Ingredients
  

For the Cake Roll

  • 4 large large eggs
  • ¾ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ cup all-purpose flour
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • Powdered sugar (for dusting towel)

For the Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup whipped topping (like Cool Whip or homemade whipped cream)
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup chopped fresh strawberries

For the Strawberry Shortcake Crumble

  • 10 pieces golden Oreos, crushed
  • 1 tbsp strawberry gelatin powder
  • 1 tbsp melted butter

Optional Toppings

  • Whipped cream rosettes
  • Fresh strawberry halves
  • White chocolate drizzle

Instructions
 

Make the Cake

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  • In a large bowl, beat the eggs for 3–4 minutes until thick and pale.
  • Gradually add sugar and vanilla, then gently fold in flour, baking powder, and salt.
  • Spread the batter evenly in the pan and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until set and springy to the touch.

Roll the Cake

  • Dust a clean kitchen towel generously with powdered sugar.
  • Turn the warm cake onto the towel, peel off the parchment, and roll it up with the towel (short end to short end).
  • Let it cool completely.

Make the Filling

  • Beat cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
  • Fold in whipped topping and vanilla.
  • Gently stir in chopped strawberries.

Assemble the Roll

  • Carefully unroll the cooled cake.
  • Spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the surface.
  • Roll it back up (without the towel) and place seam-side down.
  • Chill for 30–60 minutes.

Make the Crumble

  • Mix crushed golden Oreos, strawberry gelatin powder, and melted butter in a bowl until evenly combined and pink.

Coat the Roll

  • If desired, spread a light layer of whipped topping over the roll to help the crumble stick.
  • Gently press the crumble mixture all over the outside of the roll.

Decorate (Optional)

  • Top with whipped cream, fresh strawberries, or a drizzle of white chocolate for a beautiful finish!

Notes

To keep your dessert fresh, store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. If you want to make them ahead, you can freeze the unassembled roll for up to a month. Just remember to wrap it tightly. When you’re ready to enjoy, let it thaw in the fridge overnight and follow the assembly steps.
