Description
Sinful Oreo balls merge crushed cookies with cream cheese and chocolate coating for an irresistible dessert. Cold treats deliver pure indulgence you cannot resist.
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies (1 standard package)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips or melting chocolate
- Sprinkles
- Crushed Oreos
- White chocolate drizzle
Instructions
- Cookie Preparation: Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until transforming into fine, uniform crumbs. Reserve a small portion for garnishing.
- Dough Formation: Blend processed crumbs with cream cheese, kneading until creating a cohesive, pliable mixture. Roll into compact, one-inch spheres on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chilling Phase: Refrigerate formed balls for 20-30 minutes to stabilize their structure and enhance texture.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt chocolate chips using gentle microwave technique, stirring to achieve a smooth consistency. Dip each chilled ball completely, allowing excess chocolate to drip off using a fork.
- Decorative Finishing: While chocolate remains wet, sprinkle reserved Oreo crumbs or decorative elements across the surface. Return to refrigerator for final 15-20 minute setting period.
Notes
- Prevent Crumb Clumping: Pulse Oreos in short bursts to achieve ultra-fine, uniform crumbs without creating dense, sticky masses.
- Temperature Control for Cream Cheese: Allow cream cheese to reach room temperature beforehand, ensuring smooth blending and preventing lumpy texture.
- Chocolate Dipping Technique: Use a fork’s edge to gently tap excess chocolate, creating a clean, professional coating without drips or uneven surfaces.
- Dietary Adaptation: Swap regular Oreos with gluten-free or vegan alternatives, and use dairy-free cream cheese for inclusive treat options.
