Flour Tortillas: Use large tortillas for easy rolling; soft ones work best to avoid cracking.
Cream Cheese: Opt for full-fat cream cheese for a rich and creamy filling.
Powdered Sugar: This adds sweetness without the grittiness of granulated sugar; adjust to taste.
Vanilla Extract: A splash of vanilla enhances the cheesecake flavor beautifully.
Fresh Mixed Fruits: Strawberries, blueberries, and bananas bring color and freshness; use whatever is in season!
Whipped Cream: Optional but adds a lightness that complements the creamy filling perfectly.

Let’s Make it together
Prepare Your Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and fluffy. Add vanilla extract for an aromatic touch.
Chop Your Fruits: Dice your fresh mixed fruits into small pieces for easy rolling. Choose colorful varieties for visual appeal; they should look as good as they taste!
Spread the Filling: Take a flour tortilla and spread a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture evenly across it. Leave some space at the edges to prevent overflow during rolling.
Add Fruits: Sprinkle your diced fruits over the cheesecake spread. Feel free to mix different fruits to create layers of flavor; be creative!
Roll it Up: Carefully roll the tortilla from one end to another, tucking in fruits as you go along. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces for easy serving.
Chill and Serve: Place finished roll-ups in the fridge for about 30 minutes before serving. This allows flavors to meld beautifully while keeping them fresh.
