pinch of cinnamon for garnish.
Serve warm and enjoy your Grilled Fresh Fruit Quesadillas as a delightful treat!
