Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Base:
- 2 cups vanilla sandwich cookies, crushed
- 6 tablespoons (85 grams) unsalted butter, melted
Cheesecake Filling:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup (60 grams) powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy cream
Additional Ingredients:
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
- 1/4 cup strawberry preserves
- 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Transform vanilla sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor, creating a uniform texture.
- Combine cookie crumbs with melted butter, mixing until the mixture resembles damp sand-like consistency.
- Lay parchment paper flat and spread the buttery crumb mixture into a thin, uniform layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whip cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until achieving a silky, smooth texture.
- Separately whip heavy cream until stiff, glossy peaks form, indicating proper aeration.
- Gently fold whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, creating a light, airy filling with delicate consistency.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly across the prepared cookie base, maintaining a consistent thickness.
- Distribute finely chopped strawberries across the cream cheese layer, followed by a delicate drizzle of strawberry preserves.
- Utilize parchment paper to carefully roll the dessert into a compact cylindrical shape, applying gentle, consistent pressure.
- Tightly encase the roll in plastic wrap, sealing edges to prevent moisture loss.
- Refrigerate for minimum 2 hours, allowing the roll to set and flavors to meld.
- Remove from refrigerator and slice into elegant, bite-sized pieces resembling sushi rolls.
- Finish by drizzling melted white chocolate over the rolls, creating an artistic and appetizing presentation.
Notes
- Crush cookies thoroughly to create a smooth, compact base that holds together well during rolling.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a silky, lump-free filling that blends seamlessly.
- Chill the roll completely before slicing to maintain clean, precise sushi-style cuts.
- Consider using gluten-free cookies for a celiac-friendly version of this dessert.
