Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups

Step-by-Step Instructions

Here’s how to create your cheesecake roll-ups, step by step:

Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a chilled bowl, beat the heavy cream and powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Set this aside for later.
Make the Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until everything is well combined.
Fold in the Fruits: Carefully fold the blueberries, strawberries, peaches, and kiwis into the mixture. Add the raspberries last to prevent them from coloring the cream too soon.
Incorporate Pudding: Stir in the sugar-free vanilla instant pudding powder to thicken the mixture for a perfect consistency.
Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the filling for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to spread later.
Assemble the Roll-Ups: Spread the chilled cheesecake fruit filling evenly over the tortillas. Place a few raspberries on top of each, then tightly roll them up.
Finish with Cinnamon Sugar: Brush the outside of each roll-up with melted butter, and then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture. Cut into slices and serve immediately for a delightful finish!

Best Ways to Enjoy It

To serve these Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups, consider cutting them into bite-sized pieces and arranging them on a platter for a visually appealing display. You could also garnish with a sprinkle of fresh mint leaves or a drizzle of chocolate or caramel sauce. Pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent dessert experience, or enjoy them as is for a light, fruity snack.

Keeping Leftovers Fresh

If you happen to have any leftovers (which is unlikely, but just in case!), store the roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’re best consumed within a day or two, as the tortillas can become soggy over time. If you plan to store them longer, consider keeping the filling and tortillas separate until you’re ready to enjoy them.

Helpful Cooking Tips

Chill Your Tools: For the best whipped cream, use a chilled bowl and beaters.
Experiment with Flavors: Feel free to add a touch of lemon zest or almond extract for a unique twist on the filling.
Tortilla Choice: While flour tortillas work great, you can also try whole wheat or even gluten-free tortillas for a healthier option.

Creative Twists

Fruit Swaps: Mix in other fruits like mango, pineapple, or even blackberries to add fun flavors.
Toppings Variety: Consider topping with a sprinkle of shredded coconut, chopped nuts, or even mini chocolate chips.
Healthier Options: Use Greek yogurt instead of cream cheese for a lighter filling without sacrificing taste.
