Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

These Cinnamon cheese Roll-Ups are the simplest thing to happen to sliced bread since sliced bread!

I was moved to reintroduce this recipe as it’s one among my most visited and pinned posts. 

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups

While organizing my recipe drawer I stumbled upon directions for a dessert that I hadn’t made in years. This small torn and tattered recipe card, wedged between the pages of alittle book, had made its way back to my attention.

This dessert, aromatic and fancy (to me) created quite the shock for all folks once we discovered that its main ingredient was sliced bread.

INGREDIENTS :

• 20 slices white bread, crusts removed
• 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
• ½ tsp. vanilla
• 1 cup sugar
• 1½ tsp. ground cinnamon
• ⅔ cup melted butter

INSTRUCTIONS :

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. One at a time, roll out each slice of bread until flattened.
3. In a medium sized bowl, beat cream cheese, vanilla and ¼ cup of sugar.
4. In a small bowl, combine remaining ¾ cup of sugar and cinnamon, and set aside.
5. Divide cream cheese mixture and spread on each slice of bread (about 1 Tbsp./slice).
6. Roll up each slice.
7. Dip each roll in melted butter so that it's fully covered.
8. Roll in cinnamon sugar mix.
9. Arrange, seam-side down, on baking sheet.
10. Bake for 15 - 18 minutes until rolls start to puff.
11. Serve warm.
