Ingredients
Scale
1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo Cookies
8 oz cream cheese, softened
16 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted for coating
Instructions
Place the entire package of Oreo cookies, filling included, into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese.
Mix the crumbs and cream cheese together using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon until the mixture is completely combined and forms a thick dough.
Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up before dipping.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate according to package directions. You can use a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the ball out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined sheet. If desired, immediately sprinkle with crushed Oreo pieces or festive sprinkles.
Return the finished Oreo Balls to the refrigerator until the chocolate coating is completely set, about 15 to 20 minutes.
Notes
For the smoothest coating, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to the melted chocolate. This helps thin the chocolate slightly.
If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them thoroughly with a rolling pin.
These Oreo Truffles store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
