Instructions
For the Sushi Rolls:
- 1. Prepare Your Sushi Rice: Rinse 1 cup of sushi rice under cold water until the water runs clear. Cook according to package instructions, usually about 20 minutes. Let cool slightly.
- 2. Make the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- 3. Assemble Your Rolls: Place plastic wrap over your bamboo mat. Spread an even layer of sushi rice on top (about half an inch thick). Add a layer of cheesecake filling followed by sliced strawberries.
- 4. Roll It Up: Carefully roll from the end with toppings toward the empty edge using the bamboo mat. Apply gentle pressure to form tight rolls.
- 5. Slice and Serve: Use a sharp knife to cut into bite-sized pieces (about an inch thick). Serve chilled with dollops of whipped cream on top.
