Ingredients
- 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 (for strawberries)
- 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)
- 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 (for strawberries)
- 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
- Prepare the Filling: Beat the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Chill for about 30 minutes to firm up.
- Prepare the Berries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly. Slice them into small pieces, then toss with sugar and let them sit for 10 minutes. Pat excess moisture with paper towels to avoid sogginess.
- Prepare the Cookie Crumbs: Combine the crushed shortbread cookies (or graham crackers) with melted butter, mixing until the crumbs resemble wet sand.
- Assemble the Rolls: Lay the crepes flat, spread a thin layer of cheesecake filling, followed by an even layer of strawberries and a sprinkle of cookie crumbs. Roll the crepe tightly from one edge.
- Chill and Slice: Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Once chilled, slice into 1-inch pieces and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute crepes with thin slices of pound cake if preferred.
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free graham crackers or shortbread cookies.
- Serve the rolls chilled and dust with powdered sugar just before serving.
