Ingredients

Scale

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced

Cake Base

  • 810 slices strawberry cake or pound cake, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in whipped cream to achieve a light, airy texture. Optionally, mix in lemon zest for extra freshness.
  2. Prepare the Cake Base: Lay out the cake slices evenly on parchment paper or a clean surface, ensuring the edges are straight to facilitate rolling. The cake should be soft but firm enough to hold together when rolled.
  3. Slice Fresh Strawberries: Wash and thinly slice fresh strawberries lengthwise into uniform pieces to ensure even distribution inside the roll.
  4. Assemble the Rolls: Spread an even layer of cheesecake filling over the cake slices, leaving a small border on one edge. Arrange the strawberry slices in a single layer on top of the filling. Carefully roll the cake up like sushi, pressing gently to keep it tight.
  5. Chill and Slice: Wrap the rolled cake tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to firm up. After chilling, slice into bite-sized pieces using a sharp knife and arrange on a serving plate for presentation.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth, lump-free filling.
  • Slice strawberries thinly to maintain neatness and prevent breakage.
  • Chill the roll before slicing to achieve cleaner cuts and help it hold together.
  • Select fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and bright appearance.
  • Slice cake thin and evenly to create a flexible yet sturdy wrapper for rolling.
