Ingredients for Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls

Here’s a quick glance at what you’ll need:

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Macerate the Strawberries
In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar. Let sit for at least 15 minutes until juicy.

2. Make the Cheesecake Filling
In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.

3. Prepare the Crust Mixture
Mix crushed cookies or graham crackers with melted butter. Set aside.

4. Assemble the Rolls
Lay out one crepe or cake layer. Spread a thin layer of cheesecake filling, then spoon over some macerated strawberries and sprinkle with cookie crumbs. Roll up gently but firmly.

5. Chill
Place the rolled crepes seam-side down on a plate. Chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours to firm up.

6. Serve
Dust with powdered sugar. Slice and serve chilled.

Chef’s Tips

• Swap the shortbread: You can use vanilla wafers or ladyfingers if shortbread isn’t available.
• Make it chocolate: Add a drizzle of white chocolate ganache for an extra indulgent finish.
• Add lemon zest to the filling for a citrusy pop.

FAQs

Can I make Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls ahead of time?
Yes! These rolls can be made a day in advance. Just keep them covered and chilled.

Can I use frozen strawberries?
Fresh is best for texture, but if you only have frozen, thaw and drain them first to avoid soggy rolls.

What’s the best way to roll them?
Start at one edge, roll gently, and use plastic wrap to keep the shape tight during chilling.
