Oreo Balls
Main Ingredients:
- 36 oreo cookies (crushed)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese (softened)

- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
Garnish Ingredients:
(none specified in original recipe)
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultrafine crumbs using a food processor or manually crushing within a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into the cookie crumbs, mixing thoroughly until a uniform, cohesive mixture forms.
- Craft uniform spherical portions by gently rolling the mixture into compact 1-inch diameter balls, positioning them strategically on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the cookie spheres in the freezer for approximately 15-20 minutes to firm their structure and enhance handling capabilities.
- Immerse each chilled ball completely into melted chocolate, ensuring total coverage and smooth exterior, then carefully return to the parchment-lined surface.
- Transfer the chocolate-coated treats to the refrigerator, allowing them to rest until the chocolate coating solidifies and develops a glossy, crisp finish, typically requiring 10-15 minutes of cooling time.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without large cookie chunks for better binding and easier rolling.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to blend seamlessly with cookie crumbs, preventing lumps and creating a creamy, uniform mixture.
- Chill the balls before dipping in chocolate to help them maintain shape and prevent crumbling during the chocolate coating process.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like white, dark, or milk chocolate to create variety and suit different taste preferences.
