Fried Cheesecake Roll-Ups (Print Version)
Crispy bread rolls with cream cheese filling, fried golden and coated in cinnamon sugar for a quick, indulgent dessert.
# Ingredients:
→ Cream Cheese Filling
01 -
8 oz cream cheese, softened
02 -
1/4 cup powdered sugar
03 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
→ Roll-Ups
04 -
8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
05 -
1/2 cup granulated sugar
06 -
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
07 -
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (for brushing)
08 -
Oil for frying (such as vegetable or canola)
09 -
Optional toppings: whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
02 -
Flatten each slice of bread with a rolling pin until thin. Spread about 1 tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture along one edge of each slice and roll tightly into a log.
03 -
In a shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon together.
04 -
Heat 1 inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat until hot (about 350°F). Working in batches, fry the roll-ups seam-side down for 1–2 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy.
05 -
Remove with tongs and immediately roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat.
06 -
Serve warm with optional toppings like whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or fresh berries.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
You can bake these instead of frying—just brush with melted butter, roll in cinnamon sugar, and bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes until golden.
02 -
Try adding a slice of strawberry or banana inside each roll before frying for a fruity twist.
