Why You'll Love This Recipe
About the Ingredients
36 Oreo cookies (about 400g), divided
Use regular Oreos for best texture. You can substitute with any chocolate sandwich cookies.
8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
Full-fat cream cheese gives a rich flavor. Low-fat works but may be less creamy.
1/2 cup (60g) powdered sugar
For sweetness. You can adjust to taste or use granulated sugar if preferred.
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Enhances flavor. You can omit or use almond extract for a different twist.
1/4 cup (30g) white chocolate chips, melted (optional for drizzle)
For decoration. You can use dark chocolate or skip if desired.
1/4 cup (30g) colored sprinkles or crushed freeze-dried strawberries (optional)
For coating the outside to look like seaweed. You can use green food coloring mixed with coconut flakes.
Tips & Tricks
Softened cream cheese is key
Ensure it's at room temperature to avoid lumps. Microwave for 10 seconds if needed.
Chill the roll before slicing
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making clean slices easier.
Use a sharp knife
Dip the knife in hot water and wipe dry between cuts for neat pieces.
Don't overmix the filling
Overmixing can make the Oreo crumbs too fine, losing texture. Keep some small chunks.
Pro Tips
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Crush Oreos
Separate 6 Oreos and crush the cookies (no filling) into fine crumbs using a food processor or zip-top bag and rolling pin. Reserve these crumbs for coating.
2. Make Filling
Crush the remaining 30 Oreos (including filling) into fine crumbs. In a bowl, mix the crumbs with softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
3. Shape the Roll
Place the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log about 2 inches in diameter, using the wrap to roll and compact it. Wrap tightly and refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
4. Coat the Roll
After chilling, unwrap the roll and roll it in the reserved Oreo crumbs, pressing gently to coat the entire surface. This mimics the 'seaweed' look.
5. Slice into Pieces
Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Wipe the knife clean between cuts for neat edges.
6. Drizzle and Decorate
If desired, melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top of each piece. Add sprinkles or crushed strawberries for extra color. Serve chilled.
Delicious Variations
Peanut Butter Oreo Sushi
Add 2 tbsp peanut butter to the filling mixture for a nutty twist.
