Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Flour Tortillas: Soft tortillas serve as the perfect wrap, offering great flexibility without breaking apart easily.
Cream Cheese: Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth filling that’s easy to spread.
Powdered Sugar: Sweeten the cream cheese filling with powdered sugar for added sweetness without grittiness.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla adds warm undertones that elevate the cheesecake flavor.
Assorted Fresh Fruits: Choose your favorites such as strawberries, blueberries, or kiwi for vibrant colors and flavors.
Coconut Flakes (Optional): For an extra tropical twist, sprinkle some toasted coconut flakes inside before rolling up.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until creamy and smooth—this should take about 2-3 minutes.
Prep Your Tortillas: Lay one tortilla on a flat surface. Spread about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake filling evenly over it using a spatula—make sure to leave about half an inch from the edges.
Add the Fruits: Scatter your chosen fresh fruits over one side of the cheesecake-covered tortilla. Don’t be shy; pile them high for maximum flavor!
Roll It Up: Starting from the side with fruit, carefully roll the tortilla tightly but gently. You want it snug enough that nothing spills out but not so tight that it squishes everything.
Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, cut each roll-up into bite-sized pieces—about 1-2 inches wide works best. Arrange them on a platter for all to admire before devouring!
Cooking becomes less daunting when you break it down step by step like this. With these Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups ready in no time, you’ll have plenty of reasons to celebrate!
