These cheesecake rolls filled with fresh strawberries and a creamy filling wrapped in soft tortillas are a delightful dessert that brings a touch of American charm to any gathering. With a graham cracker crust on the outside adding a pleasant crunch, this treat is as visually inviting as it is delicious. The entire process is quick and straightforward, making it a fantastic choice for beginners or anyone craving a sweet yet light dessert.
I first made this recipe for a family picnic and everyone loved how portable and tasty it was. Now it’s a favorite when friends come over for coffee or tea.
Ingredients
- Flour tortillas: small size these act as the soft edible wrap and are more flexible than traditional dessert bases
- Fresh strawberries: chopped bring natural sweetness and juicy freshness that perfectly complements the creaminess
- Granulated sugar: sweetens the strawberries helping to release natural juices and intensify flavor
- Cream cheese: softened creates the rich and creamy filling that’s smooth and luscious
- Powdered sugar: adds gentle sweetness to the cream cheese making it silky without graininess
- Vanilla extract: provides a warm fragrant note that enhances the overall flavor
- Graham cracker crumbs: for the crunchy coating using quality crumbs makes a difference look for slightly sweetened or honey grahams
- Unsalted butter: melted to bind the graham cracker crumbs and help them stick to the roll surface
Instructions
- Macerate strawberries:
- Combine strawberries and sugar and let them rest to create a natural syrup that will keep your rolls juicy
- Make the filling:
- Beat cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until perfectly smooth for a creamy texture that melts in your mouth
- Spread filling:
- Spread filling evenly on tortilla for balance in every bite ensuring no areas are too thick or sparse
- Add fruit:
- Layer sugared strawberries over cream cheese to add bursts of juicy fruit in each bite
- Roll tightly:
- Roll tortillas tightly burrito style to prevent filling from leaking and keep a neat appearance
- Prepare crumbs:
- Mix graham cracker crumbs with butter so crumbs stick well and give a crunchy exterior
- Coat rolls:
- Roll each filled tortilla in crumbs until fully coated for that signature crispy graham cracker crust
- Slice to serve:
- Slice rolls if you wish making them easy to serve and top with whipped cream if you like for that extra indulgence
- Chill:
- Let rolls chill before serving this helps the filling set a bit and enhances flavors
My favorite part is definitely the graham cracker crust Its the perfect contrast to the soft tortillas and creamy filling I remember making these for a summer barbecue and seeing everyone’s faces light up at the first bite
Storage tips
Store rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days to maintain freshness If refrigerated longer the tortillas may lose some softness so eating within a day is best To freeze wrap each roll tightly in plastic and foil place in a freezer bag and consume within one month for best texture
Ingredient substitutions
If you cannot find graham cracker crumbs try digestive biscuits crushed finely as a French friendly alternative Use cream cheese alternatives like Neufchatel or mascarpone for a milder flavor or a less rich texture Swap fresh strawberries with raspberries or blueberries for a different flavor profile but keep the sugar to macerate berries
Serving suggestions
Serve chilled or slightly warmed for different textures chilled highlights creaminess warmed melts the filling slightly Top with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a drizzle of honey for extra sweetness and visual appeal Add a sprinkle of chopped mint leaves or lemon zest to brighten flavors especially in warmer months
These strawberry cheesecake rolls are an easy crowd pleasing dessert perfect for picnics and casual gatherings. Make them ahead and chill for best texture.
