- ¼ cup 50g granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup 240ml heavy whipping cream
For the Assembly:
- 1 cup 150g fresh strawberries, diced

- ¼ cup 55g unsalted butter, melted
- 8 –10 crepes or thin cake layers store-bought or homemade

Instructions
Prepare the Cream Cheese Filling
- In a mixing bowl, I beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with ¼ cup sugar and 1 tsp vanilla until smooth and lump-free for a creamy strawberry cheesecake rolls base.
Whip the Cream
- In a clean bowl, I whip 1 cup heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture, keeping it light and airy for this sweet strawberry roll.
Prepare the Strawberries
- I dice 1 cup fresh strawberries and toss with 1 tbsp sugar, letting them sit for 10 minutes to release juices for a flavorful fruity cheesecake roll.
Mix the Cookie Crust
- In a bowl, I combine 1 cup crushed cookies with ¼ cup melted butter until it resembles wet sand, creating a crunchy layer for these strawberry cheesecake rolls.
Assemble the Rolls
- I lay out a crepe, spread a thin layer of cream cheese filling, sprinkle with cookie crumbs, and add a spoonful of strawberries. I roll tightly like sushi, repeating for 8–10 crepes for these Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls.
Chill and Serve
- I wrap each roll in plastic wrap and chill for at least 1 hour to firm up. I slice into 1-inch pieces, dust with powdered sugar, and serve for a stunning sweet strawberry roll.
Notes
- Make sure to use fresh strawberries for the best flavor.
- You can substitute the shortbread cookies with graham crackers if desired.
- These rolls can be made a day in advance for convenience.
- Keep the rolls stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
