The cream cheese gives the base its rich flavor. The powdered sugar adds sweetness. The vanilla extract enhances the taste, while the heavy whipping cream adds lightness. The fresh strawberries bring a burst of flavor and color. The flour tortillas hold it all together. Finally, the shortbread cookies add a nice crunch. You can get creative with this recipe. Consider adding chocolate chips for a sweet twist. You could also use different fruits like blueberries or raspberries instead of strawberries. Want a touch of extra flavor? Try a bit of lemon zest in the cream cheese mix. These options can personalize your dessert. First, you need to make the cream cheese mixture. In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until it is creamy and smooth. You can use an electric mixer for this. Next, add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Mix until these ingredients blend well. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks. This part is key for a light texture. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture. Be careful not to deflate the cream. You want it to stay fluffy and light. Now, it’s time to put everything together. Lay one tortilla flat on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake mixture over the entire surface of the tortilla. Make sure to cover it well. Next, sprinkle a layer of sliced strawberries on top of the cheesecake mixture. This adds a fresh taste. Then, add a thin layer of crushed shortbread cookies for a nice crunch. Starting from one edge, carefully roll the tortilla tightly into a log. Keep it as tight as you can without tearing it. Repeat this step with the remaining tortillas until you have all the rolls made. Once all the rolls are assembled, place them in the freezer for about 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes slicing easier. After freezing, remove the rolls from the freezer. Now, slice each roll into pieces that are about 1-2 inches thick. These bite-sized pieces are perfect for serving. Serve the rolls drizzled with extra whipped cream and garnish with fresh strawberries if you want.
