• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup crushed Oreo cookies
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper and lightly grease it.
2. In a large bowl, mix together the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil until smooth and well combined.
3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
4. Bake for 12–14 minutes, or until the cake springs back when lightly touched.
5. Lay a clean kitchen towel on a flat surface and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
6. Once the cake is baked, immediately invert it onto the prepared towel.
7. Carefully peel off the parchment paper.
8. Starting from the short end, gently roll the cake up in the towel and let it cool completely.
9. In a separate bowl, beat softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
10. In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
11. Fold the whipped cream and crushed Oreos into the cream cheese mixture.
12. Once the cake is cool, carefully unroll it.
13. Spread the Oreo cream filling evenly over the cake.
14. Gently roll the cake back up (without the towel) into a log shape.
15. Drizzle the top of the roll with melted white chocolate.
16. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before slicing and serving.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serving Tips

• Chill the Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll for at least 1 hour before slicing to help it hold its shape.
• Use a sharp serrated knife to cut clean, even slices. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for the neatest presentation.
• Serve as-is or with a dollop of whipped cream or extra crushed Oreos for added flair.
• This dessert pairs well with coffee, milk, or a glass of dessert wine for a more elegant occasion.

Storage Tips

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days.
• To keep the cake moist, wrap the roll in plastic wrap before placing it in a container.
• For longer storage, the roll can be frozen. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and then in foil or place in a freezer-safe container.
• Freeze for up to 1 month. To serve, thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
• Avoid storing at room temperature for extended periods, as the cream cheese filling needs to be kept chilled.

Variations

1. Mint Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll
Swap classic Oreos for Mint Oreos to give the filling a cool, refreshing twist. Add a few drops of peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture and drizzle with green-colored white chocolate for a festive look—perfect for holidays like Christmas or St. Patrick’s Day.

2. Peanut Butter Oreo Roll
Use Peanut Butter Oreos and mix 2 tablespoons of creamy peanut butter into the cream cheese filling. The nutty flavor balances the sweetness of the chocolate cake and creates a rich, indulgent treat. Drizzle with a mix of white and milk chocolate for added flair.

3. Birthday Cake Oreo Roll
Use Birthday Cake Oreos and add 1–2 tablespoons of rainbow sprinkles to the filling. This playful variation is great for birthdays or celebrations. Top with a white chocolate drizzle and more sprinkles for a festive finish.

4. Double Chocolate Chip Roll
Mix 1/4 cup of mini chocolate chips into the Oreo cream filling. This version adds extra texture and a deeper chocolate flavor, ideal for chocolate lovers. A drizzle of dark chocolate instead of white chocolate gives it an elegant touch.

5. Red Velvet Oreo Roll
Replace the chocolate cake mix with red velvet cake mix and use original Oreos or Red Velvet Oreos (if available). This striking variation is great for Valentine’s Day or romantic occasions. Finish with a cream cheese glaze instead of white chocolate.

6. Golden Oreo Vanilla Roll
Use Golden Oreos and a vanilla cake mix instead of chocolate. Add a splash of almond extract to the filling for a warm, nutty flavor. Drizzle with white chocolate and top with crushed Golden Oreos for a light and creamy version of the classic.

7. Cookies and Cream Mocha Roll
Add 1 tablespoon of instant espresso powder to the cake batter for a mocha twist. Use classic Oreos in the filling. The hint of coffee enhances the chocolate flavor and makes this roll taste like a gourmet dessert.

FAQs

1. Can I use homemade chocolate cake instead of a boxed mix?
Yes, you can use a homemade chocolate sponge cake, as long as it’s flexible and moist enough to roll without cracking.

2. How do I keep the cake from cracking when I roll it?
Rolling the cake in a towel dusted with powdered sugar while it’s still warm helps it set in shape and prevents cracks. Be gentle when rolling and unrolling.

3. What’s the best way to crush the Oreos for the filling?
Place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin or pulse them a few times in a food processor. Keep some small chunks for texture.

4. Can I make the roll in advance?
Yes, you can make the roll up to a day ahead. Keep it wrapped tightly in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

5. How do I drizzle the white chocolate neatly?
Melt the white chocolate and use a spoon or piping bag to drizzle in thin lines across the top. You can also use a fork for a more rustic look.

6. Can I use low-fat cream cheese or whipped topping?
You can use low-fat cream cheese, but the texture may be slightly softer. Whipped topping like Cool Whip can be used as a shortcut, though it’s sweeter than fresh whipped cream.

7. Can I freeze the Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll?
Yes, wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

8. What size pan should I use for the cake?
A 10×15-inch jelly roll pan works best. Using a different size may affect baking time and the cake’s ability to roll.

9. Can I use other flavors of Oreos?
Absolutely. Mint, Golden, Birthday Cake, Peanut Butter, or seasonal flavors all work great and add variety to the dessert.

10. How long will leftovers last?
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days. The roll stays moist and delicious when properly stored.

This Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll is the perfect balance of rich chocolate and creamy filling, making it a standout dessert for any occasion. Whether you’re a beginner or seasoned baker, this simple yet stunning dessert will leave a lasting impression.
