Any dessert that looks as gorgeous as this and requires no baking has my full attention! These are so fun to decorate- you can make these in different colors and decorate them with sprinkles, crushed cookies, and more!
There are a few key things to know in order to ensure that your chocolate is silky smooth! I also have great make-ahead and storage info for you, so let’s go!
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.

This is great! I have a box of left over Oreos from another project and this will help use them up. Do you think I could add a little rum to the balls for our grown up party?
I haven’t tried it but it should work fine! Just don’t add too much so that it doesn’t compromise the texture!
Could these be made using milk or dark chocolate instead on white chocolate?
*I meant instead “of” milk chocolate
You sure can!
Is gel food coloring considered oil based?
Hi Kristen, no I don’t think that would work.
Can you use vanilla candiquik as a substitute for white chocolate?
Hi Rose! You can!! If you find that the consistency is too thick, add a little bit of vegetable oil. But you very well may not need to. Enjoy! -Stephanie
Delicious! Thank you for sharing!
How many truffles does this make?
Hi Ashley! The number of servings are listed right at the top of the recipe card, (just for future reference)!- This makes 25 truffles. Enjoy!
Thank you for the fast reply I must have scrolled threw to fast thanks again!
For the Oreo Truffles can I use my blender instead of a food processor to finely crumble the Oreos?
That should be fine Catherine! Go for it!
What happens if you dont have a food processor can you use a blender instead
Hey April! A blender should work just fine, I’ve ever used a rolling pin to crush the bag before, LOL.
These Truffles Look Awesome! Can’t Wait to try them!
Hi Benny! You’re going to love these truffles, can’t wait for you to try them!!
Wow this looks delicious!
Do you know if it would work with vegan cream cheese (like tofutti)?
Thanks!!
Good Morning!
I apologize for the delay on this response, I needed to do a little reading about this kind of cream cheese as I’ve never used it before. From the reviews that I see, the consistency of Tofutti cream cheese is just like that of regular cream cheese, and the flavor is said to be great! Therefore, I would definitely say that you could use this kind of cream cheese for this recipe! 🙂
Have a great weekend!
What kind of baker bars should i use
