Dessert Tortilla Wraps

It all started as a viral trend on TikTok, where foodies would add four different fillings to four separate quarters of a fresh flour tortilla. They’d then fold each quarter on top of the next, to form a layered wrap.

The savory flavors soon gave way to sweet, as sweet-toothed gluttons soon realized the decadent potential of such a gloriously simple yet utterly irresistible concept.

Layer upon layer of melted, fruity, chocolatey, gooey, sweet indulgence… sound good? 
 
The original version included chicken and other savory wrap fillings. Now, we’re giving that tortilla hack the dessert treatment with chocolate spread and peanut butter.

Heat the tortilla in a frying pan until golden brown and dig in! The result is layers upon layers of decadent, sweet melty goodness.

I’ve gone for a mouthwatering mix of Amarula coffee cream cheese, raspberries, chocolate spread and mini marshmallows.

I really recommend using Amarula, as it has an incredible taste that makes this recipe unique. If you’re not a fan of coffee, you can use the original Amarula in its place.

It’s not, but you can easily adapt it to be vegan-friendly.

Replace the cream cheese and butter called for in this recipe with almond butter, or your favorite nut butter. You can also use vegan Amarula made using plant based ingredients.

Absolutely! I recommend sliced strawberries, blueberries or banana slices. 

Flour tortillas are the best to use, as they are malleable and can be easily folded without breaking.

I don’t recommend using corn tortillas. They tend to be too brittle and the flavor is a little too bold, especially with sweet ingredients.

If you are using leftover tortillas that have been sitting around for a few days, there’s a chance they will become too fragile. Try heating them up before you add your spreads and other ingredients. This will make them easier to roll.

Try turning the heat down a notch or two. When it comes to melting the ingredients of your TikTok tortilla wraps, slower works better.

Yes, you can! Fire up your toaster oven to a low to medium setting and toast your tortillas for a few minutes until they are gloriously golden brown.

This TikTok tortilla wrap hack really is the best way to wrap a dessert tortilla. Once you’ve got the hang of it, you’ll realize just how easy it is. Then you take a bite and you’re completely sold!

There are only three steps… lay out the tortilla and make one cut, from the center to the outside; add your four luscious ingredients in each of the quarters; then fold each section on top of the next, until you have the perfect layered tortilla wrap!

It’s so easy when you know how! See below for detailed instructions on how to wrap your tortilla and how to make each of the delicious fillings.

These wraps may well be simple, but to get them just right takes a bit of dedication to the details.

Here’s a summary of my key tips on how to end up with a pitch perfect dessert tortilla wrap.

If you do want to experiment and add your own fillings, think about where you are going to place them. Ingredients that you want to become deliciously melty and gooey, like chocolate spread or peanut butter, should go on the outside – quadrant 1 and 4.

The inside layers are best kept for fruit.

If you have a particularly sweet tooth, you can dust the top of your tortilla wrap with powdered sugar. It will tastes extra sweet and look great.

Pair with ice cream for an amazing decadent dessert. Try my hokey pokey ice cream, peanut butter and jelly ice cream, tin roof ice cream or just a plain vanilla.

Don’t cook your tortilla wrap on too high a heat. You want the fillings to melt at the same speed as the tortilla browns.

If you want to use Marshmallow Fluff in place of marshmallow for the final quarter, go ahead! Just don’t add anything else to this quadrant, otherwise it might not stick properly.

These tortilla wraps taste so great fresh off the stove, that you won’t want to keep any leftovers! Plus, the cream cheese will begin to harden, which won’t be particularly pleasant.

Instead of thinking about leftovers, only make as much as you need each time. That way you can enjoy good food at its best.
