Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. This takes about 2–3 minutes with a hand mixer. Fold in the diced strawberries gently.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Set aside.
  3. Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture across the lower third of the crepe. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of the cookie crumbs.
  4. Roll the crepe tightly, like a burrito. Wrap each roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (longer is better!) to firm up.
  5. Remove the plastic wrap and slice the crepes into 1-inch rounds. Garnish with whipped cream, strawberry slices, extra cookie crumbs, or drizzle with strawberry syrup if desired.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Cheesecake Filling

In a mixing bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and fluffy. This takes about 2–3 minutes with a hand mixer. Fold in the diced strawberries gently.

In a small bowl, mix the crushed cookies with the melted butter until they resemble wet sand. Set aside.

Lay a crepe flat on a clean surface. Spread 2–3 tablespoons of the cheesecake mixture across the lower third of the crepe. Sprinkle with about 1 tablespoon of the cookie crumbs.

Step 4: Roll It Up

Tips for Success

  • Use room temp cream cheese for the smoothest filling
  • Make sure the strawberries are diced small so they don’t tear the crepes
  • Chill before slicing—this helps them hold shape
  • Use a sharp knife or dental floss (unflavored) for the cleanest cuts
  • Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use frozen strawberries?

Fresh is best to avoid watery filling, but if using frozen, thaw and drain very well before mixing in.

Do I have to use crepes?

You can use thin pancakes or even flour tortillas in a pinch, but crepes have the best texture and sweetness.

Can I make these ahead?

Absolutely! These are best when chilled for a few hours, so make them the day before your event.

Is this recipe kid-friendly?

100%! Sweet, soft, and bite-sized—it’s a winner with kids and grown-ups alike.
