How to Make No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Sushi Rolls
-
Beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar together in a bowl until it’s smooth and fluffy. This creates a luscious filling that complements the Oreo crust wonderfully.
-
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. A food processor works great for this step, or you can use a zip-top bag and a rolling pin for some stress relief!
-
Mix the Oreo crumbs and melted butter together until well combined. You’ll want it to resemble wet sand, which will help form a sturdy crust.
-
Press the Oreo mixture into a thin rectangle on a sheet of parchment paper. Aim for about ¼ inch thick, ensuring it’s packed tightly for a secure roll.
-
Spread the cheesecake mixture evenly over the Oreo crust, leaving about a ½-inch border. This helps to prevent overflow when you roll it up later!
-
Add your optional fruit filling now, if desired. Sliced strawberries or bananas lend a refreshing burst of flavor that takes these rolls to the next level!
-
Roll up the cheesecake mixture using the parchment paper as a guide, similar to making sushi. Keep it tight but not overly squished!
-
Freeze the roll for 30-45 minutes, or until firm. This step ensures each slice holds its shape beautifully when you cut it.
-
Slice the roll into 1-inch rounds using a sharp knife. Wipe the knife between cuts for clean edges—presentation is key!
-
Drizzle with chocolate, sprinkle with crushed Oreos, or top with whipped cream to make your rolls even more indulgent!
Optional: Garnish with sliced strawberries or bananas for a colorful finish.

Expert Tips for No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Sushi Rolls
-
Cream Cheese Consistency: Ensure your cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Cold cream cheese will result in a lumpy filling, so let it sit at room temperature for 30 minutes.
-
Crumbly Crust: Don’t skip the melted butter! It’s crucial for binding the crushed Oreos into a firm crust that won’t crumble apart when rolling your cheesecake.
-
Tight Rolling: Use the parchment paper to help guide your roll tightly. If it’s too loose, the filling may spill out when you slice it, ruining the sushi roll effect.
-
Freezing Time: If you’re in a rush, 30 minutes in the freezer will suffice, but ensure it’s firm before slicing. A firmer roll will yield cleaner, prettier slices!
-
Presentation Matters: Wipe your knife between cuts for clean slices. Presentation is key when serving these stunning No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Sushi Rolls to impress your guests!

What is the best way to store No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Sushi Rolls?
You can store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. This keeps them fresh and preserves the creamy texture.

What should I do if my cheesecake filling is too thick?
Very! If your cream cheese filling seems too thick after mixing, don’t worry—just add a splash of milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach your desired consistency.
