# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Preheat the oven to 175°C. In a mixing bowl, combine eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat until light and fluffy. Sift together the flour, baking powder, and salt, then gently fold into the egg mixture. Spread the batter evenly on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
02 -
In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
03 -
In a separate chilled bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
04 -
Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well incorporated to create a light cheesecake filling.
05 -
Place a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean work surface. Spread a thin layer of the whipped cream over the plastic wrap. Layer the diced strawberries evenly over the cream. Carefully roll the cake base into a sushi roll shape using the plastic wrap to assist. Chill for at least 30 minutes to set.
06 -
Drizzle melted white chocolate over the rolls and sprinkle crushed shortbread cookies or graham crackers on top. Arrange halved fresh strawberries decoratively. Slice into sushi-like pieces and serve immediately.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is sufficiently softened to achieve a smooth filling.
02 -
Chilling heavy cream prior to whipping is essential for stiff peaks.
03 -
