Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh raspberries
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)
  • Extra fresh raspberries (optional, for garnish)
  • Maple syrup or berry sauce (optional, for serving)

Instructions

  1. Trim crusts from bread and flatten each slice to about 1/8-inch thick using a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, beat together cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and lemon zest until smooth.
  3. Spread about 1 tablespoon of cheesecake mixture onto each bread slice, leaving a small border.
  4. Place 4-5 raspberries at one end of each slice and roll up tightly, starting from the raspberry end.
  5. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, and salt until smooth.
  6. Dip each roll-up quickly in the custard mixture, coating all sides.
  7. Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add roll-ups seam side down and cook 2-3 minutes per side until golden and crisp.
  8. Transfer cooked roll-ups to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Let cool for 1-2 minutes.
  9. Dust with powdered sugar, garnish with extra raspberries, and serve with maple syrup or berry sauce.

Notes

For best results, use fresh raspberries and softened cream cheese. Brioche or challah bread can be substituted for richer flavor. To make gluten-free, use GF bread and dairy-free cream cheese. Avoid overfilling to prevent leaks. Keep cooked roll-ups warm in a low oven if making a large batch.
