Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 3 tbsp raspberry jam or preserves
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, lightly mashed
  • 8 slices soft white bread or brioche, crusts removed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Butter, for frying (about 2 tbsp)
  • Extra powdered sugar, for dusting
  • Fresh raspberries or sliced strawberries (optional, for garnish)
  • Maple syrup or honey (optional, for drizzling)

Instructions

  1. Lay out 8 slices of soft white or brioche bread. Trim off the crusts and flatten each slice to about 1/4 inch thick with a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth and creamy. Stir in raspberry jam and lightly mashed raspberries.
  3. Spoon about 1 tbsp of cheesecake filling onto the lower third of each bread slice. Gently spread.
  4. Starting at the filled edge, roll each slice tightly into a log. Press gently to seal the seam.
  5. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until smooth.
  6. Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp butter.
  7. Quickly dip each roll-up into the egg mixture, coating all sides.
  8. Place dipped roll-ups seam side down in the hot skillet. Fry for 2–3 minutes per side, turning gently, until golden brown. Add more butter as needed.
  9. Transfer cooked roll-ups to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess butter. Let cool slightly.
  10. Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with extra berries if desired. Serve warm with maple syrup or honey.

Notes

For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, substitute gluten-free bread and plant-based cream cheese/milk. Don’t overfill the roll-ups to avoid leaks. Prep the filling and bread the night before for busy mornings. Let roll-ups cool for 1–2 minutes before serving, as the filling will be hot.
