Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts (pastel colors preferred)
- Food coloring (optional, for white chocolate)
- Sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos:
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed. Alternatively, place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Make the Dough:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Mix until fully combined and a dough forms.
- Shape into Eggs:
- Scoop 1-2 tablespoons of the mixture and roll it into an egg shape using your hands. Place the shaped eggs on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the Eggs:
- Freeze the Oreo eggs for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the Chocolate:
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. If using white chocolate, you can divide it into portions and tint each with food coloring.
- Coat the Eggs:
- Dip each chilled Oreo egg into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out, letting the excess drip off. Place the coated eggs back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
- Decorate:
- Immediately sprinkle with pastel sprinkles or drizzle with a contrasting color of melted chocolate for a decorative touch.
- Set the Coating:
- Let the coated Oreo balls sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens (about 15-20 minutes).
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Transfer the Oreo balls to a serving plate or pack them in decorative boxes for gifting.
Notes
- Use golden Oreos for a lighter flavor or a fun twist.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Experiment with different decorations, like edible glitter or crushed candy pieces.
