Celestial Strawberry Bliss Rolls – A Heavenly Fusion of Cheesecake, Shortcake, and Berry Delight!
📋 Ingredients:
For the Cheesecake Filling:
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (240ml) heavy whipping cream
For the Strawberries:
1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
For the Shortcake Crumbs:
1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
For Assembly:
6 large crepes or thin cake layers
Powdered sugar, for dusting
📝 Instructions:
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
Macerate the Strawberries:
In a bowl, combine the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar. Let sit for about 10 minutes to release their juices.
Make the Shortcake Crumbs:
In a bowl, mix the crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers with melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand.
Assemble the Rolls:
Lay a crepe or thin cake layer flat on a clean surface.
Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling evenly over the crepe.
Sprinkle a layer of shortcake crumbs on top.
Arrange a line of the macerated strawberries along one edge of the crepe.
Carefully roll the crepe tightly, starting from the strawberry edge to form a roll.
Repeat with the remaining crepes and fillings.
Chill the Rolls:
Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow them to set.
Serve:
Unwrap the chilled rolls and slice them into bite-sized pieces (like sushi rolls).
Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Enjoy your Celestial Strawberry Bliss Rolls – a delightful, layered dessert that transforms every bite into a heavenly experience of creamy cheesecake, tender shortcake, and succulent strawberry bliss!
