Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Filling Mix

01 - 1 teaspoon vanilla essence
02 - 1/4 cup white sugar
03 - 8 oz softened cream cheese
04 - 1 cup chilled whipping cream

→ Strawberry Topping

05 - 2 tablespoons sugar
06 - 1 cup diced fresh strawberries

→ Assembly Items

07 - 1/4 cup butter, melted
08 - 1 1/2 cups crushed graham crackers or shortbread cookies
09 - Powdered sugar for sprinkling
10 - 6 thin cake layers or crepes

# Instructions:

01 - Blend softened cream cheese, white sugar, and vanilla until silky smooth. In another bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese blend.
02 - Toss strawberries with sugar and let sit for about 10 minutes so they soften and release juices.
03 - Combine melted butter with crushed cookies until it feels like moist sand.
04 - Spread filling, add cookie crumbs, and top with strawberries onto a crepe. Tightly roll into a sushi-style log.
05 - Wrap logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. Cut into 1-inch slices and lightly sprinkle with powdered sugar before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Make sure everything is well chilled for neat slices.
02 - Both graham crackers and shortbread cookies work for the crumb layer.
