Ingredients

36 regular Oreo cookies
1 (8-ounce) package brick-style cream cheese, softened (226 grams)
16 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or white chocolate all work great) (452 grams)

Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies finely using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is well blended and holds together.
Step 3: Roll the mixture into small 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 4: Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Step 5: Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler until smooth.
Step 6: Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball and let excess chocolate drip off.
Step 7: Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet and let the chocolate set completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Tips & Variations

For added texture, sprinkle crushed Oreos or colored sprinkles over the balls before the chocolate sets.
Use flavored cream cheese, such as strawberry or chocolate, for a twist on the classic flavor.
White chocolate pairs beautifully with these treats if you want a sweeter, creamier coating.
Store the balls in a single layer to prevent sticking, with parchment paper between layers if stacking.

Storage

Store Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before serving, allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes for the best flavor and texture. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months; just thaw in the refrigerator before eating.

How to Serve

A white speckled plate holds an arrangement of round truffles in two main colors: dark chocolate brown and white chocolate. The dark chocolate truffles have a matte texture with some topped with fine chocolate crumbs and others drizzled with thin lines of dark chocolate. The white chocolate truffles are smooth and glossy, decorated with dark chocolate crumbs and some thin drizzles of dark chocolate as well. The truffles are stacked closely together, with whole sandwich cookies partially visible under and around them, adding a darker black and white contrast. The plate sits on a white marbled surface. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can substitute Oreos with any sandwich cookie of your choice, but keep in mind the flavor and texture will change accordingly.

Do I have to refrigerate the Oreo Balls?

Refrigerating helps the balls firm up and the chocolate coating set properly, so it’s recommended. They can be kept at room temperature for short periods but store them in the fridge for longer freshness.

Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Ball Mixture

36 regular Oreo cookies
1 (8-ounce) package brick-style cream cheese, softened (226 grams)

Chocolate Coating

16 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or white chocolate, 452 grams)

Instructions

Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them using a rolling pin or heavy object until finely ground.
Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until well combined and smooth, forming a consistent dough-like mixture.
Form Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small, evenly sized balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 1 hour or freeze for about 20 minutes, allowing them to firm up and become easier to dip in chocolate.
Melt the Chocolate: While the balls chill, gently melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently, until fully smooth.
Coat the Oreo Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is completely covered. Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then place back onto the lined baking sheet.
Set the Coating: Refrigerate the coated Oreo balls again for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is firm and set.
Serve and Store: Once set, serve the Oreo balls chilled or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

Notes

You can use any variety of chocolate for coating, including white or milk chocolate, to customize the flavor.
For added decoration, drizzle contrasting melted chocolate over the set balls or sprinkle with crushed Oreos or sprinkles before the coating sets.
Make sure the cream cheese is properly softened for easy mixing.
Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling.
Do not over-melt the chocolate to avoid seizing; stir frequently while heating.
