Ingredients:
- 4 flour tortillas (8-inch size)
- 1 cup canned or fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips or chunks
- 3 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon butter (for pan)
- 2 tablespoons melted chocolate (for drizzle)
- Optional: whipped cream, cocoa powder, or shaved chocolate for garnish
Instructions:
- In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each tortilla.
- Add a handful of cherries on one side of the tortilla and sprinkle with chocolate chips or chunks.
- Fold the tortilla tightly into a wrap—either rolling it burrito-style or folding the edges in like a pocket.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add butter.
- Place the wraps seam-side down and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 2–3 minutes per side.
- Remove from skillet and drizzle warm melted chocolate over the top.
- Dust with powdered sugar or garnish with whipped cream and serve immediately.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra crunch, you can lightly toast the tortillas before filling them.
- Substitute dark chocolate or white chocolate for a twist in flavor.
- Want a richer filling? Mix a spoonful of Nutella into the cream cheese mixture.
- Fresh cherries work beautifully in summer, but canned or frozen cherries (thawed and drained) work year-round.
Variations
- Banana Chocolate Wraps: Swap cherries for sliced bananas for a tropical twist.
- Strawberry Dream Wraps: Use sliced strawberries and drizzle with white chocolate for a Valentine-inspired dessert.
- Peanut Butter Bliss: Add a layer of peanut butter under the cream cheese for a sweet-salty version.

Notes
Serving Suggestions
Serve these wraps warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. They’re perfect for sharing after dinner, packing for a picnic, or even serving at brunch alongside fresh fruit. For a fancy presentation, cut each wrap diagonally and stack them neatly on a dessert platter with extra chocolate drizzle.
Storage Information
While best enjoyed fresh and warm, you can refrigerate leftover wraps for up to 2 days. Reheat them in a skillet or air fryer for 2–3 minutes until crisp again. Avoid microwaving—they’ll turn soggy. The cream cheese filling and fruit can also be prepared ahead of time and stored separately for up to 3 days.
FAQ
Can I make these wraps ahead of time?
Yes! Assemble them up to a few hours before serving, then toast and drizzle with chocolate right before serving.
Can I use pie filling instead of fresh cherries?
Absolutely. Cherry pie filling adds extra sweetness and works wonderfully if you prefer a richer, syrupy texture.
What type of tortillas should I use?
Regular flour tortillas work best—they’re soft, flexible, and crisp up beautifully. Avoid corn tortillas, which tend to crack.
Can these wraps be made vegan?
Yes! Simply use vegan cream cheese, dairy-free chocolate, and plant-based butter.
History / Fun Facts
Chocolate and cherries have been paired together since the 19th century, especially in European desserts like Black Forest cake. This wrap version takes that same luxurious flavor combo and transforms it into a modern, handheld delight. The concept of sweet wraps gained popularity in the early 2000s with dessert quesadillas and crepe-inspired wraps popping up in cafés—this recipe is a nostalgic nod to that era, reimagined with contemporary flair.
Tips for the Perfect Chocolate Drizzle
To achieve that elegant, glossy drizzle, melt your chocolate slowly in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each. For an extra smooth finish, add a touch of coconut oil or butter while melting. Use a spoon or small piping bag for precision drizzling.
Whether you’re serving these to impress guests or satisfying a late-night craving, Cherry Chocolate Drizzle Wraps are the ultimate quick dessert that proves fancy doesn’t have to mean fussy. In less than 15 minutes, you can have a café-worthy treat that’s melty, fruity, and irresistibly delicious.
