- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅓ cup butter, melted
- 8 slices white bread, crusts removed
Instructions
Preheat Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
Prepare Cream Cheese Filling: 2. In a medium bowl, mix together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside.
Prepare Cinnamon Sugar Mixture: 3. In a shallow bowl, combine the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
Flatten the Bread: 4. Using a rolling pin, flatten each slice of white bread until thin.
Assemble Rollups: 5. Spread a heaping tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each flattened bread slice, covering the surface evenly.
6. Roll up each slice tightly to form a log.
Coat Rollups: 7. Dip each roll into the melted butter, ensuring all sides are coated.
8. Immediately roll each buttered roll in the cinnamon sugar mixture, covering all sides.
Bake: 9. Place the coated rollups seam-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
Serve: 11. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
12. Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Optionally, serve with caramel sauce for dipping.
Notes
- Use Softened Cream Cheese – Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy spreading and a smooth, creamy filling.
- Fry Until Golden – Cook on medium heat to achieve a perfectly crispy texture without burning the cinnamon-sugar coating.
