Ingredients

For the biscuit base

• 200g digestive biscuits
• 80g unsalted butter, melted

For the cheesecake filling

• 250g full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature

• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 200ml double cream, cold

For the strawberry layer

• 200g fresh strawberries, finely chopped

How to Make Delicious No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls

• Prepare the base: Crush the digestive biscuits into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin. Mix with the melted butter until evenly combined.
• Shape the base: Tip the mixture onto a sheet of baking parchment and press into a thin, even rectangle about 1 cm thick. Chill in the fridge for 15 minutes to firm up.
• Make the filling: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, icing sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
• Whip the cream: In a separate bowl, whip the double cream to soft peaks, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
• Prepare the strawberries: Mix the chopped strawberries with the strawberry jam in a small bowl.
• Assemble the rolls: Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the chilled biscuit base. Spoon the strawberry mixture over the top and spread gently.
• Roll and chill: Using the parchment to help you, carefully roll the mixture into a tight log. Wrap and chill for at least 1 hour until firm.
• Slice and serve: Cut into neat slices using a sharp knife and serve chilled.

Tips

How do I stop the rolls from cracking?

Make sure the base is not too cold before rolling. Let it sit for a minute out of the fridge so it stays flexible.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes, they are ideal for preparing a day in advance. Keep them well wrapped in the fridge.

What if my filling feels too soft?

Chill the filling for 10 minutes before spreading. This helps it hold its shape when rolling.
