Let’s Make it together
Preparation is key to making these delightful Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups come together seamlessly.
Prepare Your Cream Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.
Spread It Out: Take a tortilla and spread an even layer of your cheesecake mixture over it. Leave about half an inch around the edges so it doesn’t ooze out when you roll.
Add Your Fruits: Layer assorted fresh fruits on top of the cream cheese mixture. Use vibrant colors like red strawberries, blue blueberries, and green kiwi for visual appeal.
Roll It Up: Starting from one end, gently roll the tortilla away from you into a tight cylinder. Make sure not to squish out the filling; it’s like rolling up your favorite pair of socks – firm but gentle!
Slice & Serve!: Once rolled up, slice each roll into bite-sized pieces about 1-2 inches thick. Arrange them beautifully on a serving platter to impress your guests.
Enjoy these delightful Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups chilled or at room temperature; they taste amazing either way!
