On the left and center are smooth, dark brown truffles with a glossy chocolate coating, some topped with small crushed cookie bits and a few sprinkled with tiny colorful sugar crystals in red, yellow, and pink. On the right are creamy white truffles with a smooth finish and thin white chocolate stripes drizzled on top.

Ingredients

36 (14.3oz/405g) regular Oreo cookies (not Double-Stuf)
8 ounces (226g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
12 ounces (339g) semi-sweet or white chocolate, coarsely chopped
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil or coconut oil
Optional for garnish: sprinkles, Oreo crumbs, additional melted chocolate

Instructions

Make the Oreo truffle filling: Place the whole Oreos, including filling, in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely ground.
Combine with cream cheese: In a mixer or the same food processor, beat the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese until fully mixed and smooth.
Form balls: Use a tablespoon to scoop about 18–22g of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If the mixture is sticky, chill for 15 minutes before rolling. Cover and refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days, or freeze for 30 minutes if short on time.
Melt the chocolate: Combine chopped chocolate and oil in a microwave-safe bowl or a 2-cup liquid measuring cup. Melt in 20-second intervals, stirring well after each until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler. Let cool for 5 minutes before dipping.
Coat the Oreo balls: Dip each ball individually into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat completely. Lift with a fork or dipping tool and gently tap off excess chocolate. Slide the coated ball onto a parchment-lined plate using a toothpick or by inverting the dipping tool.
Add garnishes (optional): While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with sprinkles or Oreo crumbs. You can also drizzle additional melted chocolate over the tops for decoration.
Set and store: Refrigerate the coated balls for at least 1 hour to let the chocolate harden before serving.

Tips & Variations

If the mixture feels too soft to roll, chill it longer to make shaping easier.
Try using white chocolate or dark chocolate for different flavors.
Experiment with different toppings like chopped nuts or shredded coconut instead of sprinkles.

Storage

Store Oreo balls in an airtight container layered with parchment or wax paper in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 2 weeks. For best texture, bring to room temperature for a few minutes before serving. You can also freeze them, but thaw in the fridge to avoid condensation forming on the chocolate coating.

How to Serve

FAQs

Can I use Double-Stuf Oreos for this recipe?

Regular Oreos are recommended because the cream filling is already combined with the cream cheese. Double-Stuf Oreos have extra filling, which can make the mixture too soft and sticky.

How do I prevent the chocolate from melting the Oreo balls when dipping?

Allow the melted chocolate to cool for about 5 minutes after melting. Using chocolate that’s too hot can cause the Oreo balls to soften or melt when dipped.
