    • It's a super easy dessert recipe. These beautiful truffles are made with just 3 basic ingredients.
    • You don't need any fancy equipment. I share two options for mixing the ingredients together in the step-by-step instructions below.
    • They are a great make-ahead dessert. You can keep them refrigerated for up to a week!
    • The inside of this easy treat is full of a delicious cream cheese cookies and cream filling, and coated with chocolate. What's not to love?!

    👩🏽‍🍳 Ingredient notes

    several no bake oreo balls on a baking sheet

    Oreo cookies - you'll need one package of 24 Oreo cookies. Be sure to use the regular Oreos, NOT the Double Stuff.

    Cream cheese - Take an 8-ounce block of cream cheese out of the refrigerator and allow to soften at room temperature for about 30 minutes. This makes it easier to mix with the Oreo cookies.

    Baking chocolate - I use semi-sweet baking chocolate, and you'll need 8 ounces total. Some bars come in 4-ounce portions, while others come in 8-ounce portions, so be sure to get the right amount.

    It also never hurts to have more chocolate on hand, in case you are heavy-handed with the coating and end up needing more chocolate to finish the batch.

    ✅ Step-by-step Instructions

    Here's how to make this Oreo ball recipe (for full details, see the recipe card at the bottom of this post).

    1. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

    2. In a food processor, blend Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese until the cream cheese is well blended with the crushed oreos.

    3. Use your hands (or a small cookie scoop) to form 1-inch balls. Simply roll them around between the palms of your hands until they are nicely rounded. Place the small balls onto the prepared lined baking sheet.

    4. Chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. This really helps set the truffles and also helps the chocolate coating go on more smoothly.

    5. In the meantime, melt the baking chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring well in between each one, until chocolate is just melted. Watch the chocolate carefully to make sure it doesn't seize up!

    6. Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and dip into the baking chocolate, fully coating all sides. You can do this just using your hands to roll the truffles in the chocolate.

    7. Or, use a fork to gently dip the Oreo balls into the bowl of melted chocolate, coat all around, lift out with the fork, then gently set down onto wax or parchment paper.

    Then use a second fork in my other hand to keep the truffle in place while I guide the first fork up and away from the truffle.

    8. Sprinkle colored sugar sprinkles over each truffle, if desired.

    9. Place coated truffles onto the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until fully chilled, or until ready to serve.

    ❓ Recipe FAQs

    What's the best chocolate to use for truffles?

    You'll want to use a semi-sweet baking chocolate. These melt smoothly, coat smoothly, and chill well for truffles.

    What's the best way to store chocolate truffles?

    You can refrigerate these cookies and cream truffles in an airtight container for up to one week.

    🥣 Kitchen Tools and Equipment

    Here's the equipment you'll need to make these delicious oreo truffles.

    Food Processor - a food processor makes blending the cream cheese and Oreo cookies a breeze.

    If you do NOT have a food processor: crush the Oreo cookies using a gallon-size resealable bag and rolling pin and mix with the cream cheese.

    Baking sheet - You'll need a baking sheet with parchment paper for chilling the truffles twice.

    Ingredients

    • 1 package (24 cookies) Oreo cookies
    • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, at room temperature
    • 8 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate
    • Optional: sprinkles

    Instructions

    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • In a food processor, blend Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese until the cream cheese is well blended. I like to divide the cream cheese into 4 even sections and then place on top of the Oreos throughout before starting the processor. This helps ensure the cream cheese gets evenly distributed.
    • Using the best kitchen tools available - your hands - form 1-inch balls. Simply roll them around between the palms of your hands until they are nicely rounded. Place onto the prepared baking sheet.
    • Chill in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes. This really helps set the truffles and also helps the chocolate coating go on more smoothly.
    • In the meantime, melt the baking chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir, then microwave in 10-second intervals, stirring well in between each one, until chocolate is just melted.
    • Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and dip into the baking chocolate, fully coating all sides.
    • Place coated truffles onto the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes until fully chilled, or until ready to serve.

    Notes

    This makes about 24 chocolate Oreo truffles.
    STORAGE TIP: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
    DECORATION OPTIONS: After coating with chocolate and before setting in the refrigerator, you can sprinkle colored sugar sprinkles over the tops.

        Oh wow! You had me at Oreo. I've given up nearly all packaged sweets, but there's something about Oreos I can't resist (though I usually opt for the Joe Joe's version). I saw a similar recipe for a copycat Peppermint Joe Joe's this week and I died (they looked so good!). I love that this version is more of a shortcut (I don't have to make the actual cookies!!). Plus these are smaller, bite sized snacks, and perfect for holiday parties.
