Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut the bread slices into thin, even strips. This will help ensure that the pinwheels roll up neatly and evenly.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the bread slices. Be sure to leave a small border around the edges so that the cream cheese doesn't ooze out when you roll up the pinwheels.
  • Top the cream cheese mixture with the cranberries and nuts. Press them down gently so that they adhere to the cream cheese.
  • Roll up the bread slices tightly, starting from one of the long sides. Use a toothpick to secure the pinwheels if necessary.
  • Chill the pinwheels for at least 30 minutes before slicing. This will help them hold their shape and make them easier to cut.
  • When ready to serve, slice the pinwheels into 1-inch pieces. Arrange them on a platter and enjoy!
