Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I make these roll-ups ahead of time?

You can make these up to 24 hours in advance. Keep them wrapped tightly in plastic and refrigerated until serving.

→ Why does the cream cheese need to be room temperature?

Room temperature cream cheese spreads easily and rolls without breaking. Cold cream cheese can crack and be difficult to shape.

→ What can I use instead of green peppers?

Try cucumber strips, julienned carrots, or pickled vegetables. Any crunchy vegetable cut into thin strips will work well.

→ How do I prevent the roll-ups from getting soggy?

Pat vegetables dry before using and wrap tightly in plastic wrap. Slice just before serving for best results.

→ How long do these keep in the refrigerator?

The roll-ups stay fresh for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. The texture is best within the first 24 hours.
