Tasty Cheesecake & Fruit Rolls

Category: Sweet Treats for Every Craving

Cheesecake & Fruit Rolls are a fun, easy way to enjoy fresh fruit. They combine creamy cheesecake in soft tortillas with fruit like kiwi, peaches, strawberries, and blueberries. Brush the tortillas with butter, roll them in cinnamon sugar, and slice into small, snackable bites. Perfect for warm-weather get-togethers, they’re quick to put together and best served chilled for a refreshing, sweet, and slightly spiced treat.

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.

→ How do I make this gluten-free?

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

Ingredients

→ Cheesecake Filling

01 1 ½ cups powdered sugar
02 ½ cup room-temperature unsalted butter
03 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 6 oz softened cream cheese
05 1 ¼ cups whipped cream (or ½ cup + 2 Tbsp chilled heavy cream + 2.5 Tbsp powdered sugar)

→ Fruits

06 3 small peaches, peeled and diced
07 2/3 cup diced fresh strawberries
08 ½ cup halved raspberries
09 2/3 cup whole fresh blueberries
10 2 kiwis, peeled and diced into small pieces

→ Tortillas and Coating

11 4–5 large tortillas, at room temperature
12 ½ cup granulated sugar
13 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or adjust to taste)
14 2–3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
15 2 (1 oz) boxes of sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix

Steps

Step 01

Using a mixer, beat chilled heavy cream until soft peaks start to form. Mix in 2.5 tablespoons of powdered sugar and whip until peaks stand firm. Keep aside.

Step 02

Blend butter, softened cream cheese, vanilla, and powdered sugar in a big bowl until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream.

Step 03

Carefully add the blueberries, strawberries, kiwis, and peaches to the creamy mix. If raspberries are too delicate, hold off and use them while spreading the filling on the tortillas.

Step 04

With a rubber spatula, stir in the instant vanilla pudding powder into the cheesecake blend.

Step 05

Pop the cheesecake mixture into the fridge and chill it for half an hour.

Step 06

Take the tortillas and spread the cheesecake mixture evenly. Scatter raspberries on top, then roll each tortilla as tightly as possible.

Step 07

Brush each rolled-up tortilla with melted butter. Cover them with a cinnamon-sugar mix, then slice each into pieces about 2/3-¾ inch thick.

Step 08

Go ahead and serve the rolls as soon as they're ready.

Notes

  1. Make sure tortillas are soft and at room temperature so they roll easier.
  2. Cooling the mixture helps improve both the consistency and taste before rolling.
