How to Make Oreo Balls
Follow along with our step-by-step pictures, instructions, and helpful tips and tricks below. Let's get started making these delicious Oreo Cookie balls! You'll have fun creating this easy and tasty treat!
FIRST STEP: Line a baker’s half sheet with parchment paper.
Pro Tip
A baker’s half sheet is approximately 17×12-inches in size.
SECOND STEP: Pulse Oreo cookies, complete with filling, in a food processor until you achieve fine crumbs.
Pro Tip
If you don’t own a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You will want to make sure the bag is completely sealed.
THIRD STEP: Reserve ¼ cup of Oreo cookie crumbs from the food processor, and set aside for later.
Pro Tip
Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it blends well and doesn’t leave lumps in the truffle mixture.
FOURTH STEP: Add the room-temperature cream cheese and vanilla to the cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse until fully incorporated.
Pro Tip
If your food processor does not fully incorporate the cream cheese and Oreo cookie crumble, you can finish mixing by hand.
FIFTH STEP: Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out 21 equal-sized portions.
Roll into small balls by hand and place truffles on the prepared baking sheet.
SIXTH STEP: Freeze the Oreo balls until slightly hardened. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
Pro Tip
Don’t skip the chilling time! The chilled balls will be much easier to work with than ones at room temperature.
SEVENTH STEP: Melt shortening and wafers in 30-second intervals at a time in a microwave-safe bowl until melted. Stir well between each heating.
EIGHTH STEP: Dip hardened truffles into melted wafer mixture. Turn with a fork until well coated.
NINTH STEP: Immediately return to the prepared baking sheet and top with Oreo crumbs and the optional dark chocolate drizzle.
TENTH STEP: Allow truffles to sit at room temperature to harden.
