RECIPE BACKSTORY
I came up with this recipe after going to my favorite Mongolian grill. I found a way to bring my favorite dessert a whole new taste and texture. I hope everyone enjoys this as much as I do! You can also use fruit sauces to dip cheesecake burritos into. It is such a delicacy! Just talking about it makes my mouth water!
