Oreo Cream Crepe Rolls
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 4 large eggs at room temperature
- 2 cups whole milk
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter melted and cooled
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 16 Oreo cookies finely crushed
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- Additional butter for greasing pan
Equipment
- electric mixer
- non-stick skillet
- spatula
Method
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, granulated sugar, and salt until fully combined.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and add the eggs, milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk vigorously until the batter becomes smooth and free of lumps, then let it rest for 15 minutes at room temperature to allow the flour to hydrate.
- While the batter rests, prepare the filling by beating the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add the heavy cream and powdered sugar, then whip on high speed until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Gently fold in the crushed Oreo cookies until evenly distributed.
- Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet or crepe pan over medium heat and lightly grease with butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the center of the pan, immediately tilting and rotating the pan to spread the batter into a thin, even circle. Cook until the edges lift easily and the bottom is lightly golden, about 1-2 minutes.
- Flip the crepe using a spatula and cook for another 30-45 seconds until set. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, stacking cooked crepes with parchment paper between them to prevent sticking.
- Lay one crepe flat on a clean surface and spread 2-3 tablespoons of the Oreo cream filling evenly across the surface, leaving a 1/2-inch border around the edges. Roll tightly into a cylinder shape and repeat with remaining crepes and filling.
- Chill the rolled crepes in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the filling to firm up slightly for cleaner slicing.

Let us know how it was!Adapting for a Sugar-Conscious Kitchen
I love sharing food with everyone around my table, and that often means thinking about sugar content for friends and family who are mindful of their intake. This Oreo Cream Crepe Rolls recipe can be adapted beautifully. For a low-sugar version, consider using a natural sweetener like stevia in the filling, and look for sugar-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
Portion control is another friendly approach; sometimes, a smaller slice is just as satisfying. A little tweak can make this a more glucose-friendly option while keeping all the joy of a shared dessert.
My Pro-Tips for Perfect Oreo Cream Crepe Rolls
Over the years, I’ve learned a few tricks that make this recipe truly shine. It’s the little things that turn a good dessert into a great one.
- For a Flavor Twist: Try using different Oreo flavors, like mint or peanut butter, for a fun variation on the whipped Oreo cookie cream rolls.
- A Lighter Option: For a less rich filling, you can use lower-fat cream cheese, though the texture will be a bit less creamy.
- Crepe Perfection: Let your batter rest for the full 15 minutes! This allows the gluten to relax, giving you those wonderfully soft crepes we’re after.
- Storage Smarts: These rolls keep beautifully in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. The flavors meld together even more, which is just lovely. If you love make-ahead desserts, my cherry cheesecake ice cream is another fantastic option.
Getting the fluffy cream cheese filling for crepes just right is key. Make sure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature to avoid lumps. For more tips on working with desserts, check out my guide for creating the perfect Oreo pie crust.
A Look at Nutrition & Enjoyment
While this is certainly a treat, I believe understanding what we’re eating helps us enjoy it mindfully. This dessert provides energy from carbohydrates and a bit of protein from the dairy and eggs. The key, as with any indulgence, is savoring it as part of a balanced approach.
For those interested in healthier swaps, you can explore my frozen yogurt recipe for a lighter frozen dessert. Remember, enjoying food with loved ones is nourishment for the soul, too. For more detailed guidance on balanced eating, you can find great resources on platforms like proper crepe rolling technique which discusses portioning.
Creating a Lighter Version
If you’re looking for a way to lighten up this dessert, a few simple swaps can make a difference. Using Neufchâtel cheese instead of full-fat cream cheese will reduce the fat content slightly. For the crepes themselves, you can use a lower-fat milk, though the texture may be a touch less rich.
Sometimes, I’ll even make mini Oreo Cream Crepe Rolls using smaller crepes for portion control. They’re adorable and perfect for a party platter. For another dessert that feels indulgent but can be made lighter, my snickerdoodle ice cream is a family favorite. If you love the combination of cookies and cream, my cookies and cream cookies offer that flavor in a different form.
Serving Your Oreo Cream Crepe Rolls with Love
I love serving these rolls on my grandmother’s ceramic platter. It reminds me of Sunday dinners at her house, where dessert was always a celebrated event. Presenting food beautifully is part of the joy, I think.
For a stunning presentation, dust the rolls with a little extra powdered sugar or drizzle them with melted chocolate. They pair wonderfully with a cup of coffee or a glass of cold milk. They’re the star of the show, so I usually serve them on their own, but a few fresh berries on the side add a lovely pop of color and freshness.
This no-bake Oreo dessert is ideal for a potluck or birthday party. For more party inspiration, my cookie brownie Oreo stack cake is always a hit, and if you’re a chocolate-peanut butter fan, don’t miss my chocolate peanut butter crepes.
Common Mistakes (So You Can Avoid Them)
We’ve all had kitchen hiccups, and I’m no exception! Learning from them is how we grow as cooks. Here are a few common pitfalls with this Oreo Cream Crepe Rolls recipe and how to steer clear.
- Rushing the Batter Rest: Skipping the 15-minute rest for the crepe batter can lead to tough crepes. Patience here gives you a tender texture.
- Overfilling the Crepes: Too much of that delicious Oreo cream filling can make rolling difficult and cause the rolls to split. A thin, even layer is best.
- Skipping the Chill Time: Not chilling the rolls before slicing is a recipe for a messy plate. The firm-up time is crucial for neat presentation.

Remember, cooking is a journey. Every mistake is just a step towards your next great dish.
Storing Your Leftover Sweet Rolls
It always makes me smile to have a little something sweet waiting in the fridge for the next day. These rolls store beautifully. Simply place them in a single layer in an airtight container—I often use my glass baking dish with a lid—and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
I don’t recommend freezing them, as the creamy filling can become icy and the crepes might get soggy upon thawing. They are best enjoyed fresh. For a dessert that freezes wonderfully, though, my banana cinnamon rolls are perfect. And if you end up with extra Oreos, my Oreo brownie recipe is a fantastic way to use them!

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make the crepes ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can make the crepes a day in advance. Just let them cool completely, then stack them with parchment paper in between and store them wrapped tightly in the refrigerator. This makes assembling your Oreo Cream Crepe Rolls even faster the next day.
What’s the best way to crush the Oreos for the filling?
I find using a food processor gives you the most even, fine crumbs for a smooth whipped Oreo cookie cream. If you don’t have one, place the cookies in a sturdy zip-top bag and roll over them with a rolling pin until they’re finely crushed.
My cream filling is too runny. How can I fix it?
A runny filling often means the cream wasn’t whipped to stiff peaks, or the cream cheese was too warm. Pop the whole mixing bowl into the fridge for 20-30 minutes to chill, then try whipping it again. This usually does the trick for firming up that fluffy cream cheese filling for crepes.
Can I use a different type of cookie?
You certainly can! This is a versatile no-bake Oreo dessert crepe recipe. Try it with other sandwich cookies, like golden Oreos or even chocolate chip cookies. For another creative cookie dessert, check out my cookies and cream cookies for more inspiration.
