Ingredients
Main Ingredients:
- 24 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Toppings / Fillings:
- Melted chocolate, for drizzling
- Reserved crushed Oreos or mini chocolate chips
- Fruit preserves (strawberry or raspberry), optional
Instructions
- Make the filling: In a medium bowl, beat softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and fluffy, forming a creamy cheesecake base.
- Crush Oreos: Process the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by crushing manually. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of crumbs for garnish if desired.
- Form the “dough”: Mix the Oreo crumbs thoroughly into the cream cheese mixture until a thick, pliable dough-like consistency forms that holds together well.
- Roll out: Place the dough between two sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap, then roll it out evenly into a 1/4-inch-thick rectangular shape using a rolling pin.
- Shape: (Optional) Spread a thin line of fruit preserves or drizzle melted chocolate near one long edge of the rectangle. Using the parchment paper to assist, tightly roll the dough into a log shape. Wrap the log securely in plastic wrap.
- Chill & slice: Refrigerate the wrapped log for at least 1 hour to firm up. After chilling, use a sharp knife to slice the roll into bite-sized “sushi” rounds. Garnish these rounds with reserved crushed Oreos or a drizzle of melted chocolate for extra flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Clean cuts: Chill the roll thoroughly before slicing and wipe the knife clean between cuts to get neat slices.
- Too sticky? Dust your hands and rolling pin lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
- Make-ahead: The roll can be prepared and refrigerated the day before; slice just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Storage: Keep the roll refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Wrap tightly and freeze for up to 1 month, thawing slightly before slicing.
- Variations: Substitute Golden Oreos, add peanut butter or Nutella into the filling, swap vanilla extract for almond or peppermint extract, or fold in mini chocolate chips or freeze-dried strawberry pieces.
- Avoid skipping the chilling step to prevent messy slices and refrain from overmixing to keep the dough from becoming greasy or too soft. Use regular full-fat cream cheese for best texture.
- Serving ideas: Arrange slices on a sushi board with chopsticks, offer chocolate or berry dipping sauces, or present pieces in mini cupcake liners for a fun party treat.
- Diet notes: For a gluten-free version, use certified gluten-free sandwich cookies.
