Instructions

Begin by preparing the strawberry compote for optimal cooling time.

Combine diced strawberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium heat.

Simmer for 8-10 minutes until strawberries release their juices.

Mix cornstarch with 1 tablespoon water and add to the simmering strawberries.

Cook for another 2 minutes until mixture thickens, then remove from heat.

Allow compote to cool completely in refrigerator.

In large mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.

Add sugar, vanilla extract, lemon juice, and salt to cream cheese mixture.

Beat until well incorporated and smooth, with no lumps.

Fold in mascarpone cheese and whipped cream for lighter texture.

In separate bowl, combine shortcake crumbles with melted butter and sugar.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and plastic wrap.

Lay vanilla cookie sheets on plastic wrap to form base layer.

Brush cookie sheets lightly with melted white chocolate to help adhesion.

Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over cookie base in thin layer.

Sprinkle half of the shortcake crumble evenly over cream cheese layer.

Spread cooled strawberry compote in a thin line along one edge.

Using bamboo mat and plastic wrap, carefully roll the dessert sushi into tight cylinder.

Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or overnight.

Remove plastic wrap and trim ends for neat presentation.

Slice roll into 1-inch pieces using sharp knife dipped in hot water.

Arrange slices on serving plate, resembling sushi presentation.

Garnish with fresh berry pieces, mint leaves, and white chocolate shavings.

Sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries and gold dust if desired.

Serve with strawberry coulis-honey mixture as dipping sauce.
