Dessert Friday: Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-ups

Pinspiration: http://pinterest.com/pin/185210603398433076/

I found myself with a block of cream cheese that was expiring soon and a half a loaf of bread that needed to be used up soon. So I decided to try out this recipe, because it looked easy and delicious.

I didn't get pictures of the whole process. In fact, I only got 2.



In the oven.


And on the plate.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Roll-Ups (I did half this recipe, but I'm listing it whole)

1 loaf (16 oz) thinly sliced white bread, crusts removed (I used Aunt Millie's 100% Whole Wheat)
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
3/4 c confectioners sugar
1 c sugar
1 1/2 t ground cinnamon
3/4 c butter, melted

1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. Flatten bread with a rolling-pin.
2. In a bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners’ sugar.
3. In another bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside.
4. Spread about 1 tablespoon of cheese mixture on each slice of bread.
5. Roll up, jelly roll style.
6. Dip in melted butter, then in cinnamon-sugar.
7. Place on an ungreased baking sheet.
8. Bake 20 minutes or until golden brown.

I refrigerated the ones I didn't eat right away and warmed them up before I ate them.

Review:

So delicious. A couple weeks after I made these, I went to a party where someone had brought them. Mine were better, but people scarfed hers down. So now I owe a couple of my friends a batch of mine.
