Prep Time: 20 minutes | Chilling Time: 1 hour | Total Time: 1 hour 20 minutes
Ingredients List
- 36 Oreo cookies – The star ingredient! Use regular or double-stuffed for extra creaminess.
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened – Full-fat works best for a smooth, rich texture.
- 2 cups semi-sweet or white chocolate chips – For coating; melts smoothly for a glossy finish.
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional) – Helps thin the chocolate for easy dipping.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Crush the Oreos – Pulse Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form (no large chunks).
- Mix with cream cheese – In a bowl, blend Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese until fully combined.
- Roll into balls – Scoop 1-inch portions, roll into smooth balls, and place on a lined tray.
- Chill – Freeze for 30 minutes to firm up (prevents crumbling when dipping).
- Melt chocolate – Microwave chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip & decorate – Use a fork to dip each ball into melted chocolate, letting excess drip off. Place back on the tray.
- Set & serve – Chill 10 minutes until chocolate hardens. Drizzle with extra chocolate if desired!
Tips for Success
- Room-temperature cream cheese blends easier—no lumps!
- Freeze balls before dipping to prevent cracking.
- Use a fork for dipping – Tap off excess chocolate for a smooth finish.
