Ingredients

For the Sushi Rolls

  • 1 loaf Pound cake or angel food cake – Store-bought, sliced thinly
  • 8 oz Cream cheese – Softened to room temperature
  • ¼ cup Powdered sugar – Sweetens filling
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract – Adds flavor
  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries – Diced small
  • 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs – For coating

For the Strawberry Sauce

  • 1 cup Fresh strawberries – Hulled
  • 2 tablespoon Sugar – Adds sweetness
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice – Enhances flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch – Mixed with 1 tablespoon water to thicken

For Garnish

  • Few whole Strawberries – For topping
  • 1 cup Whipped cream – Optional
  • Some tablespoon Graham cracker crumbs – For extra crunch

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cake Slices: Slice the pound cake into thin sheets and use a rolling pin to flatten each slice evenly, making it easier to roll later.
  2. Make Filling: Beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy to create the cheesecake filling.
  3. Add Strawberries: Gently stir the diced fresh strawberries into the cream cheese filling to distribute them evenly throughout.
  4. Assemble Rolls: Spread the cream cheese and strawberry filling evenly over the flattened cake slices, ensuring full coverage.
  5. Roll the Cake: Carefully roll each filled cake slice tightly into a sushi-style log, ensuring the filling stays inside.
  6. Chill Rolls: Wrap the sushi rolls securely in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours to set and firm up.
  7. Coat Rolls: After chilling, spread a thin additional layer of cream cheese on the outside of each roll, then roll in graham cracker crumbs to coat them evenly for texture and flavor.
  8. Slice Rolls: Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the rolls into 1-inch thick sushi pieces for serving.
  9. Prepare Sauce: Blend hulled strawberries with sugar and lemon juice until smooth, then cook the mixture with cornstarch slurry over medium heat until thickened into a luscious strawberry sauce.
  10. Serve: Drizzle the strawberry sauce over the sushi rolls and garnish with whole strawberries, whipped cream, and extra graham cracker crumbs for an eye-catching presentation.

Notes

  • Nutrition facts are estimated and may vary based on specific ingredients and portion sizes used.
  • Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • Use a serrated knife to avoid squishing the delicate cake when slicing.
  • Chilling the rolls helps them hold their shape and makes slicing cleaner.
  • Optional whipped cream adds extra richness but can be omitted for a lighter dessert.
