These mouthwatering Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups turn classic fruits into handy, fun bites everyone will ask for. Sweet, creamy filling meets juicy fruit and crispy, cinnamon-sugar tortillas. Every bite gives you crazy good texture—zippy, creamy, and a little crunchy.
Whenever we throw a backyard bash, I always whip up these roll ups. I dreamed them up when I needed a grab-and-go twist on our family’s fruit salad cheesecake. Now it’s the only thing my friends ask me to bring for summer parties.
Ingredients
- Cinnamon-sugar coating: Crisp and warm, it gives these a churro-like edge
- Tortillas: Grab the big flour kind so wrapping is a breeze
- Fresh, firm fruit: Naturally sweet and colorful—pick whatever looks good and isn’t too soft
- Cream cheese: Use the full-fat kind for that thick, tangy cheesecake bite
- Butter, softened: Makes the filling super smooth and lush
- Vanilla instant pudding mix: Helps keep the filling from getting runny
Easy Step-by-Step Guide
- Cut and Plate:
- Slices work best around 3/4-inch thick. Use a sharp knife, then serve right away for perfect doughy and creamy vibes.
- Roll and Seal:
- Spread the chilled mix all the way to the edges of the tortilla, scatter some saved raspberries over, roll it up tight, and make sure every bit gets filling.
- Finish with Sweetness:
- Coat each roll up with melty butter, then give it a tasty cinnamon-sugar roll for that awesome crunch outside.
- Mix It Up:
- Now gently fold your whipped cream into the cheesecake mix. Go gentle so it stays fluffy and smooth.
- Prep That Base:
- Whip the room-temp butter, cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar till it's light and soft. Scrape down the bowl to mix it well. A couple minutes does it.
- Add Your Fruits:
- Start folding in blueberries, peach pieces, kiwi, and strawberries. Gently put in raspberries at the end so they don’t bleed everywhere—your filling will look like jewels!
- Makes Things Set:
- Sprinkle in the pudding powder. This keeps everything thick and stops the filling from turning soupy when the fruit gets juicy.
- Whip Your Cream:
- Beat cold heavy cream to soft peaks, add powdered sugar, and keep going till stiff peaks form. That’s what makes this combo so airy.

I’m obsessed with how the kiwi pops with tartness and a splash of green in every roll up. My daughter loves helping, and letting her arrange the raspberries is our favorite summer mom-and-kid project.
Picking The Best Fruit
Nailing these roll ups starts with the fruit. Go for stuff that feels ripe but not mushy. Berries should be firm, kiwi just barely soft, and peaches with some give. After washing, pat everything dry to keep the filling nice and thick. Can’t find fresh? Use thawed, well-drained frozen fruit in a pinch during colder months.
Storage Tips
Honestly, these are at their best eaten right away. If you have to keep them, store the parts separate—the filling will last a day in the fridge if covered. Already rolled? Lay them flat in a container with a lid for a couple hours tops. The tortillas start getting soft if you wait, so fresh is the way to go for a perfect creamy-crunchy bite.
How To Switch Things Up
Easy to fit to your diet. For less sugar, grab lower-fat cream cheese and use sugar-sweet fruits like ripe strawberries or peaches. Need to skip gluten? Pick up gluten-free tortillas or crepes. No dairy? Trade in plant-based butter, dairy-free cream cheese, and coconut whip for the dairy stuff. Out of vanilla pudding? Stir in a little cornstarch with vanilla extract to help keep things firm.

Recipe FAQs
- → Can frozen fruit replace fresh fruit?
Fresh fruit works best for taste and texture, but thawed frozen fruit will work too. Just dry it well to keep things from getting soggy.
- → Can I prep these ahead?
Sure! The filling can chill in the fridge for a few hours. Just assemble and coat the rolls when you're ready to serve to keep them fresh.
- → What’s the secret to avoiding soggy tortillas?
Use chilled filling and don’t overload the tortillas. Put them together just before serving for the best results.
- → What other fruits could I try?
Fruits like pineapple, mango, or blackberries are great options. Pick firmer ones that won’t get mushy.

Just swap in gluten-free tortillas. Double-check all other ingredients, like pudding mixes, to ensure they’re certified gluten-free as well.
