Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream whipped to stiff peaks
- 1 cup fresh raspberries, diced
- 2 tbsp granulated sugar for macerating raspberries
- 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies or wafers
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 6 large crepes (store-bought or homemade)
- Powdered sugar for dusting
Step-by-Step Guide:
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
Beat the softened cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream, creating a light, fluffy cheesecake filling. - Macerate the Raspberries
Toss the diced raspberries with 2 tablespoons of sugar, letting them sit for about 10 minutes. This releases their natural juices and enhances their sweetness, making them the perfect complement to the cheesecake filling. - Create the Chocolate Crumbs
Combine crushed chocolate cookies or wafers with melted butter, creating a rich and crunchy chocolate crumb mixture. - Assemble the Rolls
Lay out a crepe or thin cake layer on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the cheesecake filling across it, sprinkle with chocolate crumbs, and add a row of macerated raspberries. - Roll and Chill
Carefully roll the crepe into a tight log shape, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for about an hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the filling to set, making slicing easier and the dessert even more delightful. - Serve and Enjoy
Slice the crepe roll into bite-sized pieces, dust with powdered sugar for an elegant finish, and get ready to indulge!
Tips for Success:
- Chill the cream cheese filling slightly before spreading to make it easier to work with and help it set in the crepe.
- Use fresh, ripe raspberries for the best flavor. If raspberries are out of season, you can substitute with other berries like strawberries or blackberries.
- Customize the chocolate crumb layer with different types of cookies, from classic chocolate wafers to Oreos, for varied flavor and texture.
These Raspberry Chocolate Cheesecake Crepe Rolls are sure to impress, whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply treating yourself. Quick to make and stunning to serve, they’re a reminder that desserts can be both simple and extraordinary. Enjoy the blend of rich cheesecake, vibrant berries, and chocolate bliss with every bite.
