STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CHEESECAKE ROLLS


  • Author: Chef Clara

Description

Creamy cheesecake filling, juicy strawberries, and buttery cookie crumbs all wrapped inside tender crepes — this no-bake dessert is a showstopper that tastes like summer in every bite.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 6 large crepes or thin cake layers
  • Powdered sugar, for dusting


Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until light and airy.
  3. In another bowl, toss diced strawberries with sugar and let rest for 10 minutes to release juices.
  4. Combine crushed cookies with melted butter to form a crumb mixture that holds together when pressed.
  5. Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread a strip of cheesecake filling along one edge, top with cookie crumbs, then add strawberries.
  6. Roll tightly to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining crepes.
  7. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
  8. Slice into 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife and dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps.
  • Chill the rolls well to help them slice cleanly.
  • Substitute graham crackers with any cookie of choice for a flavor twist.
  • Use fresh, ripe strawberries for best flavor.
