Ingredients
Scale
- 25–30 Regular Oreo Cookies (use the whole cookie!)
- 80g Cream Cheese (about 1/3 of an 8oz block), must be softened
- 40–50g Semi-Sweet Chocolate (chips, wafers, or chopped bar – use more if you like a thick coat!)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor or a sealed bag and rolling pin, crush the entire Oreo cookies (filling included!) into very fine crumbs. No big chunks allowed!
- Mix the Filling: In a medium bowl, mix the fine Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Stir well (a spatula or hand mixer works) until it’s all combined into a thick, dark dough. Don’t overmix!
- Roll ’em Up: Scoop out portions (about 1 tablespoon size) and roll gently between your hands into smooth balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Makes about 7-8 balls.
- Chill #1 (Super Important!): Freeze the rolled balls for 15-20 minutes (or refrigerate 30-40 mins). They need to be firm for dipping! Don’t skip this!
- Melt the Chocolate: While balls chill, gently melt the chocolate. Microwave in short bursts (stirring often!) or use a double boiler until smooth. Let it cool slightly.
- Dip Away!: Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, coating it completely (forks work great!). Let excess chocolate drip off by tapping the fork on the bowl edge.
- Place & Decorate (Optional): Place coated balls back onto the lined baking sheet. If you want sprinkles or toppings, add them now while the chocolate is wet.
- Chill #2 (The Final Set): Refrigerate the dipped balls for at least 30 minutes for the chocolate shell to harden completely.
Notes
- Serving: Best served chilled straight from the fridge! Great with coffee or milk.
- Tips & Tricks:
- Make sure cream cheese is soft for smooth mixing. Block-style works best!
- Crush Oreos really fine.
- The pre-dip chill is key to prevent them from falling apart in the warm chocolate.
- For easier dipping, use chocolate melting wafers or add ¼ tsp coconut oil to melting chips if they seem thick.
- Storage: Keep leftover Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months (thaw in the fridge).
