Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups

1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

1. Beat Cream Cheese: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
2. Add Sugar and Vanilla: Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, beating until well combined.
3. Whip Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
4. Fold Together: Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and smooth.

2. Prepare the Fruit Salad:

1. Mix Fruit: In a large bowl, combine the sliced strawberries, blueberries, kiwi, and diced mango. If desired, drizzle with honey or maple syrup and toss gently to coat the fruit.
2. Chill: Refrigerate the fruit salad while you prepare the roll-ups.

3. Prepare the Bread:

1. Flatten Bread: Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread until thin and pliable.
2. Brush with Butter: Lightly brush one side of each bread slice with melted butter.

4. Assemble the Roll-Ups:

1. Spread Cheesecake Filling: Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling evenly over the non-buttered side of each bread slice.
2. Add Fruit Salad: Spoon some of the fruit salad mixture over the cheesecake filling, leaving a small border around the edges.
3. Roll Up: Carefully roll up each slice of bread tightly, starting from one end and rolling to the other.

5. Cook the Roll-Ups (Optional):

1. Preheat Pan: Heat a skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook Roll-Ups: Lightly brush the skillet with butter or oil. Place the roll-ups seam-side down in the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

6. Serve:

1. Slice and Serve: Slice the roll-ups into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately. You can garnish with additional fresh fruit or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Tips for Perfect Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups:

1. Use Fresh Bread: Use soft sandwich bread that is fresh to ensure it rolls easily and doesn’t tear.
2. Adjust Sweetness: Taste the fruit salad and adjust the sweetness with honey or maple syrup if needed.
3. Chill Roll-Ups: If you prefer not to cook the roll-ups, you can chill them for 30 minutes to set the filling before slicing.
