- Fresh Strawberries (ripe and sweet)
- Whipped Cream (homemade or ready-made)
- Cream Cheese (softened)
- Powdered Sugar
- Vanilla Extract
- Optional Toppings: Sprinkles, crushed cookies, or chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Prepare the Sponge Cake: Bake a thin vanilla sponge cake and let it cool completely, or trim a store-bought cake to a rectangular shape.
- Make the Cream Filling: Beat softened cream cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth. Fold in whipped cream gently.
- Slice the Strawberries: Wash, hull, and slice strawberries into thin pieces.
- Assemble the Roll: Lay the sponge cake flat on a rolling mat or parchment paper. Spread a thin layer of cream filling across the cake, leaving a small border on one side.
- Add the Strawberries: Arrange strawberry slices evenly over the cream filling.
- Roll It Up: Using the mat or parchment paper, carefully roll the cake into a tight log. Seal the edge by pressing gently.
- Chill the Roll: Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Slice and Serve: Slice the roll into sushi-sized pieces using a sharp knife. Garnish with optional toppings like sprinkles or crushed cookies.
Notes
Use ripe strawberries for the best flavor. Chill the roll before slicing for clean cuts. Experiment with garnishes like chocolate drizzle or crushed cookies.
