Place the Oreos in a food processor. Pulse them until they transform into fine crumbs.
Move the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add in the softened cream cheese.For a well-combined and smooth mixture, beat with a hand mixer. In the absence of a mixer, kneading by hand until smooth will also work.
With a spoon or a small scoop, shape the Oreo mixture into balls. Arrange them on a baking sheet lined with wax paper for easy handling. Freeze these balls for 10 minutes – you want them firm, but not too cold.
Melt the chocolate
Place the chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in the microwave in 15-second bursts, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and liquid. Note: Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate using a double boiler or a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly. Let the melted chocolate cool for 5 minutes before proceeding, to prevent melting the Oreo balls.
Dip the balls in chocolate
Dip each Oreo ball one at a time into the melted chocolate, ensuring a full coating. Lift out with a fork, tapping off excess chocolate. Use a toothpick or knife to slide the truffle off the fork onto a lined plate or baking sheet.
If you wish, top the wet chocolate with sprinkles or Oreo crumbs. For an extra touch, drizzle with leftover or another type of melted chocolate.
Storing the Oreo Balls: Once the chocolate coating has set, store the Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Use parchment or wax paper to layer them. They will keep well for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
Read through the entire recipe and the Ingredient Notes section of the post and gather your ingredients. We provide a lot of information within the body of this recipe post to ensure that your Oreo truffles comes out perfectly every time. These treats come together quickly so it’s a good idea to fully understand the recipe and have everything ready before beginning.
Work Quickly with Chocolate: Work quickly when dipping the balls in the melted chocolate as it can harden quickly. If this happens, simply reheat the chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler.
Preventing Oreo Balls from Falling Apart: If they do, the chocolate might be too hot. Let it cool slightly before continuing.
Maintaining Shape While Dipping: If the Oreo balls are softening and losing their shape as you dip them, put them back in the refrigerator or freezer for 5–10 minutes before trying again.
Note: For this recipe, I typically use a 1 tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, which yields about 10-12 Oreo truffles. Feel free to use a different sized scoop if you prefer more or fewer truffles.
