Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 36 cookies Oreo cookies About one and a half cups crumbs
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese Softened
- 8 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate Chopped or one cup of chocolate chips
- 4 oz white chocolate Chopped, optional for swirl or dip
- Sprinkles or crushed nuts Optional for garnish
Instructions
Preparation
- Place thirty-six Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they achieve fine crumbs.
- In a medium bowl, combine the crumbs with eight ounces of softened cream cheese, blending until a sticky dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll into smooth round spheres. Chill for about ten minutes if the dough sticks.
- Place the rolled balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for twenty to thirty minutes.
Coating
- Melt eight ounces of semi-sweet or dark chocolate over simmering water or in a microwave in twenty-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on parchment.
- For decoration, drizzle melted white chocolate over the coated balls and sprinkle with toppings before the chocolate sets.
Finalization
- Return the tray to the fridge for another fifteen to twenty minutes to let the chocolate coating solidify.
