Let’s Get Started!
It’s A Wrap!
Let me show you how easy it is to turn no bake cheesecake filling into filling for a dessert wrap!
Let’s Get To Mixin’
Pictured above are the ingredients you will need in order to make the Key Lime No Bake Cheesecake filling.
Ingredients:
2 8 oz Softened Cream Cheese (I used the lower fat option)
1 8 oz Cool Whip or similar whipped topping
1 Mad Dash Mix No Bake Key Lime Cheesecake Mix packet
You will also need soft tortillas. I used the snack size ones for this recipe.
The Mixing Process
You can use an electric hand mixer, stand mixer or even mix the ingredients by hand. I normally use my Mom’s vintage Hamilton Beach Stand Mixer.
After the cream cheese has softened, add it to your mixing bowl. Then add the Cheesecake Mix. Blend until the cream cheese is very creamy.
Next you will fold in your Cool Whip or other whipped Topping.
After you have folded in the whipped topping, the cheesecake filling is ready.
Preparing the Wraps
Once the Cool Whip is folded in, you are ready to prepare the wraps.
Place one of the snack sized tortillas on a flat surface. I used a small pizza peel. Spread the Cheesecake filling on the tortilla. Make sure you get as close to the edge as possible.
Roll the tortilla up. If you aren’t serving them immediately, place in a storage container and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Repeat the process until you have 8 wraps. You will have some cheesecake filling left over. This filling can be used as a dip or you could use it to fill a 4 pack of mini graham cracker crusts. You could also make more wraps if you would like. Chill the wraps until you are ready to serve them.
To serve, place the wrap on a plate. Garnish with whipped topping and nonpareils. Enjoy!
No Bake Cheesecake Parfait
The second quick & easy way to serve no bake Cheesecake filling is to make a parfait.
The parfaits are made by layering a graham cracker & pecan crumble with the no bake Cheesecake filling. The parfaits can be decorated with whipped topping, nonpareils and sanding sugar.
