Looking for a quick dessert that’s guaranteed to be a crowd pleaser? Try my cranberry cheese roll-ups. Made from 6 simple ingredients, these cranberry cheese roll-ups come together in under 20 minutes and are so delicious.
I love this recipe because it comes together so quickly and yet feels very elegant. Plus, the cheese and cranberry mixture tastes so good together with the flaky, buttery dough. Once you get that first bite, you can really taste the tartness from the cranberries and orange zest. It goes so well with the creamy and slightly sweet cheese filling. Combined with the buttery, flaky dough drizzled with honey, and this is one Healthyish dessert! It almost reminds me of a cranberry cheese danish, but much easier to prepare and make.
I don’t know about you guys, but there is something about cranberries that just make me feel like the holidays are in full effect. Maybe it’s their color or their delicious flavor, but they always feel so fun and festive. So, give this delicious and easy dessert recipe a try! You’ll be so glad you did.
