Fluffy Crepe Rolls with Strawberry Cheesecake Filling (Print version)

Soft crepes rolled with fluffy strawberry cheesecake filling, buttery crumbs, and fresh berries, then chilled and sliced.

# Ingredients:

For the filling

01 - 8 oz (225 g) full-fat cream cheese, softened
02 - 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
03 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
04 - 1 cup (240 ml) cold heavy whipping cream

For the strawberry layer

05 - 1 1/2 cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, finely diced
06 - 1 tablespoon granulated sugar

For the crumb layer

07 - 1 cup (110 g) graham cracker crumbs or crushed shortbread cookies
08 - 3 tablespoons (42 g) unsalted butter, melted

For rolling and serving

09 - 6 large soft crepes, homemade or store-bought
10 - 2 tablespoons powdered sugar, for dusting
11 - Extra fresh strawberries, for serving

# Instructions:

01 - Add softened cream cheese, 1/3 cup sugar, and vanilla to a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth and creamy, scraping the bowl so no lumps remain.
02 - Whip the cold heavy cream in a separate bowl to stiff peaks. Fold it into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula until the filling is smooth, thick, and fluffy.
03 - Toss the diced strawberries with 1 tablespoon sugar. Let them stand for 10 minutes, then spoon off excess liquid if the berries are very juicy.
04 - Stir the graham cracker crumbs with melted butter until evenly moistened and sandy.
05 - Lay one crepe on a clean surface. Spread a strip of cheesecake filling near one edge, sprinkle with crumbs, and add a spoonful of strawberries, leaving a small border.
06 - Roll the crepe snugly into a log. Wrap in plastic wrap and repeat with the remaining crepes. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or up to overnight.
07 - Unwrap the rolls, trim the ends, and slice into 1-inch pieces with a sharp knife. Dust with powdered sugar and serve cold with extra strawberries.

# Good to know:

01 - Chill the rolls for clean slices and a firmer cheesecake texture.
02 - Use small diced strawberries so the crepes roll tightly.
03 - Best served cold the same day they are sliced.
