Why This Strawberry Shortcake Oreo Balls?

How to Make Strawberry Shortcake Oreo Balls

1. Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, crush the entire package of Oreo cookies until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a ziplock bag and crush them using a rolling pin until finely ground.
2. Mix the Filling: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese, crushed freeze-dried strawberries (or strawberry cake mix), and vanilla extract. Mix everything together until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
3. Form the Balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are rolled, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to set.
4. Coat with White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, coating it completely, and then return it to the baking sheet.
5. Decorate: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle some pink or white sprinkles on top for a festive touch. You can also drizzle additional melted white chocolate over the top for decoration.
6. Chill and Set: Place the coated Oreo balls back into the refrigerator for another 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
7. Enjoy: Once the white chocolate is set, your Strawberry Shortcake Oreo Balls are ready to serve! Enjoy them as a sweet treat at your next party, or simply indulge when you’re craving something decadent.

Tips

• Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
• Crush the Strawberries Well: If using freeze-dried strawberries, crush them finely to ensure they blend well with the Oreo mixture.

Substitutions and Variations

• Different Flavor Variations: Try adding other flavored cake mixes like lemon or vanilla for a different spin on these balls.
• Chocolate Coating: You can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate if you prefer a different flavor than white chocolate.

Make a Healthier Version

• Reduced Fat Option: Use reduced-fat cream cheese and substitute the white chocolate with a sugar-free version to make this treat a little lighter.
• Use Dark Chocolate: Dark chocolate coating would add a rich flavor and a little less sweetness, while also offering a healthier option.
