How to Prepare This Recipe

Making No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Sushi Rolls is simple, quick, and fun. You don’t need to worry about preheating an oven or monitoring bake times. Everything comes together in just a few easy steps, and the result is a dessert that looks impressive enough to serve at any gathering.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Base
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until the texture is uniform and crumbly. Transfer the crumbs to a large bowl. Add the melted butter and mix until all the crumbs are evenly coated and the mixture resembles wet sand.

Step 2: Shape the Base
Line a flat surface with parchment paper. Spread the Oreo mixture onto the paper, pressing it down firmly with a spatula or the back of a spoon to create a smooth, even layer. You should aim for a rectangular shape, about half an inch thick. Place this layer in the refrigerator for 15–20 minutes to firm up before adding the filling.

Step 3: Prepare the Cheesecake Filling
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and lump-free. The filling should be soft but not runny. If it feels too loose, place it in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to firm up slightly.

Step 4: Assemble the Rolls
Remove the chilled Oreo base from the refrigerator. Carefully spread the cheesecake filling evenly over the entire surface, leaving about half an inch of space along the edges to prevent overflow when rolling.

Step 5: Roll the Layer
Using the parchment paper as a guide, gently lift one edge of the Oreo layer and roll it over the filling, just like you would roll a sushi mat. Continue rolling tightly but carefully until you have a full log. Wrap the roll in the parchment paper and refrigerate for at least one hour to set.

Step 6: Slice and Serve
Once firm, remove the roll from the refrigerator and unwrap it carefully. Using a sharp knife, slice the roll into even bite-sized pieces. Wipe the knife clean between cuts to keep the slices neat. Arrange the rolls on a serving plate and enjoy them as they are, or drizzle with melted chocolate for extra decadence.

Quick and Easy

This recipe requires minimal equipment and no baking time, making it ideal for busy days or last-minute dessert needs. The chilling time does most of the work for you, allowing you to prepare other dishes or relax while it sets.

Customizable

You can easily make this recipe your own by experimenting with different flavors. Try using Golden Oreos for a vanilla version, add a swirl of peanut butter to the filling, or sprinkle crushed nuts on top for added texture. You can even make mini versions for parties or add food coloring to the cheesecake filling for themed events.

FAQs

Can I make these rolls ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the rolls a day in advance. Keep them wrapped in parchment paper and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for up to 3 days, making them perfect for parties or meal prep.

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?
Absolutely. You can use chocolate sandwich cookies, Golden Oreos, or even homemade cookie crumbs. Just make sure the crumbs are finely crushed and mixed with melted butter for the base to hold properly.

Is it possible to make these rolls vegan or dairy-free?
Yes, you can substitute the cream cheese with a vegan or dairy-free alternative, and use dairy-free cookies and butter. The texture may be slightly different, but the dessert will still be delicious.

How should I slice the rolls without making them crumble?
Use a sharp knife and wipe it clean between cuts to maintain neat slices. Chill the roll thoroughly before slicing, as this helps the cheesecake filling stay firm and prevents crumbling.

Yes, you can freeze them. Wrap the slices individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe container. Thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Can I add toppings?
Definitely. You can drizzle chocolate, caramel, or add crushed nuts, sprinkles, or fruit on top for extra flavor and decoration.
