Ingredients List
For the Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Dessert Sushi Rolls:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 1 cup cake crumbs (vanilla or sponge cake)
- 1/4 cup melted butter (for binding the cake crumbs)
- Additional strawberries or whipped cream for garnish (optional)
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- Prepare the Strawberries:
- Thinly slice the fresh strawberries and set them aside. These will be layered into the rolls for a burst of fruity flavor.
- Make the Cake Layer:
- In another bowl, combine the cake crumbs with the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. This will form the outer layer of the sushi rolls.
- Assemble the Sushi Rolls:
- Lay out a sheet of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Spread the cake mixture evenly onto the plastic wrap, pressing it down firmly to create a solid layer.
- Spread the cheesecake filling over the cake layer, leaving a small border around the edges.
- Arrange the sliced strawberries evenly over the cheesecake layer.
- Carefully roll the dessert into a tight log using the plastic wrap to help shape it. Ensure the roll is tight and even to prevent it from falling apart.
- Chill and Slice:
- Place the rolled dessert in the refrigerator to chill for about 10-15 minutes, allowing it to firm up.
- Once chilled, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into even pieces, creating bite-sized sushi rolls.
- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with additional sliced strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
Additional Tips and Notes
- Perfect Presentation: To enhance the visual appeal, garnish each slice of the sushi rolls with a small piece of strawberry or a mint leaf. You can also dust them lightly with powdered sugar for a finishing touch.
- Keeping the Rolls Tidy: When slicing the sushi rolls, wipe your knife clean between each cut. This helps maintain clean, neat edges and prevents the filling from smearing.
- Serving Fresh: These dessert sushi rolls are best served fresh. If you need to make them ahead of time, store them properly to maintain their texture and flavor.
