Ingredients

• ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
• 1½ cups powdered sugar
• 6 oz cream cheese, room temperature
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1¼ cups whipped topping, or ½ cup chilled heavy cream + 2 Tbsp + 2½ Tbsp powdered sugar whipped to stiff peaks
• 2/3 cup fresh blueberries
• 2/3 cup small-diced fresh strawberries
• 3 small peaches, peeled and diced
• 2 kiwi, peeled and small-diced
• ½ cup fresh raspberries, halved
• 2 (1 oz) boxes sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix
• 4 to 5 large flour tortillas at room temperature
• 2–3 Tbsp melted unsalted butter
• ½ cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, or to taste

How to make No-bake Cheesecake fruit salad roll-ups

Step 1: If you are making your own whipped cream, start by chilling a mixing bowl and beaters. Pour the cold heavy cream into the bowl and beat on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Add 2½ tablespoons of powdered sugar and continue to beat until stiff peaks form. Set it aside.

Step 2: In a separate large bowl, combine the softened unsalted butter, room temperature cream cheese, vanilla extract, and 1½ cups of powdered sugar. Beat with an electric mixer until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy, with no lumps.

Step 3: Gently fold the whipped topping (or your homemade whipped cream) into the cream cheese mixture using a rubber spatula. Mix until just combined, being careful not to deflate the whipped cream.

Step 4: Sprinkle the two boxes of sugar-free vanilla instant pudding mix over the filling. Use your spatula to stir it in until it’s fully incorporated. This is the secret ingredient that will thicken the filling beautifully.

Step 5: Gently fold in the blueberries, diced strawberries, peaches, and kiwi. Reserve some of the halved raspberries to add just before rolling to prevent them from bleeding their color into the creamy white filling.

Step 6: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the fruit and cheesecake mixture in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help it firm up slightly, making it much easier to spread and roll.

Step 7: While the filling chills, prepare your coating. On a large plate or in a shallow dish, mix together the ½ cup of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon.

Step 8: Once the filling is chilled, lay a flour tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous, even layer of the cheesecake filling over the entire tortilla. Scatter a few of the reserved raspberry halves over the top.

Step 9: Roll the tortilla up as tightly as you can. Brush the entire outside of the roll with melted butter, then immediately roll it in the cinnamon-sugar mixture until it’s evenly coated.

Step 10: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into ⅔ to ¾-inch thick pinwheels. Serve them immediately for the best texture and flavor.

How to serve No-bake Cheesecake fruit salad roll-ups

These cheesecake roll-ups are a star attraction on their own! Arrange the pinwheels on a platter for an eye-catching display at parties, potlucks, or family gatherings. For an extra touch of decadence, you can serve them with a small bowl of extra whipped cream for dipping or a light drizzle of caramel or white chocolate sauce. They make a fantastic after-school snack, a light dessert, or even a fun brunch item.

How to store No-bake Cheesecake fruit salad roll-ups

These roll-ups are best enjoyed immediately after they are made. The cinnamon-sugar coating is crunchiest and the tortilla is softest right after assembly. If you have leftovers, you can store them in a single layer in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Be aware that the tortilla will soften over time as it absorbs moisture from the filling. For best results, if you need to plan ahead, you can make the filling and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Then, simply assemble and slice the roll-ups just before you’re ready to serve.

Tips to make No-Bake Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups

Use Room Temperature Ingredients: For the smoothest, creamiest cheesecake filling, make sure your cream cheese and butter are truly at room temperature. This prevents any lumps and ensures everything mixes together seamlessly.

Dice Fruit Small and Dry: Cut your fruit into small, uniform pieces. This not only distributes the fruit evenly in every bite but also makes the tortillas easier to roll tightly. After washing, gently pat the fruit dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture, which will keep your filling from becoming watery.

Don’t Skip the Chill Time: Chilling the filling for 30 minutes is a crucial step. It allows the pudding mix to work its magic, firming up the mixture so it doesn’t ooze out when you roll and slice the tortillas.

Be Gentle When Folding: To keep the filling light and airy, use a gentle folding motion with a spatula when incorporating the whipped topping and the fruit. Overmixing can deflate the cream and break down the fruit.

Choose Soft Tortillas: Use large, fresh, and soft flour tortillas. Stale or stiff tortillas are more likely to crack when you roll them.

FAQs About No-bake Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups

Can I use different fruits in this recipe?

Absolutely! This recipe is fantastic with a variety of fruits. Try diced mango, pineapple, or blackberries. Just be sure to avoid fruits with very high water content, like watermelon or citrus segments, as they can make the filling too wet.

Do I have to use sugar-free pudding mix?

No, you can use regular vanilla instant pudding mix if you prefer. The sugar-free version is used to balance the sweetness from the powdered sugar and fruit, but either will work to thicken the filling.

Can I make these gluten-free?

Yes, you can easily adapt this recipe to be gluten-free. Simply substitute the flour tortillas with your favorite brand of large, gluten-free tortillas. Ensure they are soft and pliable for easy rolling.
