Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
- Beat the mixture with an electric mixer or whisk until it is smooth and creamy.
- Chop the Fruit:
- Wash and dry the fruit.
- Chop the fruit into small, bite-sized pieces. Mix the fruit together in a separate bowl.
- Warm the Tortillas:
- Warm the tortillas slightly in a dry skillet over medium heat for about 15 seconds on each side, or microwave them for about 15 seconds to make them more pliable.
- Assemble the Roll-Ups:
- Lay a tortilla flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Sprinkle a portion of the chopped fruit evenly over the cheesecake filling.
- Roll up the tortilla tightly from one end to the other.
- Slice and Serve:
- If desired, wrap the roll-ups in plastic wrap or parchment paper and chill them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to help the filling set.
- Slice each roll-up into 1-inch pieces and arrange them on a serving platter.
- Serve immediately, or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
