Ingredients
Scale
Oreo Cookies:
- 1 package (14.3 oz / 405 g) oreo cookies
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
Coating:
- 16 oz (454 g) white chocolate melting wafers
- 16 oz (454 g) milk chocolate melting wafers
Decorative Toppings:
- 2 tbsp crushed oreo cookies
- 2 tbsp chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- Pulse the entire package of Oreo cookies in a food processor until finely ground into uniform crumbs, creating a smooth, consistent texture.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large mixing bowl and incorporate softened cream cheese, mixing thoroughly until a cohesive, moldable dough forms.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, shape the mixture into compact, uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter, placing them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the formed balls in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up, ensuring they maintain their shape during coating.
- Melt white chocolate and milk chocolate wafers separately in microwave-safe bowls, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into melted chocolate, using a fork to carefully coat and tap off excess, then return to the parchment-lined sheet.
- While chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle half the balls with crushed Oreo crumbs and the other half with chocolate sprinkles for visual variety.
- Refrigerate the decorated Oreo balls for 10-15 minutes until chocolate sets completely, creating a crisp, smooth exterior.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, allowing flavors to meld and texture to remain firm.
Notes
- Grinding Oreos completely ensures a smooth, consistent base for your no-bake balls, preventing any large cookie chunks that might disrupt the texture.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to blend seamlessly with cookie crumbs, creating a perfect dough that’s easy to shape and holds together well.
- Chilling the formed balls before coating helps maintain their shape and prevents crumbling during the chocolate dipping process, resulting in cleaner, more professional-looking treats.
- Experiment with alternative coatings like crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or different chocolate varieties to customize the flavor and appearance of your Oreo balls.
