No Bake Oreo Balls
Fudgy no bake Oreo balls are the perfect treat to share! A creamy, chocolatly center is wrapped in white or dark chocolate to form the perfect delicious dessert bite!
Ingredients
- 36 Oreos 14.3 ounce package, or other chocolate sandwich cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 11-12 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts, 1 1/2 cups
- 11-12 ounces dark chocolate or chocolate candy melts, 1 1/2 cups
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil optional, see notes
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place cookies in food processor and mix until cookies turn into fine crumbs. See notes if you don’t have a food processor.
- Add cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a silicone spatula until a dough forms. Do not mix the mixture in the food processor as the cream cheese mixture can become too liquidy.
- Roll the dough into balls, about one tablespoon per truffle. I like to use this cookie scoop set, for this recipe you'll need the small cookie scoop. Place each truffle on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet so they are not touching. Freeze the truffles for at least 15 minutes.
- Add the white chocolate and one tablespoon of coconut oil (optional) to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the white chocolate in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth white chocolate sauce.
- Remove half of the truffles from the freezer. Place half of the truffle balls into white chocolate one at a time to coat, using a fork so excess chocolate can drip off. Place each white chocolate-coated ball on parchment paper so they are not touching each other.
- Add the dark chocolate and one tablespoon of coconut oil (optional) to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the dark chocolate in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth dark chocolate sauce.
- Remove the other half of the truffles from the freezer. Place half of the truffle balls into dark chocolate one at a time to coat, using a fork so excess chocolate can drip off. Place each dark chocolate-coated ball on parchment paper so they are not touching each other.
- Drizzle the top of each truffle with the remaining chocolate to decorate (see notes). Extra Oreo crumbs can be also sprinkled on top to decorate if desired before the chocolate hardens. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to help the chocolate to fully harden, then enjoy!
Notes
Making Cookie Crumbs Without a Food Processor
If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a gallon size strong zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or even a full canned good to crush the cookies into crumbs inside the bag. After the cookies have become crumbs, you can mix in the rest of the ingredients with the cookie crumbs with an electric mixer. If you don’t have an electric mixer you can mix them together by hand but it may take a little longer and the cream cheese needs to be well softened.

Using Oil In The Chocolate–
Adding a little bit of oil to the chocolate will help create a smooth white chocolate and chocolate coating. The oil also makes the chocolate a little thinner to give it a nice coating. I prefer to use a tablespoon of coconut oil for about every 1-2 cups of chocolate or white chocolate. You can use a tablespoon of any of these oils.

Decorating The Truffles
Sometimes by the time you are decorating the truffles with the drizzles of chocolate, the chocolate begins to harden. Chocolates can be placed back in the microwave and heated at half power in increments just like when you first melted the chocolate. Be careful not to get any water or other liquid in the chocolate as this will cause the chocolate to seize. (become grainy and hard.) A little extra oil can be used to thin the chocolate further if needed.
