Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 6 large crepes or thin cake layers
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
  • 1 package (8 ounces / 226 grams) cream cheese, softened

Filling and Binding Ingredients:

  • 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar (for macerating strawberries)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks

Crust and Coating Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup (57 grams) unsalted butter, melted
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Whip cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until velvety and uniform in texture, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Gently incorporate whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, folding delicately to maintain airiness.
  3. Prepare strawberries by dicing and sprinkling with sugar, allowing them to release natural juices for 10 minutes.
  4. Create a crumbly base by combining crushed shortbread with melted butter until it resembles coarse sand.
  5. Position crepe or thin cake layer flat, spreading cheesecake filling evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around edges.
  6. Sprinkle shortcake crumbs over filling, creating a textural layer across the surface.
  7. Distribute macerated strawberries in a linear pattern along one edge of the crepe.
  8. Carefully roll the crepe tightly, ensuring a compact and uniform cylindrical shape.
  9. Wrap the roll securely in plastic film to maintain structure and chill in refrigerator for minimum 1 hour.
  10. Remove plastic wrap and slice into elegant 1-inch medallions using a sharp knife.
  11. Dust rolls with powdered sugar just before serving for a delicate, elegant presentation.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for ultra-smooth, lump-free filling that blends effortlessly.
  • Macerate strawberries longer than 10 minutes to intensify their natural sweetness and create a more robust fruity flavor profile.
  • Use graham crackers as a gluten-free alternative to traditional shortbread cookies for those with dietary restrictions.
  • Chill rolls overnight for firmer texture and more pronounced flavor melding, allowing each ingredient to develop deeper taste complexity.
