How To Make Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll

Preheat the oven:

Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Prepare the cake batter:

In a large bowl, mix the chocolate cake according to the package instructions. Combine eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract thoroughly until smooth.

Bake the sponge cake:

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Check with a toothpick to ensure the cake is fully set but not overbaked, keeping it moist.

Roll the cake:

While the cake is still warm, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Turn the cake out onto the towel, carefully peel off the parchment paper, and gently roll it from one short end to the other using the towel to guide you. Let cool completely in the rolled form.

Prepare the filling:

Whisk together softened cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla until fluffy. Gently fold in crushed Oreos.

Assemble the roll:

Once the cake is cooled, unroll carefully. Spread the filling evenly over the cake’s surface and re-roll tightly, using the towel for support if needed. Refrigerate for 15 minutes to set.

Decorate:

Drizzle the rolled cake with melted white chocolate. Garnish with whole Oreo cookies and extra crushed cookies for a final touch.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze slices individually wrapped – great for a quick dessert on busy nights.

Ingredient Substitutions

Swap the chocolate cake mix for a gluten-free or vegan alternative to accommodate dietary needs. Dairy-free cream cheese and butter substitutes work well without compromising texture.

Serving Suggestions

Serve chilled to enhance the creamy textures. Pair with a hot espresso or cold glass of milk for the perfect balance of flavors.

This dessert captures the essence of celebration with its stunning look and incredible flavor. From the soft chocolate sponge to the creamy Oreo-rich filling, it’s sure to become a family favorite. Next time you are planning an event, this recipe is guaranteed to impress everyone with its taste and appearance.
