Ingredients
Scale
Dairy and Cream:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) unsalted butter, melted
Sweeteners and Flavoring:
- 1/4 cup (50 grams) granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons (25 grams) granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Fruits and Crumb Base:
- 1 cup (150 grams) fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 1/2 cups (180 grams) crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
- 6 large crepes or thin cake layers
Instructions
- Blend softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and pure vanilla extract until velvety and uniform, using an electric mixer at medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
- Whip chilled heavy cream in a separate bowl until stiff, glossy peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes using clean beaters.
- Gently fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture, creating a light, airy filling with smooth consistency.
- Dice fresh strawberries and sprinkle with fine sugar, allowing fruit to release natural juices and develop deeper sweetness for 10 minutes.
- Crush graham crackers or vanilla wafers into fine crumbs, then mix thoroughly with melted butter until texture resembles moist sand.
- Lay crepe flat, spread cream cheese mixture evenly, leaving small border around edges.
- Distribute macerated strawberries and cookie crumbs across crepe surface.
- Roll crepe tightly into compact cylindrical shape, ensuring filling remains enclosed.
- Wrap each roll individually in plastic film, preventing moisture loss.
- Refrigerate rolls for minimum 60 minutes to set and enhance flavor melding.
- Slice chilled rolls into elegant 1-inch segments using sharp knife.
- Dust presentation plate and roll surfaces with delicate layer of powdered sugar before serving.
Notes
- Enhance Cream Cheese Smoothness Use room temperature cream cheese to prevent lumps and ensure a silky, uniform filling.
- Whip Cream Technique Chill mixing bowl and whisk beforehand for faster, more stable whipped cream with better volume.
- Strawberry Maceration Tip Allow strawberries to release natural juices by adding sugar, which intensifies their sweetness and creates a syrupy texture.
- Rolling Technique Use a gentle but firm touch when rolling crepes to keep filling compact and prevent tearing, ensuring neat, professional-looking rolls.
