This multi-layered dessert grilled quesadilla is filled with chocolate, raspberries, and ricotta. It is a great option to end a grilled meal outdoors.
This dessert has a creamy filling made with ricotta cheese and sugar. If you don’t have ricotta cheese on hand, try other soft spreadable cheeses, like cream cheese or cottage cheese. The tortilla dessert is cut into slices to be served like a cake.Â
The ‘cooking’ is mainly a heating process to melt the chocolate and warm the filling as well as getting a toasty grill mark look and taste on the bottom tortilla. Note that not all chocolates ooze when melted so may appear not hot when it actually is.
Layers of tortillas, ricotta, chocolate, and raspberries are grilled then cut like a cake.
Depending on the type of chocolate you use, it may not melt all the way, but just become soft.
Grill the quesadilla, turning it every two minutes, so that the char marks don’t burn.
Once grilled, cut the chocolate raspberry quesadilla into wedges, like a cake.
Cook the chocolate raspberry quesadilla until the filling is warm and the bottom has nice char marks.

Filling
- 1 container (16 oz) whole milk ricotta cheese
- 3/4 cup confectioners sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

- 8 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, cut in half
Equipment

Directions
Filling
- Mix the ricotta, sugar, and vanilla together in a small bowl until smooth.
Quesadilla
- Place one tortilla on a cutting board. Spread ¼ of the filling on the tortilla (this is the bottom of the quesadilla).
- Sprinkle ¼ of the chocolate chips on the filling, then lay the second tortilla on top.
- Spread a light film of filling on top. Sprinkle the halved raspberries on the tortilla and add a few more chocolate chips. Repeat layers with remaining ingredients.
