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 Crumb
- 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
Others
- 6 large crepes or thin cake layers
Instructions
- Prepare the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with 1/4 cup granulated sugar and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream to keep the filling light and fluffy.
- Make the strawberry filling: Toss the diced fresh strawberries with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to draw out natural juices and sweeten the fruit.
- Create the shortcake crumb: In a bowl, combine the crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers with the melted unsalted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and can hold together when pressed.
- Assemble the rolls: Lay out a crepe on a flat surface. Spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling over the crepe, followed by a sprinkling of the shortcake crumb and some of the sugared strawberries. Carefully roll up the crepe tightly from one end to the other.
- Chill and serve: Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour to set. Once chilled, slice each roll into 1-inch pieces and serve chilled for a fresh and creamy dessert experience.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries to ensure maximum sweetness and flavor.
- Shortbread cookies add a buttery crunch, but graham crackers are a great substitute if unavailable.
- If crepes are not available, very thin cake layers or pancakes can be used as an alternative.
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in the cheesecake filling.
- The rolls can be prepared a day ahead and stored wrapped in the refrigerator overnight for convenience.
