OREOS: There are plenty of fun flavors beyond the classic Oreo that you can choose for this no-bake treat.

How about peppermint Oreos for the Christmas season or lemon Oreos in the spring?

CANDY CANES: If you are going the peppermint route, you could mix ½ cup of crushed candy canes into your mixture

How To Make This Recipe For Oreo Balls

Let’s have a quick look at the steps to making these irresistible truffles.

STEP ONE: Line a baker’s half sheet with parchment paper.

STEP TWO: Pulse Oreo cookies, complete with filling, in a food processor until you achieve fine crumbs.

STEP THREE: Reserve ¼ cup Oreo cookie crumbs from the food processor, and set aside for later.

STEP FOUR: Add the room-temperature cream cheese and vanilla to the cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse until fully incorporated.

STEP FIVE: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out 21 equal-sized portions.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 14 ounces regular Oreos
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 10 ounces white melting wafers
• 1 tablespoon shortening
• ¼ cup dark cocoa melting wafers, optional

Instructions

 

• Line a baker’s half sheet with parchment paper.
• Pulse Oreo cookies, complete with filling, in a food processor until you achieve a fine crumb.
• Reserve ¼ cup Oreo crumbs from the food processor and set aside for later.
• Add the room-temperature cream cheese and vanilla to cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse until fully incorporated.
• Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out 21 equal-sized portions. Roll into balls by hand and place on the prepared baking sheet.
• Freeze the Oreo truffle balls until slightly hardened. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Melt shortening and wafers 30 seconds at a time until melted. Stir well between each interval.
• Dip hardened truffles into melted wafer mixture. Turning with a fork until well coated.
• Immediately return to the prepared baking sheet and top with Oreo crumbles and optional dark chocolate drizzle.
• Allow truffles to sit at room temperature to harden.

Notes

• A baker’s half sheet is approximately 17×12 in size.
• If you don’t own a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You will want to make sure the bag is completely sealed.
• Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it blends well and doesn’t leave lumps in the truffle mixture.
• If your food processor does not fully incorporate the cream cheese and Oreo cookie crumbs, you can finish mixing by hand.
• Don’t skip the chilling time! The chilled balls will be much easier to work with than ones at room temperature.
