Description
Delightful snowman oreo balls bring winter cheer with creamy white chocolate and adorable decorations. Simple ingredients and quick assembly make these festive treats perfect for holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups (350 g) white chocolate or white candy melts
- Mini chocolate chips (for eyes and buttons)
- Orange sprinkles or candy-coated sunflower seeds (for noses)
- Black decorating gel or edible marker (for mouths)
- Pretzel sticks, broken into small pieces (for arms, optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize: Transform Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor, guaranteeing a smooth, consistent texture without any substantial fragments.
- Blend: Merge cookie crumbs with cream cheese in a mixing bowl, kneading thoroughly until a seamless, silky consistency emerges, creating a uniform base for the snowman confection.
- Chill and Shape: Refrigerate the mixture briefly to enhance malleability, then craft compact, symmetrical spheres that mimic miniature snowmen, ensuring precise and even dimensions.
- Stabilize: Freeze the formed balls momentarily to solidify their structure, preparing them for the chocolate immersion process.
- Coat: Delicately immerse each chilled sphere into melted white chocolate, employing a precise dipping technique to achieve comprehensive, flawless coverage while minimizing excess dripping.
- Set and Decorate: Allow the chocolate shell to solidify naturally at ambient temperature or expedite the process through quick refrigeration, then artfully embellish with dark chocolate or intricate icing details to personify each snowman ball.
- Preserve: Transfer the completed winter-themed delicacies to an airtight container, maintaining their pristine condition in the refrigerator until serving time.
Notes
- Chill Thoroughly: Refrigerate the Oreo mixture for at least 15 minutes to ensure firm, easy-to-shape balls that hold their form during coating.
- Smooth Chocolate Coating: Melt white chocolate slowly and stir frequently to prevent burning, creating a silky smooth surface for perfect snowman appearance.
- Even Size Matters: Use a small cookie scoop or weigh each ball to maintain consistent sizing, ensuring uniform look and even chocolate coverage.
- Decoration Pro Tip: Let chocolate set slightly before adding decorative details to prevent bleeding or smudging of facial features and winter accessories.
