Strawberry Shortcake Sushi Rolls are a fun and creative twist on the classic dessert, featuring a delicate vanilla sponge cake rolled with sweet strawberry jam, fresh sliced strawberries, and fluffy whipped cream. These bite-sized rolls are perfect for parties or a delightful treat, garnished with melted white chocolate or powdered sugar for an elegant finish.

Ingredients

Cake

  • 1 sheet vanilla sponge cake (approx. 9×13 inches)

Filling and Toppings

  • 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
  • 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream
  • 2–3 tbsp powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp strawberry jam (optional)
  • 1/4 cup melted white chocolate (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whip the Cream: In a mixing bowl, combine cold heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip until stiff peaks form, creating a smooth and fluffy cream filling.
  2. Prepare the Sponge Cake: Lay the vanilla sponge cake flat on a sheet of parchment paper and trim the edges to form a neat rectangle approximately 9 by 13 inches.
  3. Spread Jam and Cream: Evenly spread strawberry jam over the surface of the sponge cake, then layer the whipped cream evenly on top, covering the entire cake.
  4. Arrange Strawberries: Place the sliced fresh strawberries in a single layer near the edge of the cake closest to you, preparing it for rolling.
  5. Roll the Cake: Carefully roll the cake forward using the parchment paper to guide it, forming a tight log with the strawberries inside the roll.
  6. Chill the Roll: Wrap the cake roll in parchment paper or plastic wrap and refrigerate for 45 to 60 minutes to allow it to set and firm up for slicing.
  7. Slice and Garnish: Once chilled, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces. Optionally, garnish with melted white chocolate drizzles or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving.

Notes

  • Using cold heavy cream helps achieve better whipped cream consistency.
  • Chilling the roll ensures cleaner slices without the filling oozing out.
  • You can substitute strawberry jam with any berry jam of your choice.
  • For a decorative touch, drizzle melted white chocolate or sprinkle powdered sugar before serving.
  • Keep the cake well-wrapped in the fridge to prevent it from drying out.
