Soft crepe rolls filled with strawberries, cheesecake cream, and crumbly cookies for a luscious dessert.

# Ingredients:

→ Filling

01 - 225 grams cream cheese, softened
02 - 60 grams granulated sugar
03 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
04 - 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream

→ Strawberry layer

05 - 150 grams fresh strawberries, diced
06 - 25 grams granulated sugar

→ Crumb layer

07 - 150 grams shortbread cookies or graham crackers, crushed
08 - 60 milliliters unsalted butter, melted

→ Base and garnish

09 - 6 large crepes or thin cake layers
10 - Powdered sugar, for dusting

# Instructions:

01 - In a large mixing bowl, beat cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
02 - Whip the heavy cream in a separate chilled bowl until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined.
03 - Combine diced strawberries and granulated sugar in a bowl. Allow to macerate for 10 minutes until the strawberries release their juices.
04 - In a bowl, stir together the crushed cookies and melted butter until the mixture resembles damp sand.
05 - Lay one crepe on a clean surface. Spread with cream filling, sprinkle with cookie crumbs, and spoon the macerated strawberries evenly over the top. Roll up tightly as you would sushi.
06 - Wrap each roll securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour to set the layers.
07 - Trim the ends and slice each roll into 2.5-centimeter pieces. Dust lightly with powdered sugar just before serving.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure all components are chilled before assembling to achieve clean, defined layers and easy slicing.
