Description

This Strawberry Shortcake Sushi Roll Dessert transforms the classic shortcake into a fun, no-bake sushi-style treat! Fluffy sponge cake is rolled with sweet cream cheese filling, whipped cream, and juicy strawberries for a dessert that’s as stunning as it is delicious.


Ingredients

  • 1 sponge cake sheet (approx. 10×15 inches, homemade or store-bought)
  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) strawberry preserves or jam
  • Optional: white chocolate drizzle, extra whipped cream, mint leaves for garnish


Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
  2. Fold in the whipped cream gently until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Place the sponge cake sheet on a piece of parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of strawberry preserves or jam evenly across the surface.
  4. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly over the jam layer, leaving a small border along one short edge to prevent overflow when rolling.
  5. Scatter diced strawberries evenly over the cream layer.
  6. Using the parchment paper to help, roll the cake tightly from one short side to the other, forming a sushi-style roll. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  7. Once chilled, slice the roll into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife. Arrange on a platter and drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
  8. Garnish with whipped cream and mint leaves before serving. Enjoy your elegant strawberry shortcake sushi bites!

Notes

  • For best results, chill the roll before slicing to maintain clean edges.
  • Try adding a thin layer of white chocolate ganache inside the roll for a richer twist.
  • Use different fruits like raspberries, peaches, or blueberries for a variation.
