<\/figure>\n\n\n\nWhy you will love these Oreo Balls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Whether you are making these for yourself or a cookie exchange party, it will be hard to find an easier recipe for Oreo Balls. I cut the recipe in half and used 20 Oreos and half the amount of cream cheese typically required. The math works out to about the same number of Oreo balls as the number of Oreos you use, so you are very welcome to scale down this recipe further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Just to be clear, you’ll get roughly 1 Oreo Ball truffle for each Oreo cookie you use. So, scale this recipe up or down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next time I have an ounce or two of leftover cream cheese from making small batch cinnamon rolls<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or my cheesecake for two<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, I will make another small batch of Oreo balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find yourself with a few remaining Oreos in the package, these are great to make! Plus, I also have cookies and cream cupcakes<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, and Oreo brownies<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, if you really need help using up those cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With only 4 ingredients, it’s really hard to find a dessert or snack recipe that is easier to whip up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These cookie truffles are essentially just smashed Oreos mixed with cream cheese, rolled in balls, and dunked in chocolate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Crush the cookies! The fastest way to smash the Oreos is to use a food processor. Make sure you crush the entire cooking, cream centers, and all.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Place the cookie crumbs in a bowl, and add the softened cream cheese and stir together. You can also add the cream cheese to the food processor, if you prefer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Using a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into balls. Use your hands to make the balls super smooth with no edges (so that the coating goes on well).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Place the truffles on a plate and freeze for 1 hour. repeat: you must freeze the balls for at least an hour before rolling.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Melt the white chocolate coating for dipping in two bowls. Add the mini chocolate chips to one bowl, and stir to dissolve. They usually melt easily with the residual heat of the white chocolate.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n Using a fork, dip each frozen oreo ball in the coating of choice. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to allow extra chocolate to drip off. Move the oreo truffles back to the plate that has been lined with parchment or wax paper. Move them back to the freezer or fridge to set, and serve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n The best way to store Oreo balls is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Heat is not an oreo truffle’s best friend. Keep these treats cool in the fridge and they’re ready to serve any time you need them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you like your chocolate outside layer to be a bit harder, you can store these balls in the refrigerator. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Besides freezing the Oreo Balls to set the cookie, you can also keep them in the freezer before you want to add the outer shell. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Because Oreo balls are kept cold in the fridge, they last for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container. If you want to get a jumpstart on holiday baking, you can make these 3 months in advance and freeze them. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the inside of your Oreo ball is wet, make sure you followed the recipe and used block cream cheese (not whipped), and make sure you froze the balls before attempting to dip them in chocolate. The truffles should be cold before dipping, otherwise the insides can soften and get a bit soggy when being dipped into hot, melted chocolate. Dip them in chocolate, and then immediately place in fridge to harden. However, if the outside of the Oreo ball is wet, it is just condensation from going from the fridge to room temperature. Move them back to the fridge for a bit. Going from the cold fridge to a warm room will make the surface sweat. The best way to prevent this is to store them in the fridge up until serving.<\/p> <\/div> While I have never seen pre crushed oreos at my grocery store, I have seen them online. However, I would not use pre crushed oreos for making oreo balls! Pre-crushed cookies are dryer and have much less moisture than freshly crushed.<\/p> <\/div> Keep your balls in the freezer, dude.<\/p> <\/div> <\/div>\n\n\n\n Want more?
