Cheesecake Filling
- Cream Cheese – 8 ounces, softened
- Powdered Sugar – 1/4 cup
- Vanilla Extract – 1 teaspoon
- Whipped Cream – 1/2 cup
Roll Base
- Sponge Cake Sheet – 1 large sheet (approx. 9×13 inches)
Filling & Topping
- Strawberries – 1 cup, sliced
- Additional Whipped Cream for garnish (optional)
- Powdered Sugar for dusting (optional)
- Crushed Graham Crackers for topping (optional)
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined to create a light, fluffy cheesecake mixture.
- Lay Out the Sponge Cake Sheet: Place the sponge cake sheet flat on a clean surface or on a bamboo sushi rolling mat lined with plastic wrap, ensuring the cake sheet is smooth and ready for filling.
- Spread the Filling Evenly: Using an offset spatula or the back of a spoon, evenly spread the cheesecake filling thinly over the sponge cake sheet, leaving about a half-inch border around the edges to prevent overflow during rolling.
- Add Fresh Strawberries: Arrange the sliced strawberries in a single layer over the filling, focusing them toward one edge of the cake sheet to facilitate rolling.
- Roll and Chill: Starting from the strawberry-covered edge, carefully but firmly roll the sponge cake sheet into a tight sushi roll. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour to set and meld the flavors.
- Slice and Serve: After chilling, use a sharp knife dipped in hot water (wiped between slices) to cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Arrange on a serving plate and garnish as desired.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth, lump-free filling.
- Choose ripe but firm strawberries to avoid sogginess inside the roll.
- Chill the roll thoroughly to ensure it holds its shape and slices cleanly.
- Keep your slicing knife warm and clean between cuts for perfectly neat pieces.
- Roll gently but firmly to maintain layers without squeezing out the filling.
