Description
A delightful no-bake dessert featuring cheesecake-filled tortillas, fresh strawberries, and a shortcake crumb topping for a twist on the classic strawberry shortcake.
Ingredients
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream, whipped to stiff peaks
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, diced
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers or shortbread cookies
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tbsp strawberry gelatin powder
- 6–8 large flour tortillas
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold in the whipped heavy cream until fully incorporated. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, melted butter, and strawberry gelatin powder until evenly mixed.
- Spread the crumb mixture on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until golden and fragrant. Allow to cool completely.
- Lay a tortilla flat and spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling evenly over it. Sprinkle diced strawberries on top.
- Roll the tortilla tightly and wrap in plastic wrap. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set.
- Remove the chilled rolls from plastic wrap. Lightly brush the outside with softened butter, then roll each in the shortcake crumb mixture until fully coated.
- Slice each roll into 1-inch pieces and arrange on a serving plate. Dust with powdered sugar before serving for a delicate finish.
Notes
- This dessert is best served chilled to maintain its structure.
- Adjust the amount of strawberries to your taste.
- Make sure to whip the cream to stiff peaks to ensure a firm filling.
- Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
