Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 egg (for egg wash)
- 1/2 cup crushed shortbread cookies (optional, for garnish)
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make Cheesecake Filling: In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare Strawberries: Toss the diced strawberries with granulated sugar and set aside for a few minutes.
- Assemble Rolls: Roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly to smooth the seams. Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides. Sprinkle the sugared strawberries evenly over the filling.
- Roll & Slice: Carefully roll the pastry up tightly, like a jelly roll, starting from the long side. Slice into about 8 even rolls.
- Brush & Bake: Place the rolls on the prepared baking sheet. Brush the tops lightly with the beaten egg. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
- Finish: Let the rolls cool slightly. Garnish with crushed shortbread cookies (if using) and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
