Main Ingredients
- 36 Oreos
- 220 grams of cream cheese, softened
- 300 grams of dark chocolate, melted
- 50 grams of white chocolate, melted (optional)
- 2 tablespoons of pink and red sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Use a food processor to crush the Oreos until you achieve fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large chunks.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
- Form the Balls: Scoop the Oreo mixture and roll it into small, bite-sized balls. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with wax paper.
- Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes to let them firm up, which will make dipping easier.
- Melt the Dark Chocolate: Gently melt the dark chocolate using a microwave or double boiler, stirring frequently until smooth and fluid.
- Coat the Balls: Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted dark chocolate, making sure it is evenly coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Add Decorations: Before the chocolate sets, decorate each ball with pink and red sprinkles or drizzle with the melted white chocolate for added visual appeal.
- Set the Chocolate: Return the dipped Oreo balls to the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens completely, then serve and enjoy.
Notes
- These Oreo Balls make an excellent, easy-to-make dessert for Valentine’s Day or any special occasion.
- You can adjust the amount of cream cheese slightly if you prefer a firmer or softer texture.
- Use good quality chocolate for coating as it enhances the flavor and texture of the final treat.
- Store the finished Oreo Balls in the refrigerator for up to a week to maintain freshness.
- Optionally, add flavor variations by mixing in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or espresso powder into the Oreo and cream cheese mixture.
