Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
For the Strawberry Layer:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Shortcake Crust:
- 1 cup crushed shortbread cookies
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For Assembly:
- 1 large flour tortilla (or a large thin crepe)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
- Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Macerate the Strawberries: In a small bowl, mix the sliced strawberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice. Let sit for 10 minutes until they release their juices.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese in a large bowl until smooth. Add sugar and vanilla extract, mixing well. Gently fold in the whipped cream until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Make the Shortcake Crust: In a small bowl, combine crushed shortbread cookies and melted butter. Spread the mixture out on parchment paper and press it down to form a loose crust.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay your flour tortilla (or crepe) flat. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border. Layer the macerated strawberries over the cheesecake, then sprinkle the shortcake crust mixture on top.
- Roll and Slice: Roll the tortilla tightly, starting from one end. Slice the roll into bite-sized pieces, just like sushi.
- Serve: Arrange the rolls on a platter, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
Notes
- You can swap the flour tortilla for a thin crepe for a sweeter version.
- Chill the roll for 10 minutes before slicing for cleaner cuts.
- Feel free to substitute strawberries with other fruits like blueberries or raspberries.
