CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE ROLL-UPS RECIPE - (4.4/5)



Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by lisapearce

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 (16-ounce) loaf thinly sliced white bread, crusts removed
1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup confectioners sugar
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3/4 cup butter, melted

Steps:

  • Flatten bread with a rolling-pin. In a bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners' sugar. In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside. Spread about 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture on each slice of bread. Roll up, jelly roll style. Dip in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar. Place on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until golden brown. Good warm or cold.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect crack sticks, start with a good quality, firm cheese. Cheddar, Parmesan, or a blend of the two are all great options.
  • Use cold, unsalted butter. This will help the cheese stick together and prevent it from becoming greasy.
  • Grate the cheese finely. This will help it distribute evenly throughout the dough and prevent the sticks from becoming crumbly.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough and the sticks will be difficult to shape.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the dough firm up and make it easier to handle.
  • Bake the sticks on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. This will prevent them from sticking to the pan and make cleanup a breeze.
  • Serve the crack sticks warm with your favourite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Crack sticks are a delicious and versatile snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a quick and easy snack.
