Dill pickles are the most popular choice for ham and pickle pinwheels due to their tangy flavor. These are the type of pickles that we prefer for this recipe.
To keep the pinwheels from unrolling, make sure to spread the cream cheese evenly, which acts as a glue, and roll them tightly. Chilling them in the refrigerator for at least an hour before slicing can also help them hold their shape better.
Yes, you can make them ahead of time. Prepare the pinwheels, cover them tightly with plastic wrap, and store them in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours before serving. I prefer not to chill any longer than that due to the fact that these can get soggy after too long.
