How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Sushi – A Fun Dessert Roll
A dessert sushi roll made with soft cake, whipped cream, and fresh strawberries. It’s sweet, creamy, and looks adorable on a platter. Roll it, slice it, and serve it like sushi!
Ingredients
- 1 pound cake store-bought or homemade
- 1 cup whipped cream or Cool Whip
- 1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
- Optional: strawberry jam or puree for spreading
- Optional toppings: graham cracker crumbs sprinkles, or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Slice pound cake lengthwise into flat, thin sheets (about 1/4” thick). You can use a serrated knife or a cake leveler.
- On a clean surface or parchment, flatten each slice gently using a rolling pin.
- Spread a thin layer of whipped cream across the surface of each cake sheet.
- Add a few spoonfuls of diced strawberries along one edge (like the filling in sushi). You can also drizzle a bit of jam or puree for extra flavor.
- Carefully roll up the cake sheet into a tight spiral, like sushi.
- Optional: Roll the outside in graham cracker crumbs, sprinkles, or coconut for texture.
- Chill for 15–30 minutes if you want neater slices. Then slice into 1" rounds like sushi rolls.
- Plate and serve with little toothpicks or chopsticks for fun!
Notes
- Use angel food cake for a lighter, fluffier texture.
- Swap strawberries for mango, kiwi, or bananas for tropical vibes.
- Serve with melted chocolate or strawberry sauce for dipping.
- Great as a Mother’s Day brunch treat, birthday party snack, or a fun kids’ kitchen project!
