Description
These easy no-bake Oreo balls are made with just 3 ingredients and are perfect for beginner cooks. A delicious, customizable treat ideal for parties, holidays, or gifting.
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 regular Oreo cookies
- 1 (8-ounce) brick-style cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces chocolate (semi-sweet, milk, or white)
- Optional: sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or sea salt for topping
Instructions
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and smashing with a rolling pin. Reserve 1–2 tablespoons of crumbs for topping.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and a thick dough forms.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and roll into balls with your hands. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the Oreo balls for 20 minutes to firm them up before coating in chocolate.
- While the balls chill, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring between each until smooth.
- Dip each Oreo ball in the melted chocolate using a fork. Tap off excess chocolate and place the coated ball back on the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs or toppings on while the chocolate is still wet.
- Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 20 minutes or until the chocolate sets. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese for best results. Avoid whipped or tub varieties.
- If you don’t have a food processor, a rolling pin and zip-top bag work fine for crushing cookies.
- To prevent sticking, always use parchment paper when chilling or dipping the balls.
- Try different Oreo flavors for fun variations—mint, golden, peanut butter, or even gluten-free.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.
