Super Easy Oreo Balls (Only 3 Ingredients!) Recipe
Introduction
These Super Easy Oreo Balls are a delightful no-bake treat that requires just three simple ingredients. Creamy, chocolatey, and perfectly bite-sized, they make a fantastic dessert or snack for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 36 regular Oreo cookies (14 oz or 400 g)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
- 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate, chopped
Instructions
- Step 1: Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until small fine crumbs form.
- Step 2: Transfer the crushed Oreos to a bowl. Add the cream cheese and mix well until fully combined.
- Step 3: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time, and using your hands, roll into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Step 4: Chill the balls in the freezer for 20 minutes or in the fridge for 1 hour until firm.
- Step 5: Melt the chopped white chocolate. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, tapping off the excess. Place back onto the parchment paper and immediately garnish with crushed Oreos or drizzle with melted dark chocolate if desired.
Tips & Variations
- For a richer chocolate coating, try dipping the balls in melted dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- To make decorating easier, chill the balls well before dipping to prevent them from melting.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground.
Storage
Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw in the refrigerator before serving. To re-soften the coating slightly, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes.

Ingredients
Oreos and Cream Cheese
- 36 regular Oreo cookies (14 oz or 400 g)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, at room temperature
Coating
- 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate, chopped
- Optional: crushed Oreos or melted dark chocolate for garnish
Instructions
- Process Oreos: Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form, ensuring no large pieces remain for a smooth mixture.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl. Add room temperature cream cheese and mix thoroughly until fully combined into a dark, uniform dough-like mixture.
- Form Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and shape into balls using your hands. Place the shaped balls on a baking sheet or tray lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Balls: Freeze the balls for 20 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour to firm them up before coating.
- Melt Chocolate: Slowly melt the chopped white chocolate, either in a microwave with short bursts or a double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth.
- Coat Oreo Balls: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
- Garnish and Set: Immediately sprinkle each coated ball with crushed Oreos or drizzle with melted dark chocolate for decoration. Allow to set until the chocolate coating hardens.
- Storage: Store the finished Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is soft and at room temperature for easier mixing.
- You can substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if preferred.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling and dipping.
- These treats keep well in the fridge for up to one week or can be frozen for longer storage.
- For a smoother coating, temper the chocolate if desired to avoid dull or streaky finish.
