It’s delightful watching familiar foods transform into something unexpected, right? Well, that’s exactly why Oreo Sushi, the internet’s latest trendy dessert, caught so much attention. It literally picks up the neat, rolled elegance of sushi and replaces every serious element with something playful.
Imagine cookie crumbs in place of rice and silky cream instead of fillings. What’s more? The tiny, round slices look almost too pretty to eat. The trend first swept across TikTok because it’s quick to make and oddly satisfying to roll and slice. Of course, it also looks dramatic on camera.
One minute you have a stack of cookies, and the next you have glossy little “maki” rolls. Understandably, writers and food pages soon picked it up. Hence, this quirky treat turned into a global snack moment. Let’s uncover what Oreo Sushi is all about.
Two Ways to Roll: Classic TikTok Method and the Cadbury Twist
People have created their own versions of the Oreo Sushi, but these two clearly stand out. They are simple, hands-on, and delightfully scrumptious. While the TikTok version is quite easy with just 2 ingredients, the version by Cadbury elevates it, without complicating it.
TikTok-Style Version
Ingredients
- 1 packet of Oreo cookies
- 3–4 tablespoons heavy cream
Quick Directions
- Twist the cookies apart and scoop off the cream; keep it aside.
- Crush the cookies in a processor (or smash them in a bag if you want to do it old-school). Do it until you get those fine, dark crumbs.
- Work in 3 tablespoons of heavy cream until the crumbs soften entirely. Make sure you can knead it into a dough that holds together. Add the last spoonful only if it feels dry.
- Press the dough between two sheets of parchment and roll it out into a thin rectangle.
- Blend the saved cream with the remaining heavy cream to make a soft filling. Then, spread it right across the sheet and make sure to coat evenly.
- Roll everything into a tight log and wrap it up. And then let it rest in the fridge for around two hours.
- Slice the chilled roll into rounds that look like tiny dessert sushi pieces.
Cadbury Version
Ingredients
- 1 packet of Oreo cookies
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon powdered pistachios
- 1 teaspoon powdered almonds
Quick Directions
- Remove the cookie cream and grind the cookies into crumbs.
- Warm the milk slightly and mix it into the crumbs until a smooth dough forms. Then let it rest for a few minutes.
- Here comes the actual twist: combine the cookie cream with pistachio and almond powders. Then, add a touch of milk until it becomes easy to spread.
- Roll the crumb dough into a soft sheet.
- Now, spread the nutty cream mixture, and roll it up neatly.
- Chill for at least an hour, then slice into pretty swirl pieces.
Serving Ideas, Finishing Touches, and Fun Add-Ons
A few quick ideas to make your Oreo sushi even more fun and delicious:
- Let the roll chill properly so the slices keep their shape.
- Place the roll inside an empty cardboard tube while chilling if you want cleaner edges.
- Use milk instead of cream if you prefer a lighter texture.
- Add small extras like chopped nuts or candy sprinkles to the filling for color.
- Serve the slices on a wooden sushi board for an extra bit of theatre.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container; even room temperature works for a week. If you decide to keep it in the fridge, it can last a bit longer.
End Notes
Oreo Sushi shines because it’s fun, a little whimsical, and totally made for sharing. Whether you want to share it with your loved ones on the table or on your social media feed.
Try the quick TikTok version when you want something fast, or go for the nuttier Cadbury-style one when you want a bit more richness. Either way, it delivers charming little bites that feel familiar and new at the same time.
