Description
These no-bake rolls combine strawberry shortcake and cheesecake flavors, making for a fun and fast dessert that’s great for parties.
Ingredients
- 2 cups store-bought shortcake or pound cake crumbs
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy cream, whipped (or 1 cup Cool Whip)
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1 sheet large plastic wrap or parchment paper
- Optional: powdered sugar or crushed shortcake for dusting
Instructions
- Mix the shortcake crumbs and melted butter until crumbs hold when pressed.
- Lay a large sheet of plastic wrap on the counter. Spread the crumb mix into a thin rectangle about 10×12 inches. Press firmly to compact.
- Beat the softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream gently until mixed.
- Remove a small part of the plastic wrap if needed. Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the crumb rectangle, leaving a small edge.
- Lay the thin strawberry slices in a line near one short edge of the rectangle.
- Using the plastic wrap, start rolling from the strawberry edge, rolling tightly but gently to keep shape.
- Wrap the roll well and place it in the fridge for at least 2 hours, or until firm.
- Unwrap and use a sharp knife to slice into 1-inch rounds. Wipe the knife between cuts for clean slices.
Notes
For best texture, store on a flat tray so slices do not squish.
