Step-by-Step Overview

Ingredients

• 10 slices white bread, crusts removed
• 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted

Directions

1. Start by preparing your workspace. Remove the crusts from the bread slices to make them easier to roll.
2. Use a rolling pin to flatten each slice of bread completely. You want a thin, uniform surface for easy rolling.
3. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
4. Spread about 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture evenly on each flattened bread slice. Make sure to spread it all the way to the edges.
5. Carefully roll up each bread slice tightly, making sure to fully enclose the cream cheese filling. Press gently to seal the edges.
6. In a separate bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together until well combined.
7. Prepare another bowl with the melted butter, which will help the cinnamon sugar stick to the rollups.
8. Dip each rollup in the melted butter to coat it completely, then roll it in the cinnamon sugar mixture for even coverage.
9. Place the coated rollups on a baking sheet and refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This helps to firm up the rollups and enhance the flavors.
