FAQs

Can I use frozen blueberries?

Yes, just thaw and pat them dry before using to avoid excess moisture.

Yes, use dairy-free cream cheese and shredded cheese alternatives.

Can I prepare it ahead of time?

You can assemble the quesadilla ahead and cook it just before serving.

Can I use flavored cream cheese?

What’s the best tortilla to use?

Can I add syrup inside?

It’s best drizzled on top to avoid making the quesadilla soggy.
