Let’s Make it Together
Let’s dive into the fun part—making these tasty little treats!
Prep Your Ingredients: Start by gathering all your ingredients together on a clean countertop. Wash your fruits thoroughly. If using apples or bananas, slice them thinly before tossing them with lemon juice to keep them from browning.
Make the Creamy Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. This step is crucial; no one likes chunky filling!
Spread the Love (and Filling): Take one tortilla at a time and spread about 1/4 cup of your cream cheese mixture evenly across it. Make sure every inch is covered—no tortilladans left behind!
Add Your Fruit Fiesta: Now comes the fun part! Sprinkle your chopped fruits over the cream cheese layer. Feel free to go wild—more berries equal more happy faces!
Roll It Up Tight!: Starting at one edge, carefully roll up each tortilla tightly but gently so you don’t squish out all that delicious filling. Keep rolling until you reach the end.
Slicing Time!: Once rolled up, grab a sharp knife and slice each roll into bite-sized pieces. Arrange them on a platter like beautiful little works of art waiting to be devoured.
Now that you’ve learned how to craft these delightful Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups, you’re ready to impress everyone around you! Enjoy every scrumptious bite!
