Oreo Cookie Roll for Halloween

topcook.tomathouse.com

Ingredients:

  • 1 package of double-cream chocolate sandwich cookies (430g), such as Oreo Double Stuf
  • 220 g of cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp. whole milk
  • 110 g (8 tbsp) unsalted butter, room temperature
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • Coarse salt
  • 170 g marshmallows (about 24 pcs.)
  • Orange gel food coloring
  • Gummy spiders for decoration

Preparation:

  1. Scrape the cream filling from the cookies into a small bowl and set aside. Transfer the cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form, about 20 pulses. Add the cream cheese and pulse, scraping down the sides of the bowl to distribute evenly, until a thick dough forms, about 15 pulses. Add 1 tablespoon of milk if the mixture is too thick (it should be the consistency of sugar cookie dough).
  2. Place the dough on a large piece of plastic wrap on a work surface. Cover with another large piece of plastic wrap and roll it out with a rolling pin into a 22x32 cm rectangle. Set aside.
  3. In the same food processor, combine the butter and cream cheese filling and process until smooth, about 30 seconds. Add 1 cup of powdered sugar and process until fully incorporated. Add the remaining 1 cup of powdered sugar and a pinch of salt and process until fully incorporated. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of milk and process until the cream is light and fluffy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Place the dough rectangle with the shorter side facing you. Remove the plastic wrap and spread the buttercream evenly to the edges on three sides of the rectangle, leaving a 1 cm border on your side.
  5. Roll the roll from the edge opposite you, using the plastic wrap as a guide, and place it seam-side down. Wrap the roll tightly in plastic wrap and fold the ends over the sides. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
  6. When ready to serve, unroll the roll and transfer it to a serving platter.
  7. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows with 12 drops of orange gel food coloring and microwave until softened, about 1 minute. Stir well to ensure an even color, then let cool slightly, about 1 minute. Put on disposable gloves and dip your fingers into the melted marshmallows. Pull out a thin, gossamer-thin thread and cover the roll with it. While the web is still sticky, decorate it with gummy spiders. Let it set for about 10 minutes. Slice and serve immediately.
