How To Make Berries and Cream Roll-Ups

Start by making the filling. Mix together the cream cheese, sugar, sour cream, and berries and mix through. Place the filling in the center of the tortilla. You can warm the tortilla for a few seconds in the microwave to make it more pliable. Secure the roll up with a toothpick. This will prevent the filling from spilling out.

Fry the tortillas in medium-hot oil until golden. Cover with the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Tips For Making Berry Pinwheels

Use Philadelphia cream cheese for best results!

If you don’t have fresh berries, you can also use fruits preserves or jam.

You can also use other fruits: banana, pineapple, strawberries, or even peaches.

Serve the Berry Pinwheels with fresh berries, whipped cream, and a drizzle of honey. Or you can serve it with ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup.

The Berry Pinwheels can also be made in the Airfryer. Place the roll ups in the Airfryer basket, and cook for 6 minutes at 320°F, turning halfway.

Don’t feel like a cinnamon sugar sprinkle? You can also drizzle the tortillas with melted white chocolate or caramel.

Try any of these tasty combinations:

• If you’re using bananas instead of berries, add Nutella (hazelnut cream), peanut butter, or caramel to the filling.
• If you’re using raspberries, use melted dark chocolate or chocolate nut spread for the filling.

How To Store Creamy Berry Tortilla Roll-Ups

You can store the Tortilla Roll-Ups in the fridge, in an airtight container, for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the oven at 375°F for 10 minutes.

You can also freeze it, simply wrap the cooled rolls in parchment paper, then add another layer of aluminum foil. Freeze for up to 2 months.

Instructions

Add the filling to the center of the tortilla.

Secure the roll with a toothpick and continue with the rest of the rolls.

Notes

Make sure to use an oil suitable for frying at higher temperatures (like canola, peanut, sunflower, or corn oil). Don’t make your oil too hot, otherwise the roll-ups will burn easily. The oil temperature should be at about 350°F.
