Description
Delicate crepes filled with a light strawberry-cheesecake mixture and buttery cookie crumbs, chilled and sliced into elegant, no-bake dessert rolls.
Ingredients
8 oz cream cheese, softened
¼ cup granulated sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
1 cup diced fresh strawberries
2 Tbsp granulated sugar (for berries)
1½ cups crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers
¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
6 large prepared crepes (about 9 in/23 cm each)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- In a bowl, beat cream cheese, ¼ cup sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
- Whip heavy cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into cream-cheese mixture to create cheesecake filling.
- Toss strawberries with 2 Tbsp sugar; let sit 10 minutes, then drain excess juice.
- Combine crushed cookies with melted butter until evenly moistened.
- Lay a crepe flat; spread a thin layer of cheesecake filling, sprinkle cookie crumbs, and top with macerated strawberries.
- Roll crepe tightly, wrap in plastic wrap, and repeat with remaining crepes.
- Refrigerate wrapped rolls at least 1 hour to firm up.
- Unwrap and slice each roll into 1″ pieces; dust with powdered sugar and serve chilled.
