Ingredients
For the Chocolate Cake
- 1 box chocolate cake mix (or homemade chocolate cake)
- 3 large eggs
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- 1 cup water
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Powdered sugar, for dusting
For the Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup unsalted butter, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup crushed Oreo cookies (about 6-8 cookies)

How to Create Your Oreo Cream Cheese Cheesecake Sushi Roll
Step 1: Bake the Chocolate Cake
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Prepare the chocolate cake batter following the box or your homemade recipe, mixing eggs, oil, water, and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour the batter evenly into the lined pan and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Step 2: Roll the Warm Cake
While the cake bakes, dust a clean kitchen towel with powdered sugar. Immediately invert the warm cake onto the towel and carefully peel off the parchment paper. Starting from one short end, roll the cake gently in the towel and let it cool completely rolled up. This prevents cracking during rolling later.
Step 3: Make the Oreo Cream Cheese Filling
In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese and butter using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing thoroughly. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies to distribute evenly throughout the filling.
Step 4: Unroll and Fill the Cake
Carefully unroll the cooled cake and spread the Oreo cream cheese filling evenly over the surface right up to the edges.
Step 5: Roll the Cake Again and Chill
Roll the cake gently but firmly without the towel, ensuring the filling stays inside and the roll is tight. Wrap the rolled cake tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the filling to set and the roll to firm.
Step 6: Decorate the Roll
Remove the cake from the refrigerator and unwrap it. Drizzle melted white chocolate across the top of the roll for an elegant finish. Decorate with whole Oreo cookies placed on top and sprinkle extra crushed Oreos over the roll for added texture and visual appeal.
Step 7: Slice and Serve
Using a sharp serrated knife, slice the roll into 1-inch portions, resembling sushi rolls. Serve chilled immediately for the best texture and flavor.
