Step 1: Blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor to fine crumbs with no large lumps.

Step 2: Mix the Oreo powder with the room-temperature cream cheese mixture until the oreo mixture is smooth and compact.

Shaping and coating

Step 3: Form cake balls of dough weighing around 20 g and place on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then let stand in the fridge for 30 minutes or 10 minutes in the freezer.

Step 4: Place a cake pop stick in the center of each chocolate cake pop, previously dipped in melted white chocolate previously melted in a double boiler or in the microwave, and leave to rest in the freezer for 15 minutes.

Step 5: Dip each Oreo cake pop into the melted chocolate, shake off excess chocolate, and place it on a cake pop stand or Styrofoam cake dummy.

Decorate with melted dark chocolate in a piping bag or pastry cone, or sprinkle a few crushed Oreo crumbs over the cake pops before the chocolate hardens.

Storage

In the fridge: Oreo cake pops are best kept in the fridge, especially during the warmer months, in an airtight container box for around 4-5 days.

Freezer: You can also freeze them for up to 3 months. Let them recover slowly in the fridge.

Recipe Questions

Can I make Oreo cake pops ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare Oreo cake pops ahead of time. Simply store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve them. They're a great make-ahead dessert option for parties and gatherings.

Can I make Oreo cake pops without a food processor?

While a food processor can make the process of crushing the Oreo cookies easier, you can also crush them by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin or mallet.

Alternatively, you can finely chop them with a knife. The goal is to achieve finely crushed crumbs for the mixture.

How can I prevent my Oreo cake pops from falling off the sticks?

To prevent Oreo cake pops from falling off the sticks, make sure the cake pop mixture is well chilled before inserting the sticks. Additionally, dipping the tip of each stick into melted chocolate before inserting it into the cake pops helps secure them in place.

Allow the chocolate to set before dipping the cake pops in chocolate for coating.

What can I do if my Oreo mixture is too sticky?

If your Oreo mixture is too sticky, add more crushed Oreo crumbs or refrigerate it to firm it up. You can also lightly dust your hands with powdered sugar or cocoa powder while rolling the mixture into balls to prevent sticking. Adjust the cream cheese to Oreo ratio if needed.

Why is my candy coating cracking?

Cracking in the candy coating can occur due to rapid temperature changes. To prevent this, ensure that the cake pops are at room temperature before dipping them in the melted chocolate.

Additionally, avoid overheating the chocolate, and gently tap off excess coating before it sets to create a smoother finish.
