These Oreo Balls are a creamy, no-bake treat made with just three main ingredients. They are perfect for last-minute desserts, potlucks, or satisfying a chocolate craving. The recipe is simple, requires no oven, and yields rich, decadent truffles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies (regular, not Double Stuf)
  • 1 (8 oz) block full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 12 oz (about 2 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • Optional for topping: White chocolate for drizzling, crushed Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, or flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Place the entire package of Oreos into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine, uniform crumbs. Alternatively, place cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo crumbs and the softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or sturdy spatula to mix until completely combined into a thick, cohesive dough.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the dough for at least 1 hour to firm up.
  4. Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion the chilled dough. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze the rolled balls on the tray for 15-20 minutes to firm up further for dipping.
  6. While the balls chill, melt the coating chocolate in a deep, narrow bowl using a microwave (30-second bursts, stirring between) or a double boiler. If using chocolate chips, stir in 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to thin.
  7. Remove a few balls from the freezer at a time. Using a fork or dipping tool, lower a ball into the melted chocolate, tap off the excess, and place it back on the parchment paper.
  8. Immediately add any desired toppings before the chocolate sets. Repeat with remaining balls.
  9. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature, or chill in the fridge for 10 minutes to speed up setting.

Notes

Chilling the dough and the rolled balls is crucial for easy handling and a smooth chocolate coating. For gluten-free or dairy-free versions, use suitable cookie and cream cheese alternatives. Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
