No Bake Oreo Truffles

Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 36 servings

Ingredients

  • 36 Oreo cookies (original, not Double Stuf), plus 2–3 extra for garnish
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 12 oz (340 g) semisweet or dark chocolate for coating (chips or bars)
  • 1–2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
  • Pinch of salt (optional, enhances flavor)
  • Sprinkles, crushed Oreo crumbs, or a white chocolate drizzle for topping (optional)

Instructions

  • Crush the Oreos: Add the cookies to a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until sandy.
  • Mix with cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Add a pinch of salt if you like. Beat with a hand mixer or stir with a sturdy spatula until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  • Chill the dough: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for 20–30 minutes. This makes rolling easier and less sticky.
  • Roll into balls: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop 1-tablespoon portions and roll into smooth balls. You should get about 24–30 truffles. Place them on the lined sheet.
  • Freeze briefly: Freeze the rolled balls for 15–20 minutes. You want them firm but not rock solid, so they don’t crack when dipped.
  • Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in 1–2 teaspoons oil for a shinier, thinner coating if desired.
  • Dip the truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork gently on the bowl to let excess drip off. Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment.
  • Add toppings: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle crushed Oreo crumbs, sprinkles, or flaky salt. If you plan to drizzle with white chocolate, let the dark chocolate set first.
  • Set and store: Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate firms up, about 20–30 minutes, or refrigerate to speed it up. Transfer to an airtight container.
