Instructions

Prepare the Cheesecake Mixture: In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the whipped topping until fully combined, creating a fluffy cheesecake mixture.
Assemble the Cake Base: Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface. Arrange the thin cake slices into a flat rectangular sheet, gently pressing the edges together to seal and form a solid base for rolling.
Layer Jam and Filling: Spread a thin layer of strawberry jam evenly over the cake sheet to add moisture and flavor. Then, spread the cheesecake mixture on top, followed by sprinkling diced fresh strawberries evenly across the surface.
Roll the Cake: Starting from one end, tightly roll the cake into a log shape with the help of the plastic wrap. Ensure it’s rolled firmly but carefully to avoid cracking.
Chill the Roll: Place the rolled log in the freezer for 30 to 60 minutes to firm up, making it easier to slice into neat sushi-style rounds.
Slice and Coat: Once chilled, unwrap and slice the roll into approximately 12 equal pieces. Optionally, roll the edges in crushed cookies or freeze-dried strawberries to add texture and enhance presentation.
Serve: Serve the dessert sushi rolls chilled, either as-is or with optional additions like white chocolate drizzle or strawberry dipping sauce.

Notes

Freeze slightly longer if needed to make slicing easier and to maintain shape.
Drizzle with white chocolate or serve with strawberry dipping sauce for extra flavor and a fun party twist.
Use fresh ingredients for best taste and texture.
Can be prepared ahead and stored in the freezer for convenience.
