Ham and Pickle Pinwheels is one of the most favored of recent trending meals on earth. It is appreciated by millions every day. It’s simple, it’s quick, it tastes yummy. They are nice and they look wonderful. Ham and Pickle Pinwheels is something that I have loved my entire life.

To get started with this recipe, we must prepare a few ingredients. You can have ham and pickle pinwheels using 5 ingredients and 6 steps. Here is how you can achieve that.
The ingredients needed to make Ham and Pickle Pinwheels:
- Prepare 2 8oz packages cream cheese - softened (low fat or fat free is fine)
- Prepare 16 dill pickle spears (your fave brand)
- Take 16 slice ham lunch meat (rectangular slices work best, like Great Value brand "cooked ham")
- Get Prep
- Prepare 1 roll of paper towels
It's a quick and easy make ahead recipe that can be easily finished up right before serving. You really do want to try to use rectangular ham slices. If you can't find any, at least use a thicker cut brand. Pickle roll ups with ham are perfect for lunchboxes, too.
Steps to make Ham and Pickle Pinwheels:
- Set out cream cheese to soften to room temperature (I usually leave out a few hours). When you're ready to make, cut each 8 oz block into 8 equal squares.
- At least 30 minutes in advance: To absorb excess moisture. Line pickles in a single layer, a couple inches apart on a small stack of paper towels. Place a few more paper towels on top, press gently. Place two slices of ham side by side on another stack of paper towels, place a layer of paper towels on top, followed by two more slices of ham. Repeat process until all ham is layered between paper towels.
- Working one at a time place a slice of ham on a cutting board or plate. Using a butter knife or off-set spatula, spread the cream cheese evenly over the slice of ham. Begin at one end working toward the other end, leaving about 1/4 in. cream cheese free to accommodate spreading as you roll.
- Place a pickle across the width of the cream cheese covered ham at the end where cream cheese meets the edge. Roll up semi-tightly, careful to not squeeze cream cheese out the edges or rip ham. Repeat process until all 16 are rolled.
- Stack rollups on a plate as you finish each one. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 2 hours, or up to over night, to set.
- Just before serving, remove from refrigerator, cut each rollup into 1/2 in. slices to make your pinwheels. Layer on a serving platter. Serve, eat, enjoy and watch them disappear!
I'm always happy when I see a platter of pickle roll-ups or tortilla pinwheels at parties. Pinwheels are the perfect bite-sized appetizer: you can make them ahead, they are easy to transport, look kind of cool, and taste great. Spread softened cream cheese in thin layer on ham slices. Place a pickle on the end of each ham and cream cheese slice. Set out cream cheese to soften to room temperature (I usually leave out a few hours).
