Description
Strawberry Shortcake Sushi Rolls are a fun and creative twist on the classic dessert, featuring layers of soft sponge cake, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries rolled up like sushi. These bite-sized treats are as beautiful as they are delicious — perfect for parties, tea gatherings, or a playful dessert platter.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet vanilla sponge cake (store-bought or homemade, about 1/2 inch thick)
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup strawberry jam (optional, for extra flavor)
- White chocolate drizzle or shredded coconut (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the sponge cake on a piece of parchment paper or plastic wrap.
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Spread a thin, even layer of whipped cream over the sponge cake, leaving about 1 inch uncovered on one edge for sealing.
- Spread a light layer of strawberry jam over the whipped cream if desired.
- Sprinkle finely chopped strawberries evenly over the cream layer.
- Using the parchment or plastic wrap to help, gently roll the cake tightly into a log, starting from the filled edge and rolling toward the uncovered edge.
- Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
- Once chilled, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife, cleaning the blade between cuts.
- Drizzle with melted white chocolate or sprinkle shredded coconut on top for a sushi-like finish.
- Arrange on a platter and serve chilled with extra whipped cream or strawberry dipping sauce.
Notes
- For a shortcut, use store-bought pound cake sliced thinly and flattened with a rolling pin.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
- Chill the roll well before slicing to maintain clean edges.
- Experiment with different fillings like blueberries, Nutella, or cream cheese for fun variations.
