Ingredients
Scale
1 sheet Fluffy Sponge Cake (Store-bought for convenience.)
8 ounces Cream Cheese (Substitute with mascarpone for variation.)
1 cup Powdered Sugar
1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1 cup Whipped Cream
1/2 cup Strawberry Preserves
1 cup Fresh Strawberries (Diced.)
1/2 cup Melted White Chocolate (For drizzling.)
a few Mint Leaves (For garnish.)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a jelly roll pan and line it with parchment paper. Bake the sponge cake for about 12-15 minutes until it’s lightly golden. Let it cool completely.
In a large mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed until smooth, about 2-3 minutes, then gently fold in whipped cream.
Spread a thin layer of strawberry preserves over the cooled sponge cake, followed by the cream cheese mixture and diced strawberries.
Starting from one end, roll the cake tightly into a log shape. Ensure the roll is tight but not so tight that the filling oozes.
Cover the roll with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to set.
After chilling, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife for clean edges.
Arrange the sliced rolls on a platter. Drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired and garnish with mint leaves.
