Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 1 cup sweetened cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 1 cup whipped cream
Assembly
- 4-5 large flour tortillas
- 1 cup strawberries, sliced
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the sweetened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and confectioners’ sugar. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spread the Mixture on Tortillas: Lay out each flour tortilla on a flat surface. Evenly spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over the entire surface of each tortilla.
- Add Strawberries: Layer the sliced strawberries evenly over the cream cheese spread on each tortilla, ensuring good coverage.
- Sprinkle Graham Cracker Crumbs: Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs evenly over the strawberries to add a pleasant crunch and enhance the dessert flavor.
- Roll and Chill: Carefully roll each tortilla tightly into a log shape. Place the rolls in the refrigerator and chill for about 30 minutes to set and firm up the rolls.
- Slice and Serve: Remove the rolls from the refrigerator and slice them into sushi-sized pieces. Serve immediately with extra strawberries and whipped cream on the side for dipping or garnish.
Notes
- For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal sweetness and texture.
- You can substitute flour tortillas with gluten-free tortillas if needed.
- Be gentle when rolling to prevent the filling from spilling out.
- These sushi rolls are best served chilled, so keep them refrigerated until serving time.
- Add a drizzle of chocolate sauce or a sprinkle of powdered sugar as an optional garnish for extra flair.
