Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 3 eggs
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
Sweeteners and Binding Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies
Additional Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Prepare the oven at 350F (175C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even baking.
- Whisk eggs and granulated sugar vigorously until the mixture becomes pale and increases in volume, creating a light texture.
- Gently incorporate flour, baking powder, and salt into the egg mixture, using a folding technique to maintain airiness.
- Carefully blend milk and melted butter into the batter, ensuring a smooth and consistent mixture before spreading evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the thin cake layer for 10-12 minutes until lightly golden and springy to the touch.
- Immediately transfer the hot cake to a clean kitchen towel and carefully roll it up to cool, preventing cracking and creating a flexible base.
- Blend cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until perfectly smooth and creamy.
- Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then delicately fold into the cream cheese mixture to create a light, airy filling.
- Unroll the cooled cake carefully, spread the cheesecake filling evenly, and distribute fresh diced strawberries across the surface.
- Tightly roll the cake back up, ensuring an even distribution of filling and strawberries.
- Wrap the rolled cake in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour to set and enhance flavors.
- Before serving, garnish with crushed shortbread cookies for added texture and crunch.
Notes
- Whip eggs and sugar thoroughly to create an airy, light base that ensures a soft, delicate roll texture.
- Use room temperature ingredients like cream cheese and eggs to guarantee smoother mixing and better incorporation.
- Carefully fold flour mixture to prevent deflating the batter, maintaining the roll’s signature light and fluffy consistency.
- Chill the roll for at least an hour to help set the filling and enhance flavor melding, making slicing easier and more precise.
