Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

Directions

1. Prepare the Rice Layer: In a medium-sized bowl, beat together the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
2. Create the Oreo Crust: Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a ziplock bag and using a rolling pin. Once crushed, set aside.
3. Assemble the Roll: Lay a sheet of plastic wrap on a clean surface, then spread the Oreo crumbs evenly on top, creating a thin layer.
4. Spread the Cheesecake Mixture: Using a spatula, spread the cream cheese mixture over the Oreo crumbs, creating a thin, even layer.
5. Roll It Up: Carefully lift the edge of the plastic wrap and start rolling the mixture into a tight log, making sure the Oreo crust stays intact around the cheesecake filling.
6. Chill: Once rolled, refrigerate the sushi roll for at least 2-3 hours to set the cheesecake layer and allow the roll to firm up.
7. Serve: After chilling, slice the roll into 1-inch pieces using a sharp knife. Drizzle with melted chocolate or your favorite sauce before serving.
