Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Cream Cheese: Use softened cream cheese for a smooth filling that mixes well with other ingredients.

• Sugar: Granulated sugar adds sweetness and balances the tanginess of the cream cheese.

• Vanilla Extract: Pure vanilla extract enhances flavor; it’s worth splurging on for this recipe.

• Tortillas: Flour tortillas work best as they provide flexibility and hold the filling without tearing.

• Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: Combine cinnamon and sugar for sprinkling on top; it adds warmth and extra sweetness.

• Oil (for frying): Use vegetable oil with a high smoke point for frying; it helps achieve that crispy texture.

How to Make Crispy Cheesecake Roll-Ups

Create the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until smooth and creamy with a hand mixer or whisk.

Prepare Tortillas: Lay out your flour tortillas on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling across each tortilla, leaving space around the edges.

Roll Them Up: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly from one end to the other. Make sure they’re snug but not overly tight, as this helps keep the filling intact while frying.

Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add enough vegetable oil to cover the bottom. Allow it to heat until shimmering; this usually takes about 3-5 minutes.

Fry the Roll-Ups: Place each rolled tortilla seam-side down in hot oil. Fry until golden brown on all sides, roughly 2-3 minutes per side. This creates that delightful crispy exterior.

Coat With Cinnamon Sugar: Once fried, remove them from the skillet and immediately coat with cinnamon sugar mixture while they’re still warm. This gives them an irresistible sweet crunch.

Enjoy every delicious bite of these Crispy Cheesecake Roll-Ups! They’re sure to become a favorite in your household just like they did in mine.

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by mixing the cream cheese filling while preheating the oven. Assemble the roll-ups and bake them until golden brown for optimal texture.

Add Your Touch

Consider adding chocolate chips or fruit preserves to the cream cheese filling for added flavor. A sprinkle of cinnamon can elevate these roll-ups even further.

Storing & Reheating

Store leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat them in the oven at 350°F for five minutes for that fresh-out-of-the-oven crunch.

Making these Crispy Cheesecake Roll-Ups always brings back memories of my sister’s birthday parties, where we’d devour them faster than you could say “cheesecake.”
