Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 package (15.25 oz) Oreo cookies
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until the cookies are finely ground into uniform crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until completely crumbled.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and ground Oreo cookie crumbs. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or stand mixer until the mixture is well blended and smooth.
- Gradually pour in the sweetened condensed milk while continuing to mix. Blend until the mixture becomes a consistent, sticky dough that holds together easily.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes to firm up, which will make it easier to roll into balls.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the formed Oreo balls in the freezer for 10 minutes to help them maintain their shape during coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each chilled Oreo ball in the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo crumbs, drizzle with white chocolate, or add decorative sprinkles while the chocolate coating is still wet.
- Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 1 hour to set the chocolate and allow the flavors to meld together.
- Serve chilled and store any remaining Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Tips
- Crushing the Cookies: If you don’t have a food processor, don’t worry! Placing the Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag and using a rolling pin works just as well. Just make sure to crush them finely for a smoother texture.
- Chilling is Key: Don’t skip the refrigeration step! Chilling the mixture for 15-20 minutes helps it firm up, making it easier to roll into perfect balls.
- Coating Technique: When coating the Oreo balls in melted chocolate, use a fork or dipping tool to ensure an even layer. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on the baking sheet.
- Customization: Get creative! While the chocolate coating is still wet, add crushed Oreo crumbs, drizzle with white chocolate, or sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for an extra touch.
- Storage: Keep any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll stay fresh for up to a week, but trust us, they’ll be gone long before that!
