Ingredients

36 Oreos Original (not double stuffed)
1 package cream cheese, full fat (8 oz)
2-3 cups melted chocolate (white or semisweet)
¼ cup additional Oreos, crushed (for topping)

Instructions

Step 1: Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you achieve fine crumbs.
Step 2: Add the cream cheese to the crumbs and pulse again until the mixture is well combined.
Step 3: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into bite-sized balls.
Step 4: Place the balls on a tray lined with wax paper or parchment paper and chill in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
Step 5: Remove the chilled balls from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate until fully coated.
Step 6: Place the chocolate-covered balls back on the lined tray. If desired, sprinkle with crushed Oreos before the chocolate sets.
Step 7: Allow the chocolate to set for 15-20 minutes at room temperature, then enjoy your Oreo truffles!

Tips & Variations

Use semisweet or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
Chill the cream cheese beforehand to make mixing easier and the texture firmer.
For a festive touch, drizzle contrasting chocolate over the set truffles.
If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Storage

Store the Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. If you want to keep them longer, freeze in a sealed container for up to three months. To serve, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes for a softer texture. Reheat chocolate lightly if needed to restore shine.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cream cheese for this recipe?

While you can substitute low-fat cream cheese, full-fat cream cheese gives a creamier texture and better flavor, making it the preferred choice for the best results.

Do I need a food processor to crush the Oreos?

No, if you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or heavy pan until fine crumbs form.

Delicious and easy-to-make Oreo Truffles, also known as Oreo Balls, combining crushed Oreos and creamy full-fat cream cheese, dipped in melted white or semisweet chocolate for a rich, bite-sized treat perfect for parties and gifting.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

36 Oreos (Original, not double stuffed)
1 package cream cheese (full fat, 8 oz)

Chocolate Coating

2–3 cups melted chocolate (white or semisweet)
¼ cup additional Oreos, crushed (for topping)

Instructions

Crush Oreos: Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you achieve fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large chunks remaining for a smooth mixture.
Combine with Cream Cheese: Add the full-fat cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and pulse several times until the mixture is thoroughly combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Form Balls: Scoop small portions of the Oreo mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are smooth and compact.
Chill: Place the Oreo balls on a cookie tray lined with wax or parchment paper and chill them in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up for easier dipping.
Dip in Chocolate: Remove the chilled balls from the freezer and dip each one into melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool to ensure an even coating.
Optional Topping: Immediately after dipping, sprinkle the dipped balls with additional crushed Oreos before the chocolate sets, adding extra texture and flavor.
Set Chocolate: Place the dipped truffles back on the lined tray and allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes until firm.
Serve & Enjoy: Once the chocolate is fully set, enjoy the Oreo truffles as a delightful treat or store them in the refrigerator for later consumption.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese instead of low-fat or fat-free versions.
You can substitute white chocolate with semisweet or dark chocolate according to preference.
Ensure the Oreo balls are well chilled before dipping to prevent melting and to achieve a smooth chocolate coating.
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Try adding sprinkles or colored sugar on top for festive occasions.
