Makes: 22
Cooking Time: 10 minutes
What You’ll Need:
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoon strawberry jelly
- 1 egg yolk
- 3/4 cup sugar, divided
- 22 slice white bread, crusts removed
- 2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4 tablespoon butter, melted
- Syrup (optional)
- Sliced strawberries and blueberries for topping (optional)
What To Do:
- In a medium bowl mix together the cream cheese, strawberry jelly, egg yolk, and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth; set aside.
- With a rolling pin, roll out each slice of bread so it’s about ¼-inch thick. Spread cream cheese mixture over bread, distributing evenly. Roll up each slice jellyroll-style and place seam-side down on a baking sheet.
- In a shallow dish, combine remaining 1/2 cup sugar and the cinnamon. Brush melted butter over rollups then roll them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, until completely coated. Repeat with remaining rollups, returning them to baking sheet after coating.
- Cover and freeze at least 2 hours or up to 2 months.
- Just before serving, preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Bake rollups 10 to 12 minutes or until golden. Serve as is, or topped with syrup, and/or berries.
Notes:
- Did you know these heat really well in an air fryer or toaster oven? That makes them perfect for the older kids in the morning or as a fun after school snack.
