Recipe for Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Dessert Sushi Rolls
Ingredients:
- 1 cup heavy cream 🥛
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened 🧀
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar 🍚
- 1 tsp vanilla extract 🍦
- 10-12 fresh strawberries, hulled 🍓
- 1 prepared pound cake or sponge cake, sliced thin 🍰
- Red food coloring (optional) 🌈
- Crushed strawberry-flavored candy or sprinkles for garnish 🍬
Instructions:
1️⃣ Prepare the Filling:
In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until fully combined. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy. 🍥
2️⃣ Assemble the Rolls:
Lay out the thin slices of pound cake or sponge cake on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the cake slices. Place fresh strawberries in a line along one edge of each slice. 🍰🍓
3️⃣ Roll the Cake:
Carefully roll the cake slices, starting from the edge with the strawberries, to form a sushi roll shape. Press gently to ensure they hold together. If desired, tint any remaining cream cheese mixture with red food coloring and drizzle it over the top of the rolls. 🌯🌸
4️⃣ Garnish and Serve:
Sprinkle the rolls with crushed strawberry-flavored candy or sprinkles. Slice each roll into bite-sized pieces, like sushi, and garnish with additional strawberries. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to enjoy. 🍓🍬
