- Yield: 35 1x
Description
Delightful Oreo cake balls blend creamy cookies and rich chocolate for an irresistible treat. Chocolate lovers will savor each bite of these easy-to-make, no-bake dessert bites that disappear quickly at parties or gatherings.
Ingredients
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
- 1 package (36 cookies, about 300 g) Oreo cookies
- 7 oz (200 g) white or semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- Sprinkles
- Crushed Oreos
- Cocoa powder
Instructions
- Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into fine, uniform crumbs using a food processor or by crushing within a sealed bag with a rolling pin until achieving a consistent, powdery texture.
- Mixing: Blend softened cream cheese with cookie crumbs, kneading thoroughly to create a cohesive, pliable mixture that forms easily and holds its shape without crumbling.
- Shaping: Gently roll the Oreo-cream cheese mixture into compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter, ensuring consistent size and smooth surfaces.
- Chilling: Arrange formed balls on a parchment-lined tray, then refrigerate for 20-30 minutes to solidify their structure and enhance chocolate coating adherence.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate using controlled microwave intervals, stirring between cycles to prevent burning and achieve a silky, glossy consistency for dipping.
- Dipping: Submerge each chilled ball completely in melted chocolate, using a fork to lift and drain excess coating, ensuring uniform coverage and a professional finish.
- Decorating: While chocolate remains liquid, embellish cake balls with sprinkles, crushed Oreo fragments, or elegant chocolate drizzles to add visual appeal and texture.
- Setting: Refrigerate decorated cake balls for a minimum of 30 minutes, allowing chocolate to harden and flavors to harmonize, creating a delectable, chilled confection.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency Matters: Ensure Oreo cookies are ground into ultra-fine, uniform crumbs for smooth, cohesive texture without lumps.
- Cream Cheese Temperature: Use room temperature cream cheese to guarantee seamless blending and prevent crumbly mixture.
- Chill Before Coating: Refrigerate cake balls for at least 20-30 minutes before chocolate dipping to prevent cracking and maintain shape during coating process.
- Chocolate Melting Technique: Melt chocolate in short, controlled microwave intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning and achieve silky, glossy finish.
