Dangerously Delicious Oreo Balls

With just three simple ingredients, these chocolate Oreo balls come together in no time, making them ideal for any occasion, from holidays and birthdays to themed parties or a quick sweet treat. Their perfectly portioned size lets you satisfy sweet cravings without over-indulgence.

Recipe Ingredients

All you need is Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and chocolate to make these scrumptious Oreo truffles. While simple, make sure to check out the full details in the recipe card below.

Oreo cookies – you’ll need 28 Oreo cookies which is about two packets. Chocolate Oreo cookies or original Oreo cookies can be used
cream cheese – use full-fat cream cheese for best flavor and soften at room temperature for easy mixing
chocolate – milk chocolate, dark chocolate, or white chocolate can be used. You could also chop and melt chocolate bars or use chocolate chips
sprinkles – these are optional but add a festive touch, if desired. Add them while the chocolate-coated balls are still slightly wet

BAKING TIP: I find that roughly chopping the Oreo cookies with a knife before adding to the food processor makes the process easier for creating fine crumbs.

How To Make Oreo Balls

1

Roughly chop the Oreos and then process them into fine crumbs in a food processor.

2

Transfer the fine crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the cream cheese.

3

Mix until fully incorporated. You can use a mixer for this or by hand.

4

Roll the Oreo mixture into uniform balls and chill in the freezer to harden them slightly.

5

While the Oreo balls chill, melt the chocolate. Work in batches and dip each ball in chocolate.

6

Add sprinkles to the top of each ball while the chocolate is wet. Allow the Oreo balls to set.

BAKING TIP: Use a fork to submerge the truffle balls in the melted chocolate mixture so that any excess chocolate can easily drip off. I also like to place each chocolate-coated Oreo ball on a sheet of parchment paper as I work to reduce mess.

Storing Oreo Balls

Due to the cream cheese filling, these Oreo balls should be stored in an airtight container in the fridge and will last for up to 1 week.

Can I freeze these Oreo balls?

Yes, you can freeze these balls for up to 3 months in an airtight container. Chocolate bloom (white or gray streaks) may develop due to temperature changes, but it’s still safe to eat and doesn’t affect the delicious flavor of these treats. I wouldn’t freeze these cookie balls if you are trying to make them ahead of a special occasion.

Can I make these Oreo balls with candy melts?

Colored candy melts are great when making these Oreo balls for a particular holiday theme, such as pink for Valentine’s day. Learn how to temper chocolate without a thermometer for added convenience.

I don't like Oreos! What else can I use?

Feel free to use chocolate chip cookies like I’ve done for my chocolate chip cookies truffles or use another type of cookie. Shortbread cookies, Biscoff cookies, or ginger snaps all work beautifully too with the same method applied. For more inspiration, check out this delicious collection of cookie recipes.

Why do I need to chill the Oreo balls?

Chilling firms up the cookie and cream cheese mixture so the balls hold their shape and don’t fall apart or become misshapen when you dip them in warm melted chocolate.

Can I make gluten-free Oreo balls?

Yes, simply use gluten-free Oreo cookies (store-bought or homemade). The rest of the ingredients are naturally gluten-free, although you should always check the label of the sprinkles.

Can I crush the Oreo cookies by hand?

Use a food processor or high-speed blender for the finest, most even crumbs. A sealed bag crushed with a rolling pin works but may leave uneven chunks.

Is there a special tool I need for dipping the balls in chocolate?

A regular fork works just fine, although a special chocolate dipping fork makes the job even easier.

Ingredients

US Customary | Metric

28 Oreo cookies
100 grams cream cheese
350 grams chocolate
Sprinkles optional

Instructions

Roughly chop the cookies with a knife, then place the Oreo pieces in a food processor or blender and process until you have fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and add the cream cheese. Mash everything together with a fork, then continue mixing and kneading with your hands until combined.
You can also use a mixer for this, but it’s really easy to do by hand.
Roll the mixture into balls and place them in the freezer for a little while to firm up.
Meanwhile, get your sprinkles ready and melt the chocolate. Melt two-thirds of the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of gently simmering water. When it is almost completely melted, remove the bowl from the heat and add the remaining chocolate. Stir gently until all the chocolate has melted.
Is your chocolate too thick for dipping? Thin it with a little cocoa butter or neutral vegetable oil, such as sunflower oil.
Now it’s time to coat the Oreo balls in a delicious layer of chocolate. Keep a fork handy for easy dipping. A regular fork works just fine, although a special chocolate dipping fork makes the job even easier. You can also make your own by taking a plastic fork and breaking off the middle tine or tines.
Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer. It’s easiest to work in small batches of about four at a time. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate until completely coated. Lift it out with a fork and allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on a sheet of parchment paper. Immediately add sprinkles, if using.
Now all you have to do is be patient and wait for the chocolate coating to set completely.

Tips

A special chocolate dipping fork makes dipping the balls easier, although a regular forks too.
Line a baking sheet/tray with parchment paper to place the chocolate-dipped balls onto. This reduces mess and is easier for removing the set balls when ready to serve.

How to store

Not eating them all right away? Store the Oreo truffles in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Because the filling contains cream cheese, they should be kept chilled.
