WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Here is what you’ll need to make these strawberry cheesecake roll-ups:

• Bread: I used whole wheat bread here, but any other type of sandwich bread works as well.
• Cream Cheese: I used full fat cream cheese.
• Strawberries: The main source of sweetness for these roll-ups. Try to use strawberries that are ripe, sweet and not sour.
• Egg: Used to firm up the liquids in the bread.
• Milk: Used to add creaminess to the batter.
• Cinnamon: Warm spice that adds flavor the the batter.
• Vanilla Extract: Used to enhance the natural sweetness of the roll-ups.
• Butter: For pan-frying.

PROCESS

1. Remove the crust from the slices of bread and roll out flat using a rolling pin. 
2. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each slice.
3. Add sliced strawberries to one end and roll into a log. 
4. Whisk together the egg, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract to form the batter.
5. Quickly dip the roll-ups into the batter and coat all of the sides. Shake off the excess batter.
6. Melt butter on a pan and cook roll-ups until all sides are brown.

STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS

These roll-ups are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days. To reheat, pan fry on low heat until warmed through. To freeze, store in a freezer-safe Ziploc bag for up to 1 month.

SUBSTITUTIONS

• Strawberries: You may replace the strawberries with any other berry such as blueberries or raspberries.
• Cream cheese: You may replace the cream cheese with ricotta cheese or a nut/seed butter spread.

RECIPE NOTES

• Use a bread that is easy to roll out. Some types of bread break apart easily and would not be ideal for this recipe.
• These roll-ups can be customized with any fillings! Jams and other spreads are great alternatives.
• These roll-ups pair well with a drizzle of maple syrup or powdered sugar dusted on top for the adults!
