13. Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups
Forget the standard fruit salad bowl; these Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups offer a delightful textural surprise. A luscious, tangy cheesecake filling is spread thinly, then loaded with a vibrant medley of fresh, juicy fruits before being carefully rolled into compact, easy-to-handle spirals. The result is a creamy, sweet, and slightly tart bite that beautifully showcases the bright flavors of the fruit against a smooth, rich backdrop. These are fantastic for picnics or packed lunches since they hold their shape perfectly once chilled.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long do I need to chill the Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups before serving?
While the prep time is only 15 minutes, chilling is crucial for these roll-ups to firm up. We recommend chilling the assembled rolls for at least 2 hours, or until the cream cheese filling is completely set, to ensure clean slices.
Can I substitute the fresh fruit in these roll-ups with frozen fruit?
It's best to stick with fresh fruit like the strawberries, blueberries, and kiwi listed in this recipe. Frozen fruit contains excess moisture that will make the cream cheese filling watery and compromise the texture of your roll-ups.
What is the best way to store leftover Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups?
Store any leftovers tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Because they are made with fresh fruit and cream cheese, they are best enjoyed within 2 days for optimal freshness and texture.
