Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 12 oz soft white sandwich bread trim off crusts, then flatten
  • 9 oz block cream cheese, softened
  • 0.33 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1.5 tbsp milk just to loosen the filling
  • 0.5 cup granulated sugar
  • 1.5 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 5 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 0.125 tsp fine salt a tiny pinch balances sweetness

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 350°F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment.
  • Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla, milk, and salt until smooth and spreadable.
  • Trim crusts from the bread and gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin.
  • Spread 1 to 1½ tablespoons filling over each slice, going nearly to the edges. Roll up tightly.
  • Stir granulated sugar and cinnamon together in a shallow dish.
  • Brush each roll-up all over with melted butter.
  • Roll the buttered logs in cinnamon sugar to coat on all sides.
  • Arrange seam-side down on the baking sheet. Bake 10–13 minutes, turning once, until crisp and lightly golden.
  • Cool 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm.

Notes

Try a swirl: spread a thin layer of strawberry jam or add a little orange zest to the filling. Air fryer option: cook at 375°F for 6–8 minutes, turning once. Freeze unbaked roll-ups on a sheet, then bag and bake from frozen, adding 2–3 minutes.
