Ingredients
  

Strawberry Crunch Coating
  • 20 golden sandwich cookies cream left in
  • 3 tbsp strawberry gelatin powder dry
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter melted
Cheesecake Filling
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 0.25 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 0.5 cup heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks
Assembly & Garnish
  • 6 slices pound cake or soft crustless white bread flattened
  • 12-15 fresh strawberries hulled
  • 0.5 cup white chocolate chips melted
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil
  • 2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs for garnish

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Hand mixer
  • Rolling Pin
  • Plastic wrap or sushi mat
  • Sharp Knife

Method
 

  1. Crush the golden sandwich cookies into fine crumbs. Mix with dry strawberry gelatin powder and melted butter until it resembles wet sand. Spread on a plate.
  2. Beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in the whipped heavy cream gently.
  3. Flatten slices of pound cake or crustless soft white bread completely with a rolling pin.
  4. Lay a flattened cake slice on a piece of plastic wrap. Spread a layer of cheesecake filling evenly over the cake.
  5. Place hulled strawberries end-to-end in a line along the bottom edge of the cake slice.
  6. Using the plastic wrap to help, roll the cake tightly over the strawberries, forming a tight cylinder. Twist the ends of the plastic wrap to seal.
  7. Refrigerate the wrapped rolls for at least 2 hours, or freeze for 45 minutes until firm.
  8. Unwrap the firm rolls and press them firmly into the prepared strawberry crunch coating until entirely covered.
  9. Using a very sharp knife wiped clean between cuts, slice the rolls into 1-inch thick dessert sushi pieces.
  10. Melt white chocolate with coconut oil. Drizzle over the sliced sushi rolls and garnish with graham cracker crumbs before serving.

Notes

Always wipe your knife clean with a damp towel between every single cut to ensure the beautiful strawberry center stays clean and visible.
