Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
Flour Tortillas: Opt for medium-sized tortillas for easy rolling without tearing.
Cream Cheese: Choose full-fat cream cheese for a rich flavor; let it soften at room temperature for smooth mixing.
Powdered Sugar: This adds sweetness without the graininess of granulated sugar; adjust to taste based on your sweetness preference.
Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract enhances the flavor profile; skip imitation varieties if possible.
Fresh Fruits: Use a mix of berries, bananas, and kiwis for vibrant colors and varying flavors; feel free to include seasonal options.
Coconut Flakes (Optional): Unsweetened coconut adds texture; sprinkle inside before rolling for extra chewiness.
The full ingredients list, including measurements, is provided in the recipe card directly below.
Let’s Make it Together
Prepare the Creamy Filling: Start by using an electric mixer to blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract to enhance the flavor further while mixing.
Chop Your Fruits: Dice your chosen fruits into small pieces so they fit perfectly inside your roll-ups. Aim for bite-sized chunks to create balanced bites with every taste.
Assemble Your Roll Ups: Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly across its surface. Sprinkle some chopped fruits over one half of the tortilla.
Roll It Up!: Carefully fold the side with fruit over towards the center and then roll tightly from the edge closest to you until you have a neat little package. Repeat this process with remaining tortillas.
Slice and Serve!: Using a sharp knife, cut each roll-up into bite-sized pieces—about two inches thick works well. Feel free to arrange them on a platter like colorful jewels!
Enjoy these delightful bites right away or refrigerate them briefly before serving to allow flavors to meld together beautifully!
