# Ingredients Required:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
405 g regular Oreo cookies (1 package), with filling
02 -
227 g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
03 -
454 g chocolate for coating (white, dark, or milk chocolate)
→ Optional Decorative Toppings
04 -
Crushed Oreo cookies
05 -
Holiday sprinkles
06 -
Colored sanding sugar
07 -
Drizzle of contrasting chocolate
# Detailed Directions:
01 -
Place all Oreo cookies, including the cream filling, in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into even crumbs. Alternatively, use a large zip-top bag and a rolling pin to crush the cookies.
02 -
Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and blend with an electric mixer until the mixture is thoroughly combined with no white streaks remaining.
03 -
Line baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone mats. Scoop portions of the mixture, approximately 2.5 cm in diameter, using a cookie scoop or measuring spoon. Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth, even balls. Arrange on the prepared baking sheets.
04 -
Place the shaped balls in the freezer for 15 to 20 minutes until they are firm.
05 -
While the balls are chilling, melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals and stirring between each, or use a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until fully melted.
06 -
Remove a few balls from the freezer at a time, keeping the rest chilled. Dip each ball fully in the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
07 -
Add desired toppings such as crushed Oreos, sprinkles, sanding sugar, or a chocolate drizzle immediately before the chocolate sets. Let the chocolate coating firm up completely before serving or storing.
# Helpful Advice:
01 -
For best results, use full-fat cream cheese and allow it to soften at room temperature before mixing.
02 -
If working in a warm kitchen, chill the balls between batches to maintain their shape during dipping.
