To make a Cherry Cheesecake Pinwheel, you will need a can of crescent roll dough, cream cheese, sugar, vanilla extract, and cherry pie filling. First, roll out the crescent roll dough and press the seams together to create one large sheet. In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the crescent roll dough. Spoon the cherry pie filling on top of the cream cheese mixture. Roll up the dough tightly, starting from the long edge. Slice the roll into 1-inch thick pinwheels and place them on a baking sheet. Bake at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown. Enjoy!
Yes, you can substitute the cherry pie filling with any type of fruit filling you prefer. Some popular alternatives include blueberry, strawberry, or apple pie filling. You can also use fresh fruit, but make sure to chop it into small pieces before adding it to the pinwheel.
Yes, you can make the pinwheels ahead of time and freeze them for later use. After slicing the roll into pinwheels, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for about an hour. Once frozen, transfer them to a freezer-safe container or bag. When ready to bake, simply place the frozen pinwheels on a baking sheet and bake for an additional 5-7 minutes.
The Cherry Cheesecake Pinwheels will last for about 3-4 days in the fridge if stored in an airtight container. Make sure to let them cool completely before storing them in the fridge.
Yes, you can make the pinwheels without using the crescent roll dough. Instead, you can use puff pastry or even homemade dough. Just make sure to roll out the dough into a thin sheet before adding the cream cheese and filling.
