Notes
- Soften the cream cheese. I like to put the cream cheese on the counter to soften before preparing the pinwheels.
- Slice the cucumber thin. Try to slice the cucumber as thin as possible. This makes it easier to roll them up.
- Refrigerate before slicing. This is an important step. It helps the pinwheels come together and makes them easier to slice.
