Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll is a rich, bakery-style dessert made with a soft chocolate sponge rolled around a creamy Oreo filling. It looks impressive but is very doable at home if you follow each step carefully.
Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll
Ingredients
For the Chocolate Sponge:
- 4 large eggs (separated)
- ¾ cup granulated sugar (divided)
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ¼ cup cocoa powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Oreo Cream Filling:
- 1 cup whipped cream (or whipping cream, whipped to soft peaks)
- 8–10 Oreo cookies, crushed
- 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Step-by-Step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the pan and oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper, making sure it covers the sides.
Step 2: Whip the egg yolks
In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar until pale and creamy.
Add milk and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Step 3: Mix dry ingredients
In another bowl, sift together:
- flour
- cocoa powder
- baking powder
- salt
Gently fold this into the yolk mixture until combined.
Step 4: Whip the egg whites
In a clean bowl, beat egg whites until foamy. Gradually add the remaining sugar and beat until stiff peaks form.
Step 5: Fold the batter
Fold one-third of the egg whites into the chocolate mixture to lighten it.
Then gently fold in the remaining egg whites in batches. Keep the mixture airy—this is key for a soft sponge.
Step 6: Bake
Spread the batter evenly in the prepared pan.
Bake for 10–12 minutes, just until the cake springs back lightly when touched. Do not overbake.
Step 7: Roll while warm
Place a clean kitchen towel on the counter and dust it lightly with powdered sugar.
Turn the warm cake onto the towel and peel off the parchment paper.
Starting from the short side, roll the cake gently with the towel inside. Let it cool completely in this rolled shape. This prevents cracking later.
Step 8: Prepare the filling
In a bowl, combine:
- whipped cream
- powdered sugar
- vanilla extract
Fold in the crushed Oreos.
Keep the mixture light and fluffy.
Step 9: Fill and roll again
Carefully unroll the cooled cake.
Spread the Oreo cream filling evenly across the surface, leaving a small border around the edges.
Roll the cake back up tightly (without the towel this time).
Step 10: Chill and serve
Wrap the roll in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to set.
Before serving, dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with chocolate sauce if desired.
Slice and serve chilled.
Tips for Success
- Don’t overbake the sponge—it should stay soft and flexible
- Rolling while warm is essential to avoid cracks
- Crush Oreos into small pieces, but not powder—texture is key
- Chill before slicing for clean, neat pieces
This Oreo cream chocolate roll combines a light sponge with a cookies-and-cream filling, giving you a dessert that feels both elegant and indulgent without being overly heavy.
