Ingredients
Scale
- Vanilla Cake (store-bought sponge cake, angel food cake, or homemade)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese
- 1 cup (120 g) powdered sugar
- 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1 cup (150 g) fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, whipped into soft peaks
- Optional toppings: chocolate drizzle, crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar
Instructions
- Prepare the cake base: If using homemade cake, bake it in a large jelly roll pan and let it cool completely. If using store-bought cake, slice it into thin, even layers that are easy to roll.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined.
- Prepare the strawberries: Wash and thinly slice fresh strawberries. Pat them dry to remove any excess moisture.
- Assemble the rolls: Lay a piece of plastic wrap or a sushi rolling mat on your work surface. Place the cake layer on top and spread an even layer of the cheesecake filling over it. Arrange the strawberry slices in a single layer on the filling.
- Roll the sushi: Using the plastic wrap or sushi mat, gently roll the cake into a log shape, ensuring it’s tight but not overly compressed. Refrigerate the roll for at least 1 hour to firm up before slicing.
- Slice into rolls: Carefully unwrap the roll and use a sharp knife to cut it into 1-inch thick slices. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat slices.
- Add your toppings: Drizzle melted chocolate, sprinkle crushed graham crackers, or dust with powdered sugar for an extra touch of flavor and decoration.
Notes
[‘Keep your hands slightly damp to prevent sticking while rolling.’, ‘Let the roll chill for at least an hour to ensure it holds its shape when sliced.’, ‘Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor, or substitute with other fruits like mangoes or raspberries.’, ‘Use a sharp knife and clean it between cuts for neat slices.’, ‘Experiment with toppings like caramel drizzle or sea salt for added flavor.’]
