Ingredients

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)

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
