Keto Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls
🛒 What You’ll Need
- 5 Large eggs, separated 🥚
- ½ cup Almond flour 🌾
- ½ cup Powdered monk fruit or erythritol ☁️
- 1 tsp Strawberry extract & a drop of pink food coloring 🍓🎨
- 1 tsp Baking powder 🥄
The Silky Cheesecake Filling:
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened 🥛
- ½ cup Heavy cream, whipped ☁️
- ¼ cup Powdered sweetener ☁️
- ½ tsp Vanilla extract 🍦
The Signature Strawberry Crunch:
- ¼ cup Crushed freeze-dried strawberries 🍓
- ¼ cup Crushed keto vanilla cookies or almond flour 🍪
- 1 tbsp Melted butter 🧈
👩🍳 Instructions
- Bake the Sponge: Whisk egg whites until stiff peaks form. In a separate bowl, mix egg yolks, sweetener, almond flour, strawberry extract, and coloring. Gently fold the whites into the yolk mixture. Spread onto a parchment-lined jelly roll pan and bake at 350°F for 10–12 minutes. ⏲️📈🔥
- The Pre-Roll: While hot, flip the cake onto a kitchen towel dusted with sweetener and roll it up tightly. Let it cool completely in this shape! 🌀🧣
- Whipped Filling: Beat the cream cheese, sweetener, and vanilla until smooth, then fold in the whipped heavy cream for a light, airy texture as seen in the center of the rolls! 🥣☁️✨
- Assemble: Unroll the cooled cake and spread a thick, even layer of the cheesecake filling. 🥄☁️📐
- The Hidden Berry: (Optional) Add a few thin slices of fresh strawberry along the edge before rolling it back up tightly. 🍓🤝
- The Crunch Topping: Brush the outside of the roll with a tiny bit of extra filling or melted butter. Roll the log in your strawberry crunch mixture until fully coated as seen in the photo! 🍓👑🥨
- Chill & Slice: Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to set. Slice into beautiful rounds and top each with a dollop of cream and a fresh strawberry slice! 🍽️😋🧤✨
🔥 Pro Tips:
- The “No-Crack” Secret: Rolling the cake while it is still warm is the key to preventing cracks later! 🌬️🛡️💎
- The “Crunch” Texture: For that authentic shortcake feel, keep some of your crushed keto cookies in slightly larger chunks to give it a great mouthfeel against the soft cake. 🍓🎯✨
