HOW TO MAKE Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll

Making an Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll is straightforward and fun. Follow the steps carefully, and you will end up with a delicious roll that everyone will enjoy. Here’s how you can prepare it at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 box chocolate cake mix
• 3 large eggs
• 120 ml vegetable oil
• 240 ml water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Powdered sugar, for dusting
• 225 g cream cheese, softened
• 60 g unsalted butter, softened
• 60 g powdered sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 60 g crushed Oreo cookies (approximately 6–8 cookies)
• 60 g white chocolate, melted
• 4–6 whole Oreo cookies, for decoration
• Extra crushed Oreo cookies, for garnish

DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 175°C (350°F). This step ensures that your cake cooks evenly.

2. Prepare the Baking Pan: Line a 25 x 38 cm jelly roll pan with parchment paper. This will prevent the cake from sticking to the pan and make it easier to roll later.

3. Mix the Batter: In a large bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, vegetable oil, water, and vanilla extract. Mix these ingredients until the batter is smooth and homogenous with no lumps.

4. Bake the Cake: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan and smooth out the surface with a spatula. Bake for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

5. Prepare for Rolling: While the cake bakes, dust a clean kitchen towel evenly with powdered sugar. This will help prevent the cake from sticking to the towel when you roll it.

6. Invert the Cake: When the cake is done baking, immediately invert it onto the sugared towel. Gently remove the parchment paper from the bottom of the cake.

7. Roll the Cake: While the cake is still warm, carefully roll it into the towel from the short edge. This helps to shape the cake and makes it easier to roll later with the filling. Allow it to cool completely in this rolled shape.

8. Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth. Gradually add in the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while mixing, until the filling is light and creamy. Then fold in the crushed Oreo cookies evenly.

9. Unroll the Cake: Once the cake has cooled, carefully unroll it from the towel. Spread the Oreo cream filling evenly over the surface of the cake.

10. Re-roll the Cake: Gently re-roll the cake, trying to maintain a tight structure. This ensures that your roll cake holds its shape well.

11. Chill the Roll: Wrap the roll in cling film and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 60 minutes. This will help set the cream filling.

12. Decorate the Roll: After chilling, unwrap the roll and place it on a serving platter. Drizzle with melted white chocolate, top with whole Oreo cookies, and sprinkle additional crushed Oreos for garnish.

13. Slice and Serve: Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into uniform portions. Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor.

HOW TO SERVE Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll

To serve the Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll, simply cut it into slices and place them on dessert plates. You can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream on the side for an extra treat. Drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce on top if desired. The roll is delicious on its own, but these additions make it even more special.

When serving, keep the slices upright so the beautiful swirl of the cake and filling is visible. This presentation adds to the appeal and makes it look even more appetizing.

HOW TO STORE Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll

If you have leftovers (though they are unlikely because it’s so delicious), storing the Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll is easy. Wrap the roll tightly in cling film or store it in an airtight container. It can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

If you want to make it ahead of time, feel free to prepare the roll and filling a day in advance. Just make sure to wrap it well before chilling. For longer storage, you can freeze the unfilled or filled roll. To freeze, wrap it tightly in cling film and then place it in a freezer-safe bag. The roll can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw it overnight in the refrigerator when ready to serve.

TIPS TO MAKE Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll

1. Don’t Skip the Powdered Sugar: Dusting the towel with powdered sugar is crucial. It prevents the cake from sticking and allows for easier rolling.

2. Watch the Baking Time: Be careful not to over-bake the cake. Keeping it moist is key to rolling it without cracks.

3. Cool Completely: Ensure the cake is completely cooled before spreading the filling. This helps maintain the structure and prevents the filling from melting.

4. Use Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your cream cheese and butter are at room temperature for a smoother filling.

5. Chill for Better Slicing: Chilling the rolled cake makes it easier to slice without squishing the filling.

VARIATIONS

• Flavor Variations: Instead of chocolate cake, you can use a vanilla or red velvet cake mix for a different flavor profile. The Oreo filling will pair beautifully with any cake base.

• Tasty Add-ins: Feel free to add more crushed Oreos or even some mini chocolate chips into the filling for extra texture and flavor.

• Different Chocolate: Instead of white chocolate, you can drizzle dark chocolate or milk chocolate on top for a different chocolate experience.

• Fruity Twist: Add some fresh fruit like strawberries or raspberries as a garnish, or mix them into the filling to add a fruity layer to the dessert.
