Valentine Jelly Roll Dessert

Guys, Valentine’s Day is a week away. Have you planned out your heart shaped and red colored meals? Or is that just me. I’ve got breakfast, dinner and dessert decided. Dessert is definitely the highlight with this yummy Jelly Roll Dessert! It is customizable to your sweetheart’s tastes and comes together quick.

My mother passed this recipe down to me, as one she used to make at her sister’s house all the time. The great part is the jelly and cream cheese filling. I used raspberry jelly, but if you want strawberry, grape, or another flavor go for it!

I love adding powdered sugar on top of desserts because it reminds me of the Boy Meets World episode where Topanga wants snow on her tree pancakes and Cory wants syrup. Haha any one else a Boy Meets World fan?

After the roll is ready, just slice it up and serve. Pair it with a nice glass of cold milk. Ahh! It is awesome. And then throw on a great Valentine Day Movie (I’ve got lots of ideas).

Plus, my friends are sharing there favorite Valentine’s Day Recipes too! Just keep scrolling down after the Jelly Roll Dessert recipe to see more!
