Baked Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups
Description
This recipe transforms simple bread slices by removing crusts and flattening them to create a pliable base that holds the cream cheese filling. The filling is a blend of softened cream cheese and powdered sugar, providing a tangy sweetness that contrasts with the cinnamon sugar coating. After spreading, the bread is rolled tightly and dipped first in melted butter and then in a mixture of granulated sugar and cinnamon, which caramelizes during baking.
The baking at 350°F results in a tender center with browned edges and a crisp exterior, combining creamy and crunchy textures. The taste offers the familiar flavors of cinnamon sugar alongside the subtle richness of cream cheese.
These roll-ups can be served warm for breakfast or dessert. Variations can include adding diced cooked apples, berries, Nutella, or peaches inside for flavor variety. They can also be baked ahead, cooled, and reheated for convenience.
