Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls


  • Author: WAFA LI

Ingredients

Scale

For the rolls:

  • 2 (8 oz) tubes refrigerated crescent roll dough
  • 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1½ cups fresh strawberries, finely chopped & patted dry
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar (for macerating berries)

For the glaze:

  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 12 tbsp milk or cream
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Optional garnish:

  • Extra diced strawberries
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Prep berries: Toss chopped strawberries with 1 tbsp sugar. Let sit 10 minutes, then drain excess liquid and pat dry with paper towels.
  2. Make filling: Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  3. Assemble rolls:
    • Unroll crescent dough onto a clean surface. Pinch seams together to form two 12×8″ rectangles.
    • Spread half the cream cheese mixture evenly over each rectangle, leaving a ½” border.
    • Sprinkle with drained strawberries.
    • Roll tightly from the long side into a log. Pinch seam to seal.
  4. Cut & bake: Slice each log into 6 even rolls (12 total). Place cut-side up on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 14–16 minutes, until golden brown.
  6. Cool 10 minutes on pan.
  7. Glaze: Whisk powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla until smooth. Drizzle over warm rolls.
  8. Garnish with extra strawberries or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.
💡 Pro Tips:
Pat strawberries dry thoroughly—excess moisture makes the dough soggy.
– For extra flakiness, brush rolls with melted butter before baking.
– Serve warm or at room temperature—they’re best fresh!
