Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll 🍫🍪

Introduction:

The Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll is a decadent dessert that combines the rich, indulgent flavor of chocolate cake with the smooth, creamy filling of Oreo cookies.

Perfect for special occasions, parties, or simply to treat yourself, this dessert is a showstopper that’s sure to impress.

History of the Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll:

The origins of this dessert lie in the love of two famous culinary icons: chocolate cake and Oreo cookies. While chocolate roll cakes have existed for centuries, the addition of Oreo filling into the roll is a more modern innovation, arising from the popularity of Oreo desserts in recent decades. The flavor profile of this dessert combines the deep, rich taste of chocolate with the nostalgic, slightly crunchy sweetness of the Oreo cream filling. As the Oreo cookie has been around since 1912, it was only a matter of time before it found its way into one of the most beloved forms of cake: the rolled-up chocolate sponge.

Ingredients:

For the Chocolate Cake:

  • 1 box chocolate cake mix (plus the ingredients listed on the back of the box, typically eggs, oil, and water)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup water (or as per the cake mix instructions)
  • 1/3 cup vegetable oil

For the Oreo Cream Filling:

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 15 Oreo cookies, crushed into crumbs

For the White Chocolate Drizzle:

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for a smoother drizzle)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Chocolate Cake

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and line a 15×10-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and vegetable oil (following the instructions on the cake mix box). Mix until smooth and combined.
  3. Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
  4. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cake comes out clean.
  5. Once baked, remove from the oven and allow the cake to cool slightly (about 5 minutes). Then, turn it out onto a clean kitchen towel that’s lightly dusted with powdered sugar. Carefully peel off the parchment paper and roll the cake up with the towel inside, creating a jelly roll shape. Let it cool completely.

Step 2: Making the Oreo Cream Filling

  1. In a medium bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and butter until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to beat until fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in the crushed Oreo cookies. The filling should be thick and creamy.

Step 3: Assembling the Roll

  1. Once the cake has cooled completely, unroll it gently.
  2. Spread the Oreo cream filling evenly over the surface of the cake, leaving a small border around the edges.
  3. Carefully roll the cake back up, without the towel this time, into a tight log.
  4. Place the rolled cake seam-side down on a serving platter.

Step 4: Adding the White Chocolate Drizzle

  1. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and heavy cream together in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth and melted.
  2. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the top of the rolled cake.
  3. Let the cake set for a few minutes to allow the drizzle to harden slightly.

Methods:

  • Baking the Cake: The cake is baked in a jelly roll pan to allow for an even, thin layer that can easily be rolled up. It’s important to cool the cake in a rolled-up position with a towel, which helps maintain the soft texture of the sponge without cracking.
  • Making the Filling: Using room temperature cream cheese and butter ensures that the filling mixes smoothly without lumps. Crushing the Oreo cookies creates the perfect balance between creamy and crunchy in the filling.
  • Drizzling White Chocolate: Melting white chocolate carefully, either in the microwave or using a double boiler, allows for a smooth and glossy drizzle that enhances both the appearance and flavor.

Conclusion:

The Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll is a delightful combination of rich chocolate cake and creamy Oreo goodness. It’s the perfect dessert for anyone who loves the classic Oreo flavor in a new, exciting format. Whether it’s for a special occasion or a simple treat, this roll will surely be the star of the dessert table. The soft chocolate cake, creamy filling, and smooth white chocolate drizzle make every bite a little bit of heaven.
