- Chocolate Cake Mix: Yes, the box kind works beautifully here! Just pick a rich, dark chocolate one.
- Cream Cheese & Butter: The heart of our filling. Make sure both are softened this is non-negotiable.

How to Make This Oreo Cream Cheese Cheesecake Sushi Roll at Home
I promise this sounds fancier than it really is. Once you try it, you’ll want to make it for birthdays, bake sales, even random Tuesdays. Here’s the full step-by-step:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 10×15-inch jelly roll pan with parchment paper. Trust me, parchment is your best friend here.
- Mix up the chocolate cake as directed on the box: eggs, oil, water, vanilla extract. Stir until it’s smooth and glossy.
- Spread the batter evenly into your prepared pan.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until the center is set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Dust a kitchen towel with powdered sugar. This will keep your cake from sticking.
- Invert the cake onto the towel while still warm and carefully peel away the parchment.
- Roll it up gently in the towel, starting from the short end. Let it cool completely like this it helps set the shape.
- Make the filling by beating softened cream cheese and butter until light and fluffy. Add in powdered sugar and vanilla.
- Fold in the crushed Oreos gently. It should be speckled and thick—like an Oreo Cream Cheese Cheesecake filling you’ll want to eat by the spoon.
- Unroll the cake and spread the filling all over, edge to edge.
- Roll it up again, this time without the towel. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and chill for at least an hour.
- Drizzle melted white chocolate across the top. Let it set for a few minutes.
- Decorate with whole Oreos and a sprinkle of crushed cookie crumbs.
- Slice into bite-sized rounds just like sushi! Serve chilled.
