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!
A Little Background Before We Get Started-
I spent a little thyme in the test kitchen last summer adapting a recipe or two. For the cheesecake wraps, I used a recipe that was originally shared by the University of Nebraska – Lincoln. It was included in the Piatt Co Illinois Home Extension newsletter in May.
Are you familiar with Home Extension? The short answer is it is part of the land grant university system. 4-H falls under the Extension service. Being involved in 4-H when I was growing up is one of the reasons I have the knowledge and the ability to share that knowledge with all of you! I will share more about the programs that the Extension services offer at a later time!
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!

Cooking With Kim
My entrepreneurial journey started with my love of herbs, both growing and cooking with them. My love of herbs eventually led to owning a pizzeria.
After relocating to Florida, I decided to start a blog.
Throughout my culinary career, I have discovered the using mixes can make a cook’s life so much easier! Using a mix to make a recipe is as simple as adding a few ingredients to the mix and then stirring, cooking or chilling and serving! Mixes are such a time saver! After meeting the ladies from Mad Dash Mixes* at a blogging conference last summer, I decided to add a weekly blog post featuring recipes using their mixes. Now I am now having a lot of fun working with the ladies from Mad Dash Mixes.
They did send me some products to sample but my opinions about the products are my own. My full disclosure policy can be found on the Disclosure page.
*If you would like to try some of their products, I have arranged for you to receive a 15% discount if you use the code farmhouse. Orders can be placed at http://www.MadDashMixes.com
