Instructions

🍥 Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Sushi Rolls!

Step 1: Bake the Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C). Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and sugar.

  3. In a separate bowl, beat eggs, vanilla, milk, and melted butter. Gradually combine with dry ingredients.

  4. Spread the batter evenly onto the baking sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, until the cake springs back when lightly pressed.

  5. Let the cake cool slightly, keeping it flexible for rolling.

Step 2: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together until smooth.

  2. Mix in vanilla extract and fold in whipped topping or whipped cream until fluffy.

Step 3: Macerate the Strawberries

  1. Dice strawberries finely.

  2. Optionally, sprinkle them with sugar and let them sit for 5–10 minutes to release natural juices.

Step 4: Assemble the Roll

  1. Spread an even layer of cheesecake filling over the cooled cake.

  2. Sprinkle diced strawberries over the filling.

  3. Carefully roll the cake from the short side using parchment paper for guidance.

  4. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30–40 minutes.

Step 5: Slice and Decorate

 

  1. Remove the chilled roll and coat the outside with crushed Golden Oreos.

  2. Top with whipped cream and extra strawberries.

  3. Slice into 1-inch pieces, wipe the knife between cuts, and serve!
