Print Recipe

These festive no-bake Oreo balls are a quick, stress-free holiday treat made with crushed cookies, cream cheese, and a white chocolate coating. Perfect for gifting or last-minute parties, they offer a rich, fudgy texture with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo Cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening
  • Christmas sprinkles or nonpareils
  • Optional: Crushed candy canes or red/green sanding sugar

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a Ziploc bag and rolling pin. Transfer crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and mix with a spatula or hands until fully combined. The mixture should resemble dark, damp sand.
  3. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to firm up the mixture.
  4. Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 tablespoon each) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Freeze the balls for 15 minutes to firm them up for dipping.
  6. Melt the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heat-proof bowl using microwave intervals or a double boiler until smooth.
  7. Dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Tap off excess chocolate and place back on the parchment paper.
  8. Immediately sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles or crushed candy canes before the chocolate sets.
  9. Let the coated balls sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or refrigerate for 5 minutes to set the chocolate before serving.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature to avoid lumps. Do not skip the chilling/freezing steps as they are crucial for rolling and dipping. If chocolate seizes, it may have gotten too hot or come into contact with water. Melt chocolate slowly and stir often.
