A sweet and decadent twist on a classic dessert!
These Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Dessert Sushi Rolls are a fun and delicious way to enjoy the flavors of strawberry shortcake in a new and exciting way. The combination of creamy cheesecake, sweet strawberries, and buttery cookie crumbs is simply irresistible.
Ingredients:
- 1 package vanilla sandwich cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling)
Instructions:
- Prepare the cookie base: Crush the vanilla sandwich cookies into fine crumbs in a food processor. Mix in the melted butter until the mixture resembles wet sand. Press the mixture into a thin, even layer on a piece of parchment paper.
- Make the cheesecake filling: In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
- Assemble the sushi rolls: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the cookie crust. Top with finely chopped strawberries and a drizzle of strawberry preserves. Carefully roll the cookie and cheesecake mixture into a log, using the parchment paper to help guide the roll.
- Chill and serve: Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to set. Once chilled, slice the roll into sushi-style pieces and drizzle with melted white chocolate.
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use graham cracker crumbs instead of vanilla sandwich cookies.
- You can also add other fruits like raspberries or blueberries to the filling.
- For a dairy-free option, use vegan cream cheese and whipped cream.
- These dessert sushi rolls make a great party appetizer or dessert.
