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.
