Recipe Ingredients
Find the full printable recipe with specific measurements below.
- Oreo cookies: I crush half Oreo cookies with the filling and half without the filling to give them just the right amount of sweetness in this quick dessert.
- Cream cheese: A block of room temperature cream cheese gives Oreo balls a slight tang.
- Chocolate: I use Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers (white and milk chocolate) because they melt easily, but choose whatever chocolate you like best for a smooth finish.
How to Make Oreo Balls
These Oreo truffle balls are easy to make and are a similar to a chocolate truffle but with an irresistible rich Oreo cream cheese filling.
- Crush Oreos. The best way to crush oreos is to place them in a blender or food processor. You can also place them in a zip top bag and smash with a rolling pin.
- Mix together the Oreo crumbs and cream cheese with a hand mixer. If it isn’t coming together, get your hands in there and mix it up.
- Scoop and freeze. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the dough. Then roll into a ball and place on the pan. Freeze for 10-15 minutes or until slightly firm.
- Dip in the melted chocolate using a fork, tap side of bowl to remove excess chocolate, place on lined baking sheet and decorate as desired.
Recipe Tips
- Room temperature cream cheese. Remember to soften cream cheese. If it’s too cold it won’t mix with the Oreo crumbs. If the Oreo balls are losing their shape, your cream cheese was too warm. Place mixture in fridge for a few minutes.
- Let chocolate cool for a few minutes before dipping. If your chocolate is too hot your balls will start to fall apart. I like to wait around 5 minutes before dipping.
- Decorate immediately: Use different colored melting wafers or use a white chocolate base with sprinkles on top to match the holiday. Add the sprinkles right to the truffle balls after dipping to ensure they stick.
- Holiday variation: To make Christmas Oreo balls I used white chocolate to dip and added red and green sprinkles with some holly berries. Add crushed candy canes to make peppermint Oreo balls. So fun and festive!
