How to Make Oreo Truffles
See recipe card below this post for ingredient quantities and full instructions.
Pulse Oreos in a food processor to form fine crumbs. (You can also do this by hand.) Combine with softened cream cheese.
Roll into 1-inch balls and freezer for 30 minutes or more, then dip into melted chocolate.
Transfer to the refrigerator to set for about 10 minutes. Melt more chocolate if desired and use a fork to drizzle it over the truffles. Refrigerate for 10 minutes or until ready to serve.
Make-Ahead Method
- Oreo Truffles are a great make-ahead treat and can.be made up to 5 days of time and can be stored in the refrigerator until ready to serve!
- To make them longer than 5 days ahead, freeze them and let them thaw in the refrigerator prior to serving.
Pro Tips For This Recipe
- Don’t allow any moisture to come in contact with the melted chocolate, this will cause it to seize when it’s melted. This includes using wet utensils to stir, etc.
- Don’t melt the chocolate too quickly, low and slow is best. Follow package instructions.
- Use melting chocolate or Baker’s bars as opposed to chocolate chips to ensure a smoother consistency.
- To color the chocolate: Add 4 drops of oil-based food coloring to melted white chocolate and stir until uniform in color. (Oil based food coloring is needed to ensure that the chocolate doesn’t seize.)
- You can also decorate the tops with sprinkles or crushed cookies right after they’ve been dipped.
Storage
- These can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or you can freeze them for up to 3 months.

Hello! These look so yummy!! I’m thinking about making these for the holidays this year. Can you tell me if they would hold up for gifting, say in a cellophane gift bag? I am wanting to possibly hand them out to a few of my neighbors. ????????
Hey Debbi!! I think that would work perfectly!! What a great idea, you could use festive holiday colors too! 🙂 Enjoy!!!
How long can these be kept? Im making some for Thanksgiving but id like to make some for Christmas while I’m at it. Can these be kept frozen? Or how long will they keep in the fridge? thanks so much!
Hi Dawn, you can definitely freeze them and then just let them thaw out in the fridge the day before you want to serve them. I love eating them frozen too, but I’m weird 😉
Hi! Quick check. Once you are done with the toppings do you keep them in room temperature or in the fridge?
Hi Azrina! I’d recommend storing them in the fridge- I Hope you enjoy them! 🙂
These look so easy to make and easy to eat, especially in a blizzard. We will burn them off shoveling in no time. I hear you on that I’m down in Mass and we’ve gotten about 5 feet in the last month.
Hey Courtney! You’re not kidding…. shoveling has taken over our lives! But, like you said, at least we can then indulge in some tasty treats (such as this) without feeling bad! I hope you’re surviving this cold snap we are having… stay warm! Thanks for visiting!
What a taste bud sensation!!!
It sure is, Donel! 😉
they look delicious! Will definitely try these!
Thank you Francine, they are sooo tasty, my husband’s been loving them as an after dinner treat 🙂 I have a feeling once you make them once you’ll want to make them again!
Oh myyy!!! I love anything that has cream cheese, oreos, and white chocolate! I’m going to have to make this this week!
Hey Iliana, I totally agree, the combination is just way too good, the inside is like biting into an Oreo cookie cheesecake! And the white chocolate around the outside is just way too good, I’m loving these.. they’re slowing my surely disappearing, I might have to make more soon 🙂
I absolutely love truffles and these are gorgeous and I bet there delicious too!! I would love to win this cookbook and I follow Sally’s Baking Addiction everyday!!!
Hey Wendy!! I know, truffles are my new obsession now… I want to think of other filling options now! (Cherries.. I want to try cherries!)- Think it’s hard? I follow Sally every day TOO- I’m crossing my fingers and toes that you win her cookbook Wendy! 🙂
I’ve made these before. They are delicious and decadent and best of all simple to do!
I think I might be late on my discovery of these! And it’s a shame too because it could have gotten me out of some very last minute dessert obligations in the past! 🙂 Better late than never I suppose, this will be my new to-go recipe when I need to make a recipe fast! 🙂 Thanks for visiting!
Ohhh I love truffles and these look so tempting! Gorgeous clicks ❤️ I would have never guessed the lighting issue! Hope the weather gets better for you soon. Sending across some sunshine from Florida
