Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Dessert Sushi Rolls 🍓🍰🍣

Ingredients:

For the Cheesecake Filling:

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup whipped cream (store-bought or homemade)
For the Strawberry Layer:

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and sliced thinly
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
For the Shortcake Crust:

1 cup crushed shortbread cookies
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
For Assembly:

1 large flour tortilla (or a large thin crepe for a sweeter version)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Fresh mint leaves, for garnish (optional)
Directions:

Prepare the Strawberry Layer:

In a bowl, combine the sliced strawberries with granulated sugar and lemon juice. Let sit for about 10 minutes to macerate and release their juices.
Prepare the Cheesecake Filling:

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Add granulated sugar and vanilla extract, and mix until well combined.
Gently fold in the whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
Prepare the Shortcake Crust:

In a small bowl, mix the crushed shortbread cookies with melted butter until combined.
Spread the mixture evenly over a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap, pressing it down slightly. Set aside.
Assemble the Dessert Sushi Rolls:

Lay the flour tortilla or crepe flat on a clean surface.
Spread a layer of cheesecake filling evenly over the tortilla, leaving a small border around the edges.
Arrange the macerated strawberries in a single layer over the cheesecake filling.
Sprinkle the shortcake crust mixture evenly over the strawberries.
Roll and Slice:

Carefully roll up the tortilla or crepe tightly, starting from one edge and working your way to the other.
Slice the rolled tortilla into bite-sized pieces, resembling sushi rolls.
Serve:

Arrange the dessert sushi rolls on a serving platter.
Dust with powdered sugar and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
