Next, evenly distribute the **macerated strawberries** over the cheesecake filling. You can reserve a few for garnish later if you like.
Carefully re-roll the cake, this time without the towel, to form a tight log. Use a sharp knife to trim the ends for a clean look.
#### **Step 5: Slice and Serve**
Once rolled up, slice the cake into **1-inch thick slices**. Arrange the rolls on a serving platter. Garnish with extra **fresh strawberries** and a few **mint leaves** for a pop of color and freshness.
Serve immediately, or refrigerate the rolls for an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. These rolls are best served chilled.
### **Tips for the Best Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Rolls**
– **Don’t Overbake the Cake**: The key to the perfect roll is a moist, soft cake. Make sure you don’t overbake it, or it may crack when you roll it up.
– **Use Room Temperature Ingredients**: For the cheesecake filling, make sure your **cream cheese** is softened and your **heavy cream** is chilled. This will make the filling smoother and easier to work with.
– **Customize the Filling**: If you prefer a different flavor, you can add a bit of **cocoa powder** for a chocolatey twist, or **orange zest** for a citrusy note. You can also add other fruits like **blueberries** or **raspberries** to the filling.
– **Make Ahead**: These cheesecake rolls can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to cover them tightly so they don’t dry out.
