Ingredients

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

Oreo cookies are mostly carbohydrates with a heavy sugar load that gives these balls their sweetness even if they dont add much healthy fibre.
They bring a crunchy texture and lots of flavor but they arent exactly a nutrition powerhouse.
Cream cheese is rich and creamy with a tangy taste.
It adds a smooth texture to the mix and offers a bit of protein and fat even though the amounts arent large enough to make it a health food.
Semisweet chocolate chips are full of sugars and fats, making them a treat that boosts the overall sweetness.
They melt beautifully and add that irresistible chocolate flavor even if they are not the healthiest choice.

Ingredient Quantities

1 package (about 36 cookies) Oreo cookies

How to Make this

Print Recipe (No Advertisments)

1. Crush the Oreo cookies in a zip-lock bag using a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs with a few small chunks left.

2. In a medium bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with the softened cream cheese until its all well combined.

3. Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Repeat till all the mixture is used up.

4. Lay the Oreo balls on a parchment-lined plate and pop them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes so they firm up a bit.

5. While they chill, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in bursts of 20 seconds, stirring in between until smooth and runny.

6. Once the balls are firm, dip each one into the melted chocolate using a fork to make sure they get fully coated.

7. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the dipped balls back on the parchment paper.

8. Chill the chocolate-coated balls in the fridge for about 1 hour so the chocolate sets completely.

9. Enjoy these delicious no bake Oreo balls whenever you need a quick, sweet treat!

FAQ

What type of Oreos should I use? Because this recipe works best with classic Oreos, but any regular flavor will work. Don't use those fancy limited edition ones.

Can I use another type of chocolate? Yes, you can use milk chocolate if you're into a sweeter taste. However, semisweet chocolate chips keep the flavors more balanced.

Do I need to refrigerate after making these? Its best to chill these for at least an hour so the chocolate hardens up a bit, but you can leave them out if you need to.

How long do these last in the fridge? They should stay good for about a week in the fridge, and if you want 'em to last longer, you can freeze them.

What size should I make these balls? I like making them about 1 inch in diameter which is the perfect size for a bite and makes them freeze quicker too.

Easy Way To Make No Bake Oreo Balls Recipe Substitutions and Variations

Instead of Oreo cookies, you can try using another chocolate sandwich cookie or even chocolate graham crackers if you’re in a pinch
If cream cheese is too heavy for you, mascarpone or even a blend of ricotta and a bit of butter can work pretty well
For the semisweet chocolate chips, feel free to swap them for milk chocolate chips or dark chocolate if you prefer a different flavor profile

Pro Tips

1. When crushing the cookies, don’t overdo it – leaving in a couple of small chunks actually gives yer treat a cooler texture instead of having a completely smooth mix.
2. Make sure the cream cheese is really softened before mixing with the crumbs so it blends evenly. This avoids any lumpy bits that can mess up the overall flavor and texture.
3. Chill the balls long enough in the freezer so the cream cheese mix is firm; otherwise, dipping them in chocolate might lead to a messy finish.
4. When melting the chocolate in the microwave, use short bursts and stir in between. It helps to prevent burning and makes the chocolate nice and smooth for dipping.
