Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
Strawberry Filling
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Shortcake Crumbs
- 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Other
- 6 large crepes or thin cake layers
Instructions
- Prepare Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully incorporated, creating a light and fluffy cheesecake filling.
- Make Strawberry Filling: Toss the diced fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and let the mixture sit for 10 minutes. This releases the natural juices and sweetens the strawberries.
- Create Shortcake Crumbs: Combine the crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers with the melted unsalted butter, mixing until the crumbs are well coated and slightly sticky to hold together.
- Assemble Rolls: Spread a generous layer of cheesecake filling evenly over one crepe or cake layer. Sprinkle a layer of the shortcake crumbs atop the filling, then spoon an even layer of the sugared strawberries. Carefully roll the crepe tightly to encase the fillings.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap the rolled crepes tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for at least one hour to firm up. After chilling, slice the rolls into 1-inch pieces to serve as delightful bite-sized cheesecake roll treats.
Notes
- Use freshly whipped cream for best texture in the cheesecake filling.
- Letting the strawberries macerate enhances their flavor and juiciness.
- Shortbread cookies add a buttery richness; graham crackers are a suitable alternative.
- Chilling the rolls is essential to ensure clean slices and firm structure before serving.
- Can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the refrigerator.
