Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Coating:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) chocolate (white, milk, or dark), melted
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese in a large bowl until a uniform, moldable consistency forms.
- Roll the mixture into compact, uniform 1-inch spheres using clean hands.
- Transfer the formed balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to solidify.
- Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully liquefied.
- Carefully dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Gently tap off excess chocolate and return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or quickly chill in the refrigerator until the coating hardens.
- Store the completed Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Chill the cream cheese before mixing to ensure a smoother, easier-to-blend texture that prevents crumbling.
- Use a food processor to crush Oreos uniformly, creating a more consistent mixture with no large cookie chunks.
- For dietary variations, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free or vegan alternatives to accommodate different nutritional needs.
- Experiment with chocolate coatings like white, dark, or milk chocolate to add variety and personalize the Oreo balls’ flavor profile.
