Easy Oreo Balls (Oreo Truffles)
These oreo balls are made with only 3 ingredients! These oreo balls are covered with chocolate and are perfect for Christmas or any other day!
Ingredients
- 36 Oreos
- 230 g Cream cheese
- 250 g Semisweet chocolate melted
Instructions
- Start by crushing the Oreos. The best way to crush Oreos is in a food processor or in a blender. If you don’t have a food processor or a blender, place the Oreos in a ziplock bag and smash them with a cup until fine crumbs form.
- Transfer the Oreos to a medium-sized bowl and set aside.
- Add the room temperature cream cheese into a big mixing bowl, and mix with an electric hand mixer for 2-3 minutes or until the cream cheese is creamy and silky.
- Add the oreo crumbs to the cream cheese and mix until well combined.
- Use a small cookie scoop to scoop out the oreo balls (or about 1 tbsp). Roll them into balls using your hands and place them onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 20 minutes so they will not crumble when you dip them into the chocolate.
- Melt the chocolate and mix it until it’s smooth and silky without any lumps. Place each oreo on a fork or a spoon and gently dip it into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to drizzle more chocolate on top.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate with another spoon until it’s nicely coated, and then tap the excess chocolate by tapping the fork or the spoon on the side of the bowl.
- Carefully place each oreo ball onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. I like to use a small skewer to help place the oreo balls on the baking sheet.
- If you are using oreo crumbs for decoration, immediately sprinkle the crumbs on top of the oreo balls so the crumbs will stick to the chocolate.
- Place the chocolate-coated oreo balls in the fridge to firm up for about 30 minutes.
- Serve these as is or drizzle melted chocolate on top of the oreo balls. We like to drizzle white chocolate on the semisweet chocolate-covered oreo balls, and semisweet chocolate on the white chocolate-covered oreo balls.
Notes
Add some of your favorite add-ins! Make this recipe your own and add your favorite muffins add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, chopped pecans, chocolate chunks, M&M, caramel sauce, white chocolate, kinder, toffee, and more! Be creative!
Make sure you line your baking pan with parchment paper to prevent the oreo balls to stick to the pan.
Make sure that your cream cheese is at room temperature. An hour or two before making these treats, take the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it come to room temperature. The cream cheese should be soft to the touch. If your cream cheese is too cold, it will be harder to mix and there will be lumps in the batter of the oreo balls.
Use a cookies scoop to scoop out the balls, that way you will have even-sized balls, plus it ensures that your balls cool evenly.
Keep the oreo balls chilled in the fridge before serving. if you place the oreo balls at room temperature, the chocolate may melt.
Use whole fat cream cheese. Don't use low fat in this recipe. light cream cheese can be not as rich in flavor and not as creamy.
Use regular oreo for this recipe. Don't use double stuffed Oreos for this recipe, the double stuffed Oreos contain too much stuffing and it will ruin your oreo balls.
