Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries diced
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted
  • 6 large crepes or thin cake layers
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions
 

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  • In a small bowl, combine the diced strawberries with 2 tablespoons sugar. Let them sit for 10 minutes to release their juices.
  • Mix the crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers with melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand.
  • Lay one crepe flat on a clean surface.
  • Spread a layer of cheesecake filling evenly across the crepe.
  • Sprinkle a generous amount of cookie crumb mixture over the filling.
  • Add a layer of the macerated strawberries.
  • Carefully roll the crepe tightly into a log, similar to sushi rolls.
  • Repeat with the remaining crepes and filling.
  • Wrap each roll tightly in plastic wrap.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Remove from the refrigerator and slice into 1-inch rounds.
  • Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Graham crackers can be substituted for shortbread cookies.
  • Blueberries, raspberries, or peaches work beautifully in place of strawberries.
  • For a richer flavor, use mascarpone cheese in place of part of the cream cheese.
  • Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
  • Excellent for brunches, birthdays, baby showers, and summer gatherings.
