People of all ages love these truffles whenever I bring them over. When you take a bite of these Oreo Truffles, they have a soft and fudgy interior and a snappy white chocolate shell. They are the perfect treat for any holiday or occasion, to give as a gift, or just to make when you want something sweet!
Ingredients You Need
- Oreos. Don’t use double-stuffed, as the extra filling makes the crumb mixture too greasy, wet, and difficult to form. The standard works best here.
- Cream cheese. Let it soften to room temperature so it will mix easily with the Oreo crumbs.
- White chocolate. For coating. Use real chocolate for the best-tasting Oreo Truffles. You can also use dark or milk chocolate if preferred.
Troubleshooting & Success Tips
- Chocolate is hardening. When you see this happening, keep the chocolate melted and fluid by reheating it in the microwave for 10-20 seconds or using a double boiler.
- Chocolate is too thick. You can thin out the chocolate by adding 1/4 teaspoon of neutral-tasting oil.
- Oreo balls are falling apart. You want the truffles cold and solid as you dip them into chocolate. If they are room temperature or still soft, they will fall apart in your warm, melted chocolate.
- Oreo balls are losing their shape. If the Oreo balls are softening and losing their shape as you’re dipping them, put them back in the freezer for 5–10 minutes and then try again. If you can, keep half of them in the freezer while you start dipping the other half in chocolate, because they can soften up quickly while sitting out.
How To Decorate Oreo Truffles
- Decorate with a chocolate drizzle. Dip the Oreo balls and then let the coating harden before drizzling them with melted chocolate.
- Decorate with cookie crumbs or sprinkles. Sprinkle the truffles immediately after dipping them so that your cookie crumbs or sprinkles stick.
Storage
Because these Oreo Truffles contain dairy from cream cheese, these Oreo Truffles should be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Keeping them refrigerated also ensures that they keep their shape and firmness. You can also freeze these truffles for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge and enjoy.

Ingredients
- 19 regular Oreos
- 4 oz (113 gr) cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup (170 gr) white chocolate
Instructions
- Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can chop them and crush them with a rolling pin on your cutting board until the cookies are broken down to fine crumbs.
- Reserve 1 tablespoon of Oreo crumbs for decorating.
- Add cream cheese and pulse until combined.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon of Oreo mixture and roll into balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet or plate lined with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Freeze the balls for 15-20 minutes.
- Place the white chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler, or a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water. Stir until melted. You can also melt it in 20-second increment, stirring well between each interval to prevent scorching.
- Remove the balls from the freezer. Dip each ball in the melted chocolate using a skewer or fork. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to let excess chocolate drip off. Use a toothpick to slide the truffle off the fork onto a lined plate or baking sheet.
- The shell will harden quickly. Immediately top with the reserved Oreo crumbs. If decorating with a chocolate drizzle, let the coating set before you use a piping bag to drizzle the remaining melted chocolate across the tops and then sprinkle with Oreo crumbs.
- Once the chocolate is set, you can store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
