Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups are what I make when I want dessert to feel fun, light, and totally snackable. Maybe you want something sweet after dinner but don’t want to bake. Or you’ve got ripe berries begging to be used, and tortillas sitting in the pantry. These dreamy little wraps solve it. They’re soft, creamy, juicy, and they come together fast. Stick with me, and you’ll have a plate of them ready before your coffee cools.
What are Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups?
Think of them as playful wraps stuffed with a tangy vanilla cheesecake filling and plenty of fresh fruit. The tortillas get a light toast to make them flexible and slightly crisp on the edges, and the inside stays cool and creamy. If you love fruit salad and also love cheesecake, this is your happy middle ground. They’re easy to slice into cute pinwheels for parties, or you can keep them full-length and sink your teeth into that creamy center. Basically, they’re everything you want in a quick dessert, all rolled up.
I like to describe these as budget-friendly, no-bake wins that still feel special. The filling is smooth like cheesecake but not as heavy, thanks to a touch of yogurt for brightness. The fruit is up to you. Strawberries and blueberries are classic, but peaches, kiwi, or mango make them pop.
If you’re as obsessed with berry desserts as I am, you’ll probably love trying blueberry cheesecake rolls next. And yes, this recipe totally earns the name Delicious Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups You’ll Crave! because that’s exactly what happens after one bite.
Ingredients for Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups
The basics
- Soft flour tortillas or wraps: Burrito size works best for rolling and slicing.
- Cream cheese: Full-fat gives the best texture.
- Greek yogurt or sour cream: Adds lightness and a little tang.
- Powdered sugar: For a smooth sweetness that blends easily.
- Vanilla extract and a pinch of salt: Round out the flavor.
- Lemon zest: Brightens the filling and plays well with fruit.
- Fresh fruit: Strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, diced mango, kiwi, or peaches. Pat them dry so your roll-ups don’t get soggy.
- Optional add-ins: Mini chocolate chips, shredded coconut, or finely chopped mint.
Why these work
Cream cheese gives structure. Yogurt keeps the filling spreadable and not heavy. Powdered sugar dissolves quickly without grittiness. The tortillas roll better if they’re warmed slightly. Fruit is the star, so choose what’s ripe and sweet. If you need fruit inspiration, peek at these simple fruit salad ideas that pair beautifully with the creamy filling.
One more note: if your fruit is extra juicy, set it on paper towels first. Moisture is the sneaky enemy of tidy roll-ups.

Step-by-step Instructions for Making Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups
Make the filling
1. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add powdered sugar, vanilla, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Beat again until fluffy. Fold in the yogurt until silky and spreadable. You want it thick enough to hold its shape but not stiff.
Assemble and roll
2. Warm a tortilla in a dry skillet for 10 to 15 seconds per side just to make it pliable. Let it cool a moment so the filling doesn’t melt.
3. Spread a generous layer of cheesecake filling over the tortilla, leaving about a half inch clear at the edges.
4. Scatter fruit evenly. Don’t pile it too high or the tortilla will split. Smaller pieces make cleaner spirals if you plan to slice.
5. Roll tightly from one side to the other, like you’re making a burrito. If you want pinwheels, wrap the roll in plastic and chill for 20 to 30 minutes, then slice with a sharp knife. If you want handheld rolls, slice in half on the diagonal and serve right away.
Finish and serve
6. Dust with a little powdered sugar, drizzle with honey, or add a few mini chocolate chips on top for fun. Serve cold. The filling sets a bit more as it chills, which I personally love.
“Made these for a brunch and my friends asked where I bought them. The texture is spot on creamy and the fruit makes them feel fresh. Zero leftovers.”
Once you master the method, you’ll see why I call them Delicious Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll-Ups You’ll Crave! They’re very forgiving, and you can prep the filling ahead for even faster assembly.
Tips for Perfect Cheesecake Fruit Salad Roll Ups
– Keep the filling thick. If it gets too loose, chill it for 10 minutes or add a spoon of cream cheese.
– Dry the fruit. Pat berries with paper towels, especially strawberries and peaches.
– Roll tight, then chill. A short chill helps the slices keep that pretty spiral.
– Use fresh tortillas. Stale or dry tortillas crack. Warm them briefly to help them flex.
– Add texture thoughtfully. A sprinkle of crushed graham crackers inside adds cheesecake vibes without overpowering the fruit.
– Make it ahead. Roll and wrap the night before, then slice before serving. If you’re curious to branch out, try mini treats like berry swirl cheesecake bites for another quick dessert win.

Common Questions
Can I make these gluten free?
Yes. Use gluten free tortillas or wraps. Everything else in the filling is naturally gluten free. Just confirm your toppings if you add cookies or crackers.
How long do they keep?
They’re best the day you make them, but you can store them wrapped in the fridge for up to 24 hours. If using very juicy fruit, slice right before serving.
Can I use frozen fruit?
I don’t recommend it. Frozen fruit releases a lot of liquid and makes the roll-ups soggy. Stick to fresh berries or fruit that’s firm and ripe.
What if my filling is too runny?
Chill the bowl for 10 to 15 minutes or beat in a little more cream cheese. You want a spreadable but stable texture.
How do I keep the roll from unwrapping?
Roll it tight and place seam side down while it chills. You can also secure with toothpicks if transporting to a party.
