Strawberry Cream Cheese Rollups (Easy Dessert Tortilla Pinwheels)

These Strawberry Cream Cheese Rollups are the kind of sweet snack that disappears suspiciously fast. Soft flour tortillas get filled with a smooth vanilla cream cheese layer and fresh strawberry flavor, then baked or pan-toasted until lightly golden. Finish with a snowfall of powdered sugar and you’ve got a quick dessert that feels like a bakery cheat code.

Ingredients

• 8 flour tortillas

• 2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)

How to Make Strawberry Cheese Rollups

1) Make the filling

In a bowl, mix cream cheese + powdered sugar + vanilla until smooth and fluffy.

2) Fill & roll

Spread a thin, even layer on each tortilla. Add chopped strawberries (or a thin swipe of strawberry preserves). Roll up tightly.

3) Cook (choose one)

Skillet method (crispy edges):
Brush with melted butter. Cook on a skillet over medium heat, turning until lightly golden on all sides.

Oven method (easy batch):
Brush with melted butter. Bake at 375°F (190°C) until lightly golden.

4) Finish

Slice into pinwheels and dust with powdered sugar. Serve warm.

Tips & Variations

• Use preserves for stronger strawberry flavor and less mess.

• Add a pinch of lemon zest to the cream cheese for a bright, fresh twist.

• Want extra crunch? Roll in cinnamon sugar after brushing with butter.

• Chill the rolled tortillas for 10 minutes before slicing if you want super clean pinwheels.
