SWEET STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE CHEESECAKE ROLLS 🍓
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry or crescent dough
- 1/2 cup softened cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup diced fresh strawberries
- 1/4 cup crushed shortbread cookies or golden Oreos
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 tablespoon crushed freeze-dried strawberries optional
Optional Icing
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1-2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until it's smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the diced fresh strawberries.
- Unroll your puff pastry or crescent dough and separate it into rectangles if using crescent dough. Spread the creamy cheesecake and strawberry mixture evenly over each piece.
- Carefully roll each rectangle into a tight log, starting from one long edge. Then, slice each log into neat pinwheels, about 1 inch thick.
- Place the pinwheels onto your prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between them. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until they look beautifully golden brown.
- While the rolls are still warm, prepare your topping. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies, melted butter, and the optional freeze-dried strawberries. Sprinkle this yummy topping generously over the warm rolls.
- If you desire, whisk together the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla for an optional icing. Once the rolls have cooled slightly, drizzle this sweet icing over them before serving.
