How to Make Oreo Truffles
The first step is to crush them into crumbs, using a food processor or blender. You can also do it manually by putting the cookies in a large ziplock bag and pounding them with a rolling pin. Then mix the crumbs together with cream cheese in a bowl to make a thick paste.
Mold into 1-inch balls by rolling between the palms of your hands. The balls don’t need to be perfectly round because they’ll get covered in chocolate anyways.
Then place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper.
Now you’re ready to dip the balls in chocolate. We used both white chocolate and semisweet chocolate in separate bowls, but you can use just one if you prefer. Be sure to get baking chocolate, since chocolate chips are too thick when melted.
Cooking Tips and Notes for Making Great Oreo Truffles
There are some useful tips to bear in mind when making these Oreo truffles:
- The cream cheese needs to be softened before mixing with the oreo crumbs. Here is a tutorial on how to soften cream cheese.
- After you roll the cream cheese and oreo crumbs into balls, don’t leave them in the freezer for too long. If you need to leave them for more than one hour, place them in the refrigerator instead.
- Higher quality baking chocolate will coat the balls better than melting chocolate chips or other substitutes
- Keep the truffles chilled until serving for the best flavor

Hi! Is it possible to refrigerate them for an hour or longer instead of freezing them for 20minutes? My freezer is kinda always packed >.<
Hi Han, Thanks for your comment and yes you can freeze them for longer if you like. Just seal them in a ziptop bag to avoid freezer burn.
I want to try and make all of these for the holidays..
Hi Deborah, YES! That’s the idea and so glad you like them. Hope you have a great holiday season 🙂
Could I substitute the cream cheese for silken tofu to make these vegan?
Hi Luisa, I haven’t tried it, but cream cheese is a binding agent in this recipe to hold everything together. I doubt tofu would do the same unfortunately …
How long can you keep them out? Because I am going to sell these at my school.?
Hi Heather, Great idea! You can keep them out for 2-3 hours at room temperature.
Can you freeze this recipe?
Don’t recommend freezing but you can refrigerate for up to a week in an airtight container 😉
I have a slightly modified recipe for this treat and I always keep them frozen until I am ready to serve them (then I will move them to the fridge so they get a bit softer, but they are good right out of the freezer too). They last a long time, so you could make them weeks in advance if you needed to.
Can you tell me your modified version please? Making a bunch of these for my children’s Movie night at school 🙂
Can I get the modified version please
How many days in advance can I make these
Thanks for asking. Up to one week ahead if you store them in a sealed container in the fridge… 🙂
Where do we use the semisweet or milk chocolate? All I see is a use for the dark or white chocolate.
I’m assuming that you need to store these in the refrigerator because of the cream cheese?
that’s right 🙂
dumb question….are you supposed to remove the oreo filling?
Nope the filling is coated in chocolate…
I guess so or else it will taste extremely sweet.
