Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 1 store-bought or homemade vanilla cake (flat sheet style)
• 1 cup marshmallow fluff or creme
• 6 chocolate chip cookies (or chocolate bars, chopped)
• 1/2 cup graham crackers, crushed
• 1/4 cup chocolate syrup or ganache (for drizzle)
• Optional: mini marshmallows, for extra gooey texture

Directions

1. Prepare the Cake: If using homemade cake, bake a thin vanilla sheet cake and allow it to cool completely. Use parchment paper or a baking mat to prevent sticking.
2. Spread Marshmallow Fluff: Carefully spread an even layer of marshmallow fluff or creme across the surface of the cooled cake.
3. Add the Chocolate Center: Arrange chocolate chip cookies or chopped chocolate in a line along one edge of the cake. You may also add a few mini marshmallows here for an extra gooey center.
4. Roll the Cake: Gently roll the cake into a log, starting at the edge with the chocolate. Use parchment paper or plastic wrap to help guide the roll tightly without cracking.
5. Chill if Needed: Place the rolled cake in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes to firm up and make slicing easier.
6. Slice and Top: Slice the cake log into 1–2 inch thick sushi-style rounds.
7. Garnish: Sprinkle each piece with crushed graham crackers and drizzle with chocolate syrup or ganache before serving.

Storage/Reheating

FAQs

Can I use store-bought cake?

Yes, a pre-made flat vanilla sheet cake makes this recipe quick and easy. Be sure it’s flexible enough to roll.

What if my cake cracks when rolling?

Chilling the cake briefly and rolling slowly using parchment paper can help prevent cracking. A slightly warm cake can also be more pliable.

Can I use marshmallows instead of fluff?

Marshmallow fluff spreads more easily, but softened mini marshmallows can be used as a filling layer if preferred.

Bake a thin vanilla cake in a jelly roll pan using your favorite cake mix or recipe. Be sure not to overbake so it remains flexible.

Can this recipe be made gluten-free?

Yes, use a gluten-free cake and cookies, and ensure all other ingredients (including graham crackers) are gluten-free certified.

What’s the best way to serve this dessert?

Serve chilled or at room temperature on a platter, and drizzle with chocolate right before serving for the best presentation.

Can I make this ahead of time?
