Ingredients
- 3 Tbsp unsalted butter (or coconut oil)
- 10 oz mini marshmallows
- 1 pinch fine salt
- 3 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1¼ cups finely crushed shortbread cookies (plus extra for coating)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (dairy-free if needed)
- ½ cup powdered sugar (to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup cold heavy cream, softly whipped (or coconut whip)
- 2 cups finely diced strawberries
- 1–2 Tbsp sugar
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 3–4 sheets strawberry fruit leather, cut into ½-inch belts
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed (optional for coating)
- 4 oz white chocolate, melted (optional for drizzle)
Equipment
- Large pot for melting marshmallows
- mixing bowls
- hand mixer for cheesecake filling
- rubber spatula
- sheet pan with parchment
- knife for slicing rolls
- spoon or piping bag
Method
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Melt butter in a large pot over low heat. Add marshmallows and salt; stir until smooth and fully melted.
- Fold in crisp rice cereal and crushed shortbread cookies until evenly coated. Press mixture into a 10×12-inch rectangle about ¼ inch thick. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped cream to form cheesecake mousse.
- Toss diced strawberries with sugar and lemon juice; drain any excess liquid.
- Spread cheesecake cream evenly over the cereal base, leaving a ½-inch border. Arrange a line of strawberries along one long edge.
- Using parchment to help, roll tightly into a log. Chill for 15–20 minutes to firm.
- Wrap fruit-leather belts around the roll like sushi seaweed. Slice into 1-inch pieces with a lightly oiled knife.
- Dip cut edges in extra cookie and freeze-dried strawberry crumbs. Drizzle with white chocolate if desired.
