Save to Pinterest Oreo Sushi Rolls are the dessert your family did not know they needed. A favorite in my house for birthday parties and weekend movie nights, these no bake treats turn classic Oreos into show stopping bite size confections with a creamy tangy filling and a glossy chocolate drizzle.
I first made Oreo Sushi Rolls for my niece’s birthday and now my family begs for them at every celebration. They look so impressive but are secretly so simple.
Ingredients
- Oreo cookies: Use the regular kind for the best texture. Double Stuff can be too sticky. Choose a fresh pack for the crispest flavor
- Milk: Brings the Oreo crumbs together, creating a rollable dough. Use whole milk for extra richness
- Cream cheese: Go for full fat and allow it to soften at room temperature for the creamiest filling. Look for reputable dairy brands with minimal additives
- Powdered sugar: Blends easily and gives sweetness to the filling. Sift for an ultra smooth texture
- Vanilla extract: Adds warmth and depth. Use pure vanilla, not imitation, for the best flavor
- Dark chocolate for drizzling: Pick a quality bar with at least seventy percent cocoa for balanced sweetness
- Sprinkles or shredded coconut (optional garnish): Both add color and texture. Choose unsweetened coconut for less sugar or use colorful sprinkles for a party vibe
Instructions
- Make the Oreo crumbs:
- Place Oreo cookies in a food processor. Process until fine and even. Remove cream filling first and set that aside for the filling
- Form the cookie dough:
- Add milk to the cookie crumbs. Mix thoroughly until it forms a pliable dough that can hold together when pinched
- Roll out the base:
- Sandwich the dough between two sheets of parchment paper. Use a rolling pin to form a rectangle about one quarter inch thick
- Prepare the creamy filling:
- In a bowl blend together the reserved Oreo cream, cream cheese, powdered sugar and vanilla. Beat until smooth and light with no lumps
- Spread the filling:
- Evenly cover the rolled out cookie base with your cream cheese mixture. Leave a small border for tidy rolling
- Roll into a sushi log:
- Using parchment paper as a guide, tightly roll the base from the short end into a log shape. Work slowly for a tight swirl
- Chill the log:
- Refrigerate the roll for thirty minutes to help it firm up, making slicing much easier
- Slice into sushi rolls:
- Using a sharp knife, cut the chilled log into twelve bite sized pieces. Wipe the knife with a damp cloth between cuts for clean edges
- Decorate with chocolate:
- Drizzle melted dark chocolate over each sushi piece. Sprinkle with coconut or your choice of sprinkles if you like
Save to Pinterest My favorite part of this recipe is seeing my kids’ faces as we drizzle the chocolate. These rolls first made an appearance at a family picnic and everyone from the youngest cousin to the grandparents went back for seconds.
Storage Tips
Store your Oreo Sushi Rolls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They stay fresh and soft for up to three days. Stack with parchment between layers to prevent sticking. If making ahead, keep the rolls whole and slice just before serving for prettiest results.
Ingredient Substitutions
If you want to make these dairy free, try using a vegan cream cheese and almond milk. Gluten free sandwich cookies also work, but check they crumble well. For a sweeter filling, add a bit more powdered sugar or a few drops of almond extract for variation.
Serving Suggestions
Serve these on a platter lined with parchment for family gatherings or cut into smaller pieces for buffet tables. They also make adorable boxed gifts for friends or festive additions to a dessert board. For extra flair, add a dollop of whipped cream or sliced fruit on the side.
Cultural Context
Oreo Sushi Rolls were inspired by the fusion dessert trend that makes playful use of familiar ingredients. With a nod to traditional sushi’s elegant appearance, these rolls combine the nostalgia of Oreos with a modern twist. My family loves the creative presentation and it sparks conversations about food from all over the world.
Seasonal Adaptations
Add a thin strip of strawberry, banana or mango before rolling for a spring or summer vibe. Use festive colored sprinkles for holidays such as red and green for Christmas or pastel for Easter. Swap the dark chocolate drizzle for white chocolate dyed with food color for a party theme.
Success Stories
I have heard from friends who made these with toddlers and said it was the highlight of their rainy day. Another family used gluten free cookies so everyone at their party could join in. The no bake factor wins over busy parents every time.
Freezer Meal Conversion
To freeze Oreo Sushi Rolls, slice and spread them out on a tray. Freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Store for up to one month. Thaw overnight in the fridge before serving. The texture will remain delicious if you skip the garnishes until after defrosting.
