Ingredients
Gathering Your Oreo Sushi Ingredients
The beauty of this easy Oreo recipe is its minimal ingredient list. You’ll need:
Main Ingredients:
- Oreo cream from cookies (scrape out the filling from about 20-24 Oreos)
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/4 cup milk (for rolling consistency)
For Coating and Decoration:
- Crushed Oreo cookies (the cookies you scraped the cream from)
- Chocolate sauce or melted chocolate for drizzling
- Caramel sauce for drizzling
- Powdered sugar for dusting
The ingredient list might seem unusual, but trust me—this combination creates the perfect texture and flavor for these Oreo sweet sushi treats. The cream filling provides the base, while the milk helps create a moldable consistency that holds its shape.
Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions for Oreo Sweet Sushi
Step 1: Prepare Your Oreo Cream Filling
Carefully twist apart your Oreo cookies, scraping all the cream filling into a medium bowl. You can save the cookie wafers for the coating, so don’t toss them! This is the most time-consuming part of making these no-bake Oreo treats, but put on some music and make it fun. I like to involve kids in this step—they love it!
Step 2: Create the Sushi “Rice”
Add 2 tablespoons of milk to your Oreo cream and mix until smooth and slightly softened. If the mixture seems too stiff to roll, add a bit more milk, one tablespoon at a time, until you reach a playdough-like consistency. This is your “sushi rice” base!
Step 3: Crush Your Cookies
Place your scraped Oreo cookies in a food processor or sealed plastic bag. Pulse or crush them until you have fine crumbs. These will serve as the outer coating for your Oreo sushi rolls, giving them that authentic dark appearance and adding a delightful crunch.
Step 4: Form Your Sushi Rolls
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the Oreo cream mixture and roll it into a ball or oblong shape between your palms. The shape is up to you—traditional sushi shapes are slightly oval, but balls work beautifully too. Work quickly, as the mixture can soften from the warmth of your hands.
Step 5: Coat in Cookie Crumbs
Roll each formed piece in the crushed Oreo crumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs adhere well. This creates that gorgeous dark exterior that makes these sweet sushi rolls so visually striking. Place your finished rolls on a parchment-lined plate or tray.
Step 6: Chill and Set
Refrigerate your Oreo sweet sushi for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This chilling time is important—it helps the rolls hold their shape and makes them easier to cut if you want to show off that beautiful cream center.
Step 7: Add Artistic Drizzles
Once chilled, transfer your rolls to a serving plate. Drizzle with chocolate sauce and caramel sauce in artistic patterns. Finish with a light dusting of powdered sugar through a fine-mesh sieve for that professional bakery look.
