This easy, elegant treat is perfect for spring and summer gatherings, offering all the flavor of classic strawberry shortcake with a creamy cheesecake twist.

Ingredients

  • Cheesecake Filling:
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • Strawberry Layer:
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries, diced
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • Cookie Crumb Layer:
  • 1 cup crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • Assembly:
  • 68 large crepes or thin cake layers (store-bought or homemade)
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until light and fluffy.
  2. Macerate the Strawberries: Combine diced strawberries with sugar and let sit for 10 minutes to release juices.
  3. Make the Cookie Crumb Mixture: Combine crushed cookies and melted butter in a bowl until slightly cohesive.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Lay out a crepe. Spread a layer of cheesecake filling, sprinkle cookie crumbs, and top with strawberries. Roll tightly into a log. Repeat with remaining crepes.
  5. Chill and Set: Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  6. Slice and Serve: Slice into 1-inch rounds, dust with powdered sugar, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and fully chill rolls before slicing.
  • Use a sharp serrated knife for clean cuts.
  • Feel free to swap in other berries or gluten-free alternatives.
