How to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Roll Ups

Ingredients:

6-8 soft flour tortillas (8-inch/20cm size)
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, diced
3 tbsp (42g) butter, for frying
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 tsp cinnamon
Optional: 1/2 tsp lemon zest

Directions:

In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until smooth and creamy. If you like, add lemon zest for extra flavor.
Dice the strawberries into small, pea-sized pieces. Reserve a few slices for garnish if you want.
Lay a tortilla flat and spread about 2 tablespoons of the cheesecake filling in a line about 1 inch from one edge. Sprinkle diced strawberries over the filling. Roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go, and repeat with remaining tortillas and filling.
In a shallow dish, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together for the coating.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place 2-3 roll-ups seam-side down and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crispy. Add more butter as needed for each batch.
Immediately after frying, roll each roll-up in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
Slice each roll-up in half, garnish with reserved strawberry slices, and dust with powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm.

How to Serve Strawberry Cheesecake Roll Ups

Serve these delicious roll-ups warm. You can enjoy them plain or with a drizzle of chocolate sauce or whipped cream. They also make a great addition to a brunch spread or can be served as a dessert after a meal.

How to Store Strawberry Cheesecake Roll Ups

If you have leftover roll-ups, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes on each side until warmed through.

Tips to Make Strawberry Cheesecake Roll Ups
