1. Can I use frozen strawberries instead of fresh?

Yes! You can use frozen strawberries, but make sure to thaw and drain them thoroughly before adding to the filling. Excess moisture can make strawberry shortcake sushi rolls soggy. Pat them dry with paper towels for best results.

2. What if the cake cracks while rolling?

Minor cracks are normal and won’t affect taste. While the cake is still warm, gently roll it with the help of a towel lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Any cracks can be covered with the cheesecake filling or garnishes. Proper rolling technique prevents large cracks in strawberry shortcake sushi rolls .

3. How far ahead can I make these rolls?

You can prepare the sponge and filling a day in advance. For the best texture, put the rolls together on the same day you plan to serve them. Refrigerate until serving. Avoid freezing strawberry shortcake sushi rolls , as cream cheese can separate and affect the texture.

4. Can I substitute the white chocolate drizzle?

Absolutely! You can use milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or even a simple glaze made from powdered sugar and milk. Each option adds a different flavor, but all maintain the visual appeal of strawberry shortcake sushi rolls .
