Description
These easy, no-bake Oreo Truffle Balls are creamy, chocolatey, and perfect for parties or a quick dessert fix. Made with just three main ingredients, they’re a crowd-pleasing treat that comes together in under 30 minutes.
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies (about 14.3 oz / 405g)
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers (for coating)
- Optional: Sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of white chocolate for decoration
- Optional: Sea salt flakes for topping
Instructions
- Place 36 Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender and pulse until you have fine, even crumbs. (Alternatively, crush cookies in a sealed zip-top bag with a rolling pin.)
- Transfer Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add 8 oz softened cream cheese.
- Mix until fully combined and the mixture looks like thick, sticky dough. Use a hand mixer or sturdy spoon.
- Using a small cookie scoop (about 1-inch), scoop out the mixture and roll between your palms to form smooth balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet (makes about 24-30 truffles).
- Refrigerate the rolled truffle balls for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes, until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 12 oz chocolate chips or melting wafers in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth. (Alternatively, use a double boiler.)
- Using two forks, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Tap off excess chocolate and return to the parchment-lined sheet.
- While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or sea salt if desired.
- Return the truffles to the fridge for at least 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm.
- Transfer to a platter or airtight container and store in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
For best results, use room temperature cream cheese and finely crush the Oreos. Chill the truffle mixture and shaped balls thoroughly before dipping to prevent them from falling apart. Use good-quality chocolate for a smooth, glossy finish. Decorate while the chocolate is still wet. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months. Easily adapt for gluten-free or dairy-free diets by substituting cookies and cream cheese.
