Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Dessert Sushi Rolls 🍣🍓🍰
Ingredients:
Cheesecake Filling:
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup heavy whipping cream
Strawberry Filling:
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Shortcake Layer:
1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Rolls:
6 large crepes or thin cake layers (store-bought or homemade)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Directions:
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
In a small bowl, mix the diced strawberries with the granulated sugar. Let sit for about 10 minutes to allow the flavors to combine.
Prepare the Shortcake Layer:
In a medium bowl, mix the crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Assemble the Rolls:
Place a crepe or thin cake layer on a flat surface.
Spread a thin layer of the cheesecake filling evenly over the entire surface.
Sprinkle a portion of the shortcake layer over the cheesecake filling.
Spoon a line of the strawberry filling about 1 inch from the edge of the crepe or cake layer.
Carefully roll the crepe or cake layer tightly around the strawberry filling to form a sushi roll shape.
Repeat the process with the remaining crepes or cake layers and fillings.
Chill and Slice:
Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and use a sharp knife to slice each roll into 1-inch pieces.
Serve and Enjoy:
Arrange the rolls on a serving platter and dust with powdered sugar. Enjoy this fun, sushi-inspired dessert!
Tips:
For added flavor, drizzle the rolls with melted white chocolate before serving.
You can swap the strawberries for other fruits like raspberries or blueberries to mix things up.
