How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Sushi Rolls
Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Golden Oreos (For the base crust.)
- 4 tbsp melted butter (To bind the crust.)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (Make sure it is at room temperature.)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar (For sweetness.)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (For flavor.)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream (To give the cheesecake a light texture.)
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries (For the filling.)
- 1/2 cup strawberry preserves or jam (To add more strawberry flavor.)
- Extra crushed Golden Oreos for coating (For the crunchy outer layer.)
- To taste whipped cream and additional strawberries for garnish (Optional, for serving.)
Directions
-
Preparation: Start by preparing the base crust. Mix the crushed Golden Oreos with the melted butter until well combined. Press this mixture into the bottom of a rectangular dish to form an even layer. Refrigerate it while you prepare the cheesecake mixture.
-
Cheesecake Mixture: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well blended. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture. Finally, stir in the diced strawberries and strawberry preserves.
-
Assembly: Once your crust has set, spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the crust. Using a spatula, smooth the top. Now, roll the dessert carefully, starting from one end, just like making sushi. Once rolled, cover in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.
-
Finish and Serve: After chilling, remove the roll from the fridge and unwrap it. Roll the cheesecake sushi in extra crushed Golden Oreos for a crunchy outer layer. Slice into bite-sized pieces and serve with whipped cream and additional strawberries if you like.
