Main Ingredients
- 24 Oreo Cookies (approximately 1 package), crushed finely
- 8 oz (225g) Cream Cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340g) Chocolate Chips or Melting Chocolate for coating
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Chopped Nuts
- Chocolate Drizzle
- Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine, even crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely crushed.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Use a spoon or your hands to knead the mixture until fully blended and smooth, forming a thick dough-like consistency.
- Form the Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for easy handling.
- Chill the Balls: Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up the Oreo Balls before dipping, which helps the coating adhere better.
- Dip in Chocolate: Melt your chocolate chips or melting chocolate gently in a microwave or double boiler. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, covering it completely. Place back on the parchment paper and add any optional toppings before the chocolate hardens.
- Final Chill: Let the dipped Oreo Balls set in the refrigerator for at least an hour to fully harden the chocolate coating. Once firm, they’re ready to serve or store.
Notes
- Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese for smooth blending without lumps.
- Do Not Overmix to maintain a soft texture.
- Chill Twice: before and after dipping for best shape and coating adhesion.
- Melt Chocolate Slowly using low heat to prevent seizing or burning.
- Use a Cookie Scoop for uniform size and easy rolling.
