Ingredients
Roll Base
● 1 can refrigerated crescent roll dough or sweet roll dough
● 2 tbsp melted butter
Cheesecake Filling
● 8 oz cream cheese, softened
● ¼ cup granulated sugar
● 1 tsp vanilla extract
Strawberry Layer
● 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
● 2 tbsp sugar
● 1 tsp lemon juice
Shortcake Crumble
● ½ cup crushed vanilla cookies or shortbread
● 2 tbsp melted butter
Topping
● Whipped cream or cream cheese frosting
● Fresh strawberry slices
● Powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions1: Prep the Strawberries: Mix chopped strawberries with sugar and lemon juice. Let sit 10 minutes to release their juices, then lightly mash to create a soft, jammy texture.
2: Make the Cheesecake Filling: Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth, creamy, and lump-free.
3: Prepare the Dough: Roll dough into a rectangle on a lightly floured surface. Brush evenly with melted butter.
4: Layer the Goodness: Spread cheesecake filling evenly over the dough. Spoon the strawberry mixture across the top, then sprinkle with the cookie crumble.
5: Roll & Slice: Roll tightly from the long edge into a log. Slice into even rolls using a sharp knife.
6: Bake: Arrange in a greased baking dish and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 25–30 minutes until golden and baked through.
7: Decorate & Serve: Let cool slightly. Pipe whipped cream or frosting on top, garnish with fresh strawberry slices, and dust lightly with powdered sugar if desired.
Bake Time: 25–30 minutes Servings: 8–10 rolls
Pro TipChill the rolled log for 10 minutes before slicing — it makes cleaner cuts and keeps those beautiful strawberry swirls perfectly defined.
