Instructions

Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
Flatten the Bread: Place each slice of white sandwich bread on a clean surface and use a rolling pin to gently roll and flatten the bread until it is thin and pliable, making it easier to roll without tearing.
Assemble the Rolls: Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each flattened bread slice. Sprinkle a small amount of finely chopped strawberries on top, then add a dollop of whipped cream or whipped topping.
Roll the Bread Slices: Carefully roll each slice of bread tightly into a log, ensuring the seam side is facing down to keep the roll intact.
Slice into Sushi Pieces: Using a sharp knife, slice each rolled log into 4 to 5 pieces, creating individual sushi-style bites.
Plate and Garnish: Arrange the sushi pieces onto a serving plate. Optionally garnish with additional fresh strawberries or dust lightly with powdered sugar for an attractive presentation.
Serve or Chill: Serve the strawberry shortcake sushi immediately or refrigerate for 15–20 minutes before serving for a slightly chilled dessert.

Notes

For added indulgence, drizzle the sushi pieces with melted white chocolate or strawberry sauce before serving.
Try substituting the bread with thin sponge cake or tortillas for a different texture and flavor variation.
Make sure to remove crusts completely to ensure a neat and smooth roll.
Use ripe, fresh strawberries for the best flavor and sweetness.
