Step‑by‑Step Instructions 👩‍🍳👨‍🍳

  1. Preheat and Prepare:
    Preheat oven to 350 °F (175 °C). Line a 10×15‑inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper; lightly grease.

  2. Make the Cake Batter:
    In a bowl, combine cake mix, eggs, oil, and water. Beat 2 minutes until smooth. Pour into pan and spread evenly.

  3. Bake and Roll:
    Bake 12–14 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Immediately turn cake onto a towel dusted with powdered sugar. Peel off parchment and gently roll cake in towel. Cool completely.

  4. Make the Cheesecake Filling:
    Beat cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold in whipped topping until fully incorporated.

  5. Fill and Roll Again:
    Unroll cooled cake. Spread filling evenly, re‑roll (no towel), and refrigerate ≥1 hour to set.

  6. Prepare Strawberry Crunch Topping:
    Combine crushed Oreos, gelatin mix, and melted butter until crumbs are coated.

  7. Slice and Decorate:
    Slice roll into 1‑inch pinwheels. Roll edges in crunch topping. Garnish with whipped topping and halved strawberry.

Serving and Storage Tips 🥡

  • Serve Chilled: For clean cuts and best texture.

  • Storage: Airtight container in fridge ≤3 days.

  • Freezing: Freeze whole roll (un‑sliced), wrapped tightly; thaw in fridge before slicing.

Helpful Notes 📝

  • Roll While Warm: Prevents cracking—be gentle!

  • Cream Cheese Tips: Ensure fully softened to avoid lumps.

  • Extra Strawberry Flavor: Add strawberry jam to filling.

  • Chill Time: ≥1 hour for best set before slicing.
