This no bake Oreo balls recipe elevates Oreo cookies into a truffle form. With only four ingredients, they are a blend of crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese that are assembled into truffles and coated in chocolate. These truffles make a delicious sweet treat at any time of the day but can also be included with any of your favorite baked goods at Christmas.
To make these no bake Oreo balls, you begin by crushing Oreos in a food processor before mixing them with softened cream cheese and assembling them into balls. Then, they get coated in both white and milk chocolate before being placed in the fridge to set.
What are No Bake Oreo Balls?
No bake Oreo balls are truffles comprising Oreo cookies, cream cheese, milk chocolate, and white chocolate. While traditional truffles include a chocolate ganache filling, these Oreo balls include a mixture of cream cheese and crushed Oreo cookies which blend into a mixture that can be shaped into balls. After that, they get dipped into chocolate before being drizzled with additional white or milk chocolate to create a two-tone effect.
Pro Tips
- Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature so it incorporates with the Oreo crumbs easily.
- Use a measuring spoon to divide the mixture into balls to ensure that the truffles are even sizes.
- To melt the chocolate, you can place it in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Alternatively, you can melt it in the microwaves, stirring it every 20 to 30 minutes until it is fully melted.
- Use a fork to dip the truffles in the chocolate as this will help excess chocolate run off easily.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Easiest Way to Dip Oreo Balls?
The easiest way is to drop the balls into the chocolate using a spoon and to fish them out using a fork. The tongs in the fork will allow excess chocolate to drip through easily.
What Types of Oreos Should Be Used for the Oreo Balls?
Use a single stuffed chocolate Oreo rather than the double stuffed variety or else the added cream filling may throw off the truffle’s ratios. You could use a vanilla Oreo for this recipe as well if you would prefer not to use chocolate.
How Far in Advance Should I Make Oreo Balls?
You can make the Oreo balls up to 3 to 5 days in advance of when you would like to serve them. They should be stored in the fridge in an airtight container.
How to Store No Bake Oreo Balls
The Oreo balls can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
