Description
Oreo Cookie Balls are a quick, no-bake dessert made with just three simple ingredients: Oreos, cream cheese, and chocolate. These bite-sized truffles are rich, creamy, and perfect for holidays, parties, or edible gifting. Easy to customize with different toppings, they’re a fun and delicious treat everyone will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 30 regular Oreo cookies: crushed for rich chocolate flavor and texture
- 5–6 oz cream cheese (softened): binds the mixture and adds creaminess
- 10–12 oz chocolate of choice: for dipping and coating
- Optional: decorations like sprinkles, crushed Oreos, nuts, or candy
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Crush Oreo cookies using a food processor or by hand with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Add softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and blend until a smooth, dough-like mixture forms. Add more cream cheese if needed.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator or freezer for 15–20 minutes.
- While chilling, melt your chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring frequently.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate using a fork. Tap off excess chocolate and place back onto the baking sheet.
- Immediately add toppings like sprinkles or crushed Oreos before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate for another 10–15 minutes until the chocolate coating is firm.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Use regular Oreos (not double-stuffed) for better texture and binding.
- Bar chocolate melts better than chocolate chips for a smoother coating.
- Chill the balls before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
- Use a cookie scoop for even-sized balls.
- Decorate immediately after dipping for toppings to stick well.
