Description

Celebrate the season with these Cranberry Orange Cream Cheese Christmas Roll-Ups sweet, creamy, and bursting with bright holiday flavor. These festive bite-sized pinwheels pair tangy cranberry sauce with zesty orange and smooth cream cheese, all wrapped in soft flour tortillas for an irresistibly simple yet elegant treat. Perfect for parties, potlucks, brunch tables, or easy holiday snacking, these roll-ups deliver Christmas cheer in every delicious swirl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 large flour tortillas
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup cranberry sauce (homemade or store-bought)
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon orange zest
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans (optional)
  • Fresh cranberries and orange slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, cranberry sauce, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and orange zest. Mix until the filling is smooth and fully blended.
  2. Lay a tortilla flat and spread an even layer of the cranberry cream cheese mixture over the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. If desired, sprinkle chopped pecans over the filling for added crunch and flavor.
  4. Starting from one end, roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Repeat with all tortillas and remaining filling.
  5. Wrap each roll-up in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to help them firm up.
  6. Once chilled, slice each roll-up into bite-sized pinwheels and arrange on a serving platter.
  7. Garnish with fresh cranberries and orange slices, then serve immediately or refrigerate until ready.

Notes

  1. Use Softened Cream Cheese: This ensures a smooth, spreadable filling that won’t tear the tortillas.
  2. Chill Before Slicing: Refrigeration firms up the roll-ups, giving you cleaner, more uniform slices.
  3. Choose Fresh Tortillas: Soft, pliable tortillas roll more easily and hold their shape better.
