How to make Oreo Cream Cheese balls

Crush Oreos

• Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until you have very fine Oreo crumbs.

The more finely the cookies are blended, the more you can make nice round and smooth Oreo cookie balls.

Tip: You can also use a plastic bag and a rolling pin to finely crush the cookies into fine crumbs.

Add frosting

1. Place the cookie crumbs in a medium bowl and add the cream cheese frosting.
2. Mix with a tablespoon until you have a compact and sticky mixture.
3. Cover with plastic wrap and leave to rest in the fridge for a while to make it easier to shape the balls.

Tip: If the batter seems too soft and sticky then add more cookies and if you have trouble picking up the batter then add more frosting.

Shaped balls

1. Scoop out some Oreo balls batter and form dough balls between your hands.
2. Roll the Oreo balls until they are round and smooth.
3. Place them in the freezer while preparing the melted chocolate for the coating.

Tip Use a small ice cream scoop to get the same size Oreo balls.

Chocolate coating

1. Melt semisweet chocolate or white chocolate in a bowl in a double boiler or in the microwave until completely melted.
2. Then place it in a small deep bowl.
3. Remove balls from the freezer and dip Oreo balls one by one into the melted chocolate.
4. Shake off the excess chocolate drip and place truffles on a prepared baking sheet with parchment paper or until the chocolate hardens.
5. Decorate the top of the Oreo balls with melted white or dark chocolate or crushed Oreo.

Tip: Using homemade chocolate tools or a toothpick, prick the frozen Oreo ball to dip it more easily into the melted chocolate. You can add a fat to obtain smooth melted chocolate, such as coconut oil or mycryo (cocoa butter)

Storage and tips

At room temperature: Store Oreo balls for up to two weeks, placed in an airtight container box with a tight-fitting lid or in a glass jar.

How to freeze oreo balls: You can also keep them for up to 3 months in the freezer, and let them slowly come back to room temperature.

Vegan Oreo balls: Simply replace the cream cheese with vegan cream cheese or another vegan frosting and vegan chocolate.

Peanut butter Oreos: Replace the cream cheese with peanut butter spread or almond butter.
