Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened (for a creamy base)
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar (adds sweetness)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (enhances the flavor)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (for a light, fluffy texture)
For the Strawberry Filling:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced (for a fruity burst)
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar (to sweeten the strawberries)
For the Shortcake Crumb Layer:
- 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers (for a crunchy texture)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted (binds the crumbs)
For Assembly:
- 6 large crepes or thin cake layers (store-bought or homemade)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting and garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare the Strawberry Filling:
- In a small bowl, toss the diced strawberries with 2 tbsp granulated sugar. Let sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
- Make the Shortcake Crumb Layer:
- In a medium bowl, combine the crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers with the melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated.
- Assemble the Rolls:
- Lay a crepe or thin cake layer flat on a clean surface.
- Spread a thin layer of the cheesecake filling over the crepe.
- Sprinkle a layer of the shortcake crumbs over the cheesecake filling.
- Place a line of the sweetened strawberries near one edge of the crepe.
- Carefully roll the crepe tightly, starting from the edge with the strawberries.
- Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
- Chill the Rolls:
- Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Slice and Serve:
- Unwrap the rolls and slice them into 1-inch pieces.
- Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
