Tips for making cream cheese roll ups
- Don't overstuff your pinwheels as tempting as this seems! Just a thin layer is good enough
- Use herb and garlic cream cheese! It's so much more flavourful.
- Finely chop those herbs! This will ensure that they stay inside your pinwheels.
- Roll your pinwheels with cream cheese very tightly!
- Be patient when it comes to refrigerating them prior to baking. This will ensure they stay rolled up.
I hope these tips are helpful in making my easy pinwheels recipe!
For this recipe
You will need the following ingredients for my cream cheese chive tortilla pinwheels:
- 3 tortilla wraps
- 1 bunch of fresh chives finely chopped
- 1 bunch of fresh dill finely chopped
- 227 grams of herb & garlic cream cheese at room temperature
- 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese (opt for good quality cheese)
How to make Cheese and Chive Pinwheels
Prepare your ingredients as listed above.
Lay out your tortilla wrap on a round plate.
Evenly spread about 3-4 tbsps. of Herb & Garlic Cream Cheese on the wrap. Then sprinkle cheddar cheese, chopped chives and dill until the wrap is evenly coated.
Tightly roll up the wrap. It should be 2 inches in diameter. Any less than that and I would advise unwrapping the roll and spreading more cream cheese. Repeat the above steps until there is no more filling left - it should yield about 3 rolls.
Wrap the roll in cellophane plastic and store in fridge for 1 hour to set.
After one hour has passed, remove the rolls from your fridge and take off the plastic. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F.
On a chopping board, slice the rolls diagonally (they should be about ¾ of an inch thick). Lie the pinwheels flat on a well oiled baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes flipping them over at the 5 minute mark.
Remove from oven and serve as is. Enjoy your tortilla roll ups!
