Ingredients and substitutions
- Tortilla – I like to use almond flour tortillas but you can use flour or other gluten free tortillas as well
- Cream cheese – I like to use chive flavored cream cheese but you may use whatever flavor you like. If you are dairy free, use dairy free cream cheese by brands like Kite Hill
- Raspberries – you can use frozen raspberries but it holds more moisture so I it causes it to be slightly soggy. I like to use fresh organic raspberries

How to make Cream Cheese Roll Ups
- On a piece of tortilla, spread cream cheese across the middle.
- Lay the raspberries evenly on top of the cream cheese spread.
- Holding one end of the tortilla, roll to the other end tightly. Add a tiny bit of cream cheese at the end of the roll so it acts as glue.
- Coat a pan with avocado oil spray and set on medium-high heat. Place roll in the pan and let it cook to a golden brown, about one minute. Flip then cook until the other side is brown.
- Remove from pan then slice into bite sized pieces. Enjoy.
How to serve and store
The cream cheese roll ups can be served by itself as a snack or as a light lunch for any of the other variations.
Store in an airtight glass container for up to 2 days in fridge. You may eat cold or can reheat over pan again, or in microwave for a few seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can you make this for meal prep? It comes together in less than 5 minutes that I do not think you need to batch make these cream cheese roll ups ahead of time. I also think it will get soggy from raspberries if made ahead of time.
- Can these be served cold or warm? Yes! I like to heat the roll ups used with almond flour tortillas but not the flour tortillas but I think that is just personal preference. Nevertheless, both ways are delicious!
- Can you freeze the roll ups? I would not recommend doing so because it will most likely be soggy when thawed.
