These Oreo Balls are an easy no-bake dessert made with Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and chocolate. They are creamy inside, coated in smooth chocolate, and perfect for parties, holidays, gift boxes, or a quick sweet treat.
Place 35 Oreo cookies (about 14 oz / 396 g) in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. If you do not have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Add 1 package (7 oz / 200 g) cream cheese to a mixing bowl and beat with a spatula until smooth, about 1 minute.
Add the crushed Oreo cookies to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined and smooth.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. Place them on a parchment-lined tray or cutting board and freeze for 30 minutes until firm.
Place 7 oz (200 g) dark chocolate or white chocolate and 2 tablespoon coconut oil, if using, in a heatproof bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until smooth and melted.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate using a fork. Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated Oreo balls back onto the parchment paper.
Decorate with a chocolate drizzle, crushed Oreo cookies, or sprinkles while the chocolate coating is still soft.
Let the Oreo balls set at room temperature, or refrigerate for about 1 hour until the chocolate coating is firm. Serve chilled or store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
Freeze Before Dipping: I like to freeze the Oreo balls before dipping because they stay firm and are much easier to coat in chocolate. Use Soft Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese mixes better with the Oreo crumbs, and I find it gives the filling a smoother, creamier texture. Don’t Overheat the Chocolate: I melt the chocolate slowly and stir between each interval so it stays smooth and easy to dip. Decorate Quickly: Add the drizzle, crushed Oreos, or sprinkles while the chocolate is still soft so everything sticks nicely. Storage: I keep Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for up to 2 months.
