Use Softened Cream Cheese
When making pinwheels, especially those with a creamy filling, using softened cream cheese can make a big difference. It blends more easily with other ingredients, ensuring a smooth, even spread.
Chill Before Slicing
Refrigerating your rolled-up pinwheels for at least 30 minutes before slicing helps them hold their shape. This makes for cleaner cuts and more attractive presentations.
Experiment with Fillings
Don’t be afraid to get creative with your pinwheel fillings. Mix and match your favorite ingredients to create new flavor combinations. The possibilities are endless!
