  • 1 teaspoon vanilla flavoring
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries finely diced
  • 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
For the strawberry sauce
  • 1 cup fresh strawberries hulled
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 tablespoon cornstarch
For garnish
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • 2 tablespoons graham cracker crumbs
  • whole strawberries sliced

Equipment

  • Rolling Pin
  • Bowl

Method
 

  1. Lay out slices of pound cake and gently flatten each slice with a rolling pin until thin and flexible.
  2. In a bowl, beat the cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla flavoring until smooth and creamy.
  3. Fold the diced strawberries into the cream cheese mixture until evenly combined.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of the filling over each flattened cake slice.
  5. Carefully roll each slice tightly into a log shape, then wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours until firm.
  6. Unwrap the chilled rolls and lightly spread a thin layer of remaining filling on the outside.
  7. Roll each log in graham cracker crumbs to coat evenly.
  8. Slice each roll into 1 inch pieces using a sharp serrated knife.
  9. To make the sauce, blend strawberries, sugar, lemon juice, water, and cornstarch until smooth, then cook in a small saucepan over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes until thickened.
  10. Let the sauce cool slightly, then drizzle over the sliced rolls.
  11. Garnish with whipped cream, sliced strawberries, and extra graham cracker crumbs before serving.

Notes

Chill the rolls thoroughly before slicing for clean edges and best texture.
