Ingredients
396gregular Original Oreo cookiesabout 35 cookies with filling
200gcream cheese 1 package, softened
200gdark or white baking chocolatechopped
2tablespoonscoconut oiloptional
Instructions
Place the 396 g regular Original Oreo cookies, about 35 Oreo cookies, including their filling, in a food processor. Pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, seal the cookies in a food-storage bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Place the 200 g cream cheese , softened, in a mixing bowl. Beat with a spatula until smooth, about 1 minute.
Add the Oreo crumbs to the cream cheese. Mix until evenly combined and no streaks of cream cheese remain.
Roll the mixture into 23 balls, each about 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. Arrange them on a parchment-lined tray or cutting board and freeze for 30 minutes, until firm.
Place the 200 g dark or white baking chocolate and 2 tablespoons coconut oil, if using, in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
Lower each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate with a fork. Coat it completely, allow the excess chocolate to drip into the bowl, and return it to the parchment.
If desired, drizzle the Oreo balls with any remaining melted chocolate while the coating is still soft.
Refrigerate for 1 hour, until the chocolate coating is firm. Serve chilled or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
Cookie texture: Crush the Oreos into fine, even crumbs without large pieces so the filling rolls smoothly.Cream cheese consistency: Soften and beat the cream cheese before adding the crumbs so it blends evenly without visible pockets.Chocolate choice: Dark and white baking chocolate both work. Melt them separately if making two different coatings.Coconut oil: This optional ingredient thins the melted chocolate slightly, making the Oreo balls easier to coat evenly.
