Perfect for gifting, parties, or simply satisfying your sweet cravings, these bite-sized indulgences come together with just a few ingredients. Even better? They store beautifully, meaning you can make them ahead for any occasion.


What Kind of Oreos Should I Use for Oreo Truffles?

Classic Oreos are the go-to choice because they offer that perfect balance of chocolate cookie and cream filling. However, you can get creative with seasonal flavors or even Double Stuf Oreos for extra richness. Just be mindful of the sweetness—flavored versions might change the overall balance of the truffle.


Ingredients for the Oreo Truffles

  • Oreos: The backbone of the truffle, these cookies provide both structure and chocolate flavor.
  • Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese binds the crushed Oreos together into a smooth, pliable dough.
  • Chocolate Coating: Melting chocolate or candy melts create a glossy shell around each truffle.
  • White Chocolate: Used for the decorative drizzle that adds both flair and a hint of creamy sweetness.
  • Oreo Crumbs (optional): A sprinkle of extra crushed Oreos on top adds texture and reinforces the signature flavor.

How To Make the Oreo Truffles

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

Add the whole Oreos (filling included) to a food processor. Pulse until the cookies become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese

In a bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or spatula to blend until a uniform dough forms. The texture should be thick and sticky.

Step 3: Roll Into Balls

Scoop out about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball using your hands. Place the formed balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Chill the Truffles

Place the tray in the freezer for about 20–30 minutes. This step helps firm up the balls so they don’t fall apart when dipped in chocolate.

Step 5: Coat in Chocolate

Melt your chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short bursts in the microwave. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off before placing them back on the tray.

Step 6: Add White Chocolate Drizzle

Once the chocolate coating sets slightly, drizzle melted white chocolate over each truffle using a piping bag or fork. For extra crunch and decoration, sprinkle with reserved Oreo crumbs before the drizzle hardens.


Serving and Storing Oreo Truffles

Oreo Truffles are best served chilled, straight from the fridge where the chocolate shell is firm and satisfying. Arrange them on a festive tray for parties or place in mini cupcake liners for a more polished look.

To store, keep them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They can also be frozen for longer storage—just let them thaw in the fridge before serving. This makes them a perfect make-ahead dessert for holidays and special events.


Frequently Asked Questions

How far in advance can I make Oreo Truffles?

You can prepare them up to two weeks ahead and store them in the fridge, or freeze them for up to 2 months.

Can I use flavored Oreos?

Yes! Flavored Oreos like mint, peanut butter, or birthday cake work well. Just be aware it will change the flavor profile of the truffle.

Do I need to temper the chocolate?

Tempering isn’t required for this recipe. Using candy melts or chocolate chips with a little coconut oil gives a smooth, glossy finish without the need for tempering.

Why are my truffles too soft?

If the mixture is too soft to roll, try chilling it for 15–20 minutes before shaping. Also, ensure you’re using full-fat cream cheese.

Can I make these without a food processor?

Absolutely. A rolling pin and zip-top bag can crush the cookies well enough, and you can mix the dough by hand or with a sturdy spatula.
