Ingredients

Scale

Sponge Cake

  • 1 sponge cake sheet (approx. 10×15 inches, homemade or store-bought)

Filling

  • 8 ounces (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup (60 g) powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whipped cream
  • 1 ½ cups (225 g) fresh strawberries, diced
  • 3 tablespoons (45 g) strawberry preserves or jam

Optional Garnish

  • White chocolate drizzle
  • Extra whipped cream
  • Mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Sponge Cake: If using a homemade sponge cake, bake a sheet approximately 10×15 inches and allow it to cool completely. If using store-bought, ensure the cake sheet is fresh and ready to use.
  2. Make the Cream Cheese Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped cream to create a light and fluffy filling.
  3. Assemble the Sushi Roll: Lay the sponge cake sheet flat on a clean surface. Evenly spread the strawberry preserves or jam over the entire surface of the cake to add a sweet and fruity layer.
  4. Add Cream Cheese Mixture: Gently spread the cream cheese and whipped cream filling over the jam layer, making sure to leave a small border around the edges for easier rolling.
  5. Distribute Fresh Strawberries: Sprinkle the diced fresh strawberries evenly over the cream cheese filling layer, ensuring every bite will have fruity freshness.
  6. Roll the Cake: Starting from one short end, carefully roll the cake into a tight spiral, using gentle pressure to keep the filling inside. Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set.
  7. Slice and Serve: After chilling, remove the plastic wrap and slice the roll into sushi roll-sized pieces, about 1 inch thick. Arrange on a serving plate.
  8. Garnish and Finish: Drizzle with white chocolate if desired, add extra whipped cream and fresh mint leaves for a beautiful presentation. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries for maximum sweetness and flavor.
  • If you don’t have a sponge cake sheet, you can bake a thin layer cake or use a Swiss roll cake as a substitute.
  • Chilling the roll helps it firm up and makes slicing easier.
  • To make this dessert gluten-free, use a gluten-free sponge cake.
  • White chocolate drizzle can be made by melting white chocolate chips and drizzling with a spoon or a squeeze bottle.
