Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix cream cheese, honey, and orange peel until well combined.
- Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture over a tortilla.
- Spread 1/4 cup of chopped assorted fruit over the cream cheese layer.
- Repeat the process with remaining tortillas, cream cheese mixture, and chopped fruit.
- Garnish each roll-up with seedless grapes before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for a different sweetness. Experiment with fruits like strawberries, kiwi, or blueberries for variety. If the tortillas are too stiff, warm them slightly before spreading the cream cheese mixture to make rolling easier.
Serving Suggestions
These Fruity Cream Cheese Roll-Ups make a delightful snack or breakfast option. Serve them with a side of yogurt for dipping or alongside a fresh fruit salad. They pair beautifully with the Banana Orange Shake for a balanced meal. For a festive touch, garnish with mint leaves or a drizzle of honey before serving.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover roll-ups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh, but you can also freeze them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil for up to a month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. To refresh, you can slice them into bite-sized pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of tortillas?
Yes, you can use whole wheat, spinach, or even gluten-free tortillas to suit dietary preferences. Each type will add its own unique flavor and texture. Just ensure they are pliable enough to roll without tearing.
What fruits work best for this recipe?
You can use any combination of fruits you like, such as bananas, berries, apples, or peaches. Choose fresh, ripe fruits for the best flavor. Avoid overly watery fruits like watermelon, which may make the roll-ups soggy.
Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the roll-ups a few hours in advance. Just keep them wrapped tightly in plastic wrap to prevent them from drying out. However, it's best to add the grapes just before serving to maintain their freshness.
