How to Make No-Bake Oreo Balls
- Crush the Oreos: Using a food processor, crush the Oreos into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Mix with cream cheese: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Use a spoon or your hands to mix until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
- Form the balls: Roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls, placing them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the balls: Refrigerate the balls for about 30 minutes to firm them up before dipping in chocolate.
- Prepare the chocolate: While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the balls: Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift them out and allow the excess chocolate to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill again: Once all the Oreo balls are coated, return them to the fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is firm.
- Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate has hardened, your No-Bake Oreo Balls are ready to enjoy! Serve them chilled, and watch them disappear!
Tips
- If you prefer a firmer ball, you can chill the Oreo and cream cheese mixture for about 10 minutes before rolling it into balls.
- To make the chocolate coating smoother, you can add a small amount of coconut oil or shortening to the chocolate while melting.
- If you want a bit of crunch, you can roll the Oreo balls in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or even extra Oreo crumbs before the chocolate coating hardens.
- Be sure to let the balls chill long enough to harden before serving for the best texture and flavor.
