Chef's notes

Chef's Notes & Tips

Tip 1 of 3

To ensure the cream cheese layer doesn't melt away during baking, keep it slightly chilled before spreading, and freeze the rolled log for 10 minutes before slicing to keep the swirl defined.

Tip 2 of 3

Do not over-bake; the rolls are done when the tops are golden and the internal temperature reaches 190°F (88°C).

Tip 3 of 3

For the best flavor, use freshly grated carrots rather than pre-shredded bags, which are too dry.
