  4. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: These pinwheels taste even better after a few hours in the fridge. Make them the night before for the best flavor and texture.
  • Best Knife for Slicing: A serrated knife works best to cut clean pinwheels without squishing the filling.
  • Prevent Sogginess: Pat the cranberries dry before mixing, and avoid overfilling with cream cheese.
  • Serving Suggestion: Arrange in a circular pattern on a platter and garnish with fresh rosemary or a drizzle of honey for a festive touch.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Avoid freezing after slicing, as the tortillas may become too soft.
