Making these Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Sushi Rolls involves a few simple steps. Here’s how to do it:

1. Prepare Sushi Rice: Rinse the sushi rice in cold water until the water runs clear. Drain well.

2. Cook Sushi Rice: In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed rice and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes.

3. Season the Rice: Once the rice is cooked, remove it from heat and let it sit, covered, for 10 minutes. In a small bowl, mix the sugar and rice vinegar. Stir this mixture into the rice. Cool to room temperature.

4. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

5. Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and slice the strawberries. Set them aside.

6. Assemble the Rolls: On a bamboo sushi mat (or a clean cutting board), spread a thin layer of sushi rice evenly. Leave about an inch uncovered at the top edge.

7. Add the Filling: Spoon a line of the cheesecake filling along the center of the rice, then lay some strawberry slices on top.

8. Roll the Sushi: Using the mat, gently but firmly roll the sushi away from you until you reach the uncovered edge. Moisten the edge with a little water to seal the roll.

9. Cut the Rolls: Using a sharp knife, cut the roll into bite-sized pieces. Wet the knife in between cuts to prevent sticking.

10. Serve: Arrange the pieces on a serving platter. Top with whipped cream and sprinkle crushed graham crackers for garnish, if desired.
