Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the Oreo Balls
  • 36 Oreo cookies regular, not double stuf
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
For the Chocolate Coating
  • 12 ounces chocolate melting wafers or chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon shortening or coconut oil optional, for thinning the chocolate
Optional Decoration
  • 2 –3 Oreo cookies crushed
  • Melted white chocolate or additional chocolate for drizzling

Method
 

  1. Crush the Oreos: Add the Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
  2. Mix with cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese and process until the mixture is thoroughly combined and forms a thick dough.
  3. Form the truffles: Scoop the mixture into approximately 24 equal portions and roll each portion between your hands to form smooth balls.
  4. Chill: Place the Oreo balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
  5. Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate according to the package directions. If needed, stir in a small amount of shortening or coconut oil to make the chocolate easier to dip.
  6. Dip the Oreo balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
  7. Decorate: Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with crushed Oreo cookies or drizzle with additional melted chocolate.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese: Softened cream cheese blends much more easily with the crushed Oreos.
  • Chill before dipping: Cold Oreo balls are firmer and much easier to coat in chocolate.
  • Don't overheat the chocolate: Melt the chocolate slowly to keep it smooth and easy to work with.
  • Make them ahead: These truffles are a great make-ahead dessert for holidays and parties.
  • Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
