Step-by-step instructions

Let’s get rolling with these simple steps to create your delicious dessert!

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a 10×15 inch jelly roll pan by lining it with parchment paper and lightly greasing it.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with the granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, approximately 5 minutes.
3. In another bowl, sift together the cocoa powder, flour, baking powder, and salt.
4. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the egg mixture, alternating with the milk and vanilla. Mix until just combined.
5. Pour the batter into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly across the surface.
6. Bake the cake for 12-15 minutes, or until it springs back when touched lightly.
7. While the cake bakes, whip the heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies.
8. Once the cake is done, invert it onto a clean towel dusted with powdered sugar and carefully remove the parchment paper.
9. While still warm, spread the Oreo cream filling over the cake evenly.
10. Using the towel for support, carefully roll the cake from the short side, creating a tight roll.
11. Wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before slicing and serving.

Best ways to enjoy it

Slice up your Oreo Cream Chocolate Roll and serve it on cake plates or dessert bowls. You can sandwich the roll with fresh berries or drizzle some chocolate sauce on top for extra flair. Consider serving with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of extra whipped cream to elevate every bite!

Storage and reheating tips

If there are any leftovers (which might be a challenge!), you can keep the roll in the fridge for up to 3 days. Make sure to wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to prevent it from drying out. If you want to freeze it, slice the roll and freeze individual pieces in an airtight container for up to a month. Just be sure to let it thaw in the fridge before enjoying!

Helpful cooking tips

To achieve the perfect roll, make sure your egg and sugar mixture is fluffy enough. This helps the roll maintain its shape and adds to the light texture! Additionally, when rolling, make sure to use a non-stick towel to prevent sticking, and start from the shorter side for a tighter roll.

Creative twists

Feel free to get playful with this recipe! Try adding different flavors to the whipped cream, like peppermint extract or almond extract, for a unique taste. You can also swap out the Oreos for your favorite flavored cookies or even sprinkle in some chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips for added crunch.
