Ingredients
Scale
Bread
- 10–12 slices bread (any kind)
Cream Cheese Filling
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons powdered sugar
Cinnamon Sugar Coating
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
Other
- ½ cup butter, melted
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to prepare for baking the roll-ups.
- Prepare the bread: Slice off the crusts from each slice of bread to create a soft surface for rolling. Then, using a rolling pin, flatten each slice to make it easier to spread the filling and roll tightly.
- Make cream cheese filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Prepare coating dishes: Take two shallow dishes or pie plates; in one, mix the granulated sugar with cinnamon thoroughly, and in the other, pour the melted butter.
- Assemble roll-ups: Spread a thick layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each flattened slice of bread.
- Roll and coat: Roll each slice tightly into a log, then dip each roll-up into the melted butter, followed by rolling it in the cinnamon sugar mixture so it is well coated.
- Bake: Place the coated roll-ups on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake them in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until they are lightly browned and crispy on the edges.
- Serve: Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy these warm, sweet cinnamon cream cheese roll-ups immediately.
Notes
- For best results, use white sandwich bread as it rolls and bakes evenly, but other bread types can be used.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy spreading and smooth filling.
- Serve these roll-ups warm for the best flavor and soft texture.
- You can add a drizzle of honey or maple syrup on top for extra sweetness.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven for a few minutes to regain crispiness.
