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

This is one of my go to break recipes for my son. He loves them and I always make some for me too!
I’m so glad you both liked these rollups!😊
Made these today for my 10 month old (2.5 month premie) and he loved it. Super quick and easy to hold for babies adjusting to self feeding. He has 2 teeth and another 2 coming out so he’s adjusting to really chewing and this was great for him to have without worried of choking. I used blueberries since that’s all we had.
I’m so glad to hear that your little one enjoyed these rollups! Thanks for sharing your feedback, Carol!😊
My daughter is 1 and LOVED this. I’d like to try other fruits maybe blueberries. Thank you for sharing!
I’m so glad to hear that she liked them!😊
Just made these for my son but I used blueberries instead of strawberries because all I had was strawberry cream cheese. My 16 month old is eating them up! I wish I could post a pic on here to show his enjoyment lol. Thanks for this recipe!
