📜 History

  • Strawberry shortcake dates back to the 1500s in England, where “short” referred to the crumbly texture from adding fat (like butter) to dough.
  • Cheesecake traces to ancient Greece, evolving through Rome and eventually becoming the rich cream cheese cake we know today.
  • Crepes, delicate French pancakes, date back to the 13th century in Brittany.

By combining these three iconic desserts, you get a modern fusion that celebrates centuries of sweet traditions.

For the crepes:

  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1¼ cups (300 ml) milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter

🥄 Instructions

1️⃣ Make the crepes

  1. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, melted butter, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
  2. Gradually add flour, whisking until smooth.
  3. Let batter rest for 15-20 minutes (reduces bubbles, makes tender crepes).
  4. Heat a nonstick pan over medium. Brush lightly with butter.
  5. Pour ¼ cup batter, swirl to coat. Cook 1-2 minutes, flip, cook 30 seconds more.
  6. Repeat. Cool crepes on a rack.

2️⃣ Prepare the shortcake crumbs

  1. In a small bowl, combine crushed cookies and melted butter.
  2. Stir to make sandy crumbs. Set aside.

3️⃣ Make the cheesecake filling

  1. Beat cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  2. In another bowl, whip cold heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  3. Fold whipped cream into cream cheese mixture gently.
  4. Stir in diced strawberries.

4️⃣ Assemble the rolls

  1. Lay a crepe flat. Spread 2-3 tbsp cheesecake filling over it.
  2. Sprinkle with cookie crumbs.
  3. Roll up gently like a jelly roll.
  4. Repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
  5. Chill rolls 30 minutes to set.

5️⃣ Serve

  • Slice rolls on a bias.
  • Top with extra strawberries, crumbs, whipped cream, and mint.

🥣 Methods

  • Resting crepe batter relaxes gluten for tender crepes.
