Why You’ll Love Oreo Truffles Recipe

I love this recipe because it’s incredibly simple and doesn’t require turning on the oven. I like how customizable it is with different Oreo flavors and toppings, and I enjoy that it can be made ahead of time. The creamy center paired with the chocolate coating always feels indulgent and special.

Ingredients

(Note: All ingredient amounts are listed in the recipe card below.)

▢1 package Oreos, any flavor. Double stuffed or regular both work
▢8 oz. cream cheese, softened
▢12 oz. semisweet chocolate
▢6 oz. white melting chocolate for topping

Directions

I start by placing the Oreos into a food processor and blending them until fine crumbs form. I add the softened cream cheese and blend again until a sticky dough comes together.

I roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and set them on a plate, then place them in the freezer for at least 30 minutes so they firm up. While they chill, I melt the semisweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl according to the package instructions.

I line a baking sheet with wax paper and remove the Oreo balls from the freezer. I drop each ball into the melted chocolate, spoon chocolate over the top, then lift it out with a fork. I gently tap off the excess chocolate and place each truffle onto the wax paper. Once they’re all dipped, I refrigerate them for at least 10 minutes to set.

To decorate, I melt the white chocolate according to the package instructions. I dip a fork into the melted white chocolate and drizzle it over the truffles. I return them to the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, until fully set, and then store them chilled until ready to serve.

Servings and Timing

I make this recipe to yield about 25 truffles. Prep time is around 20 minutes, chilling time is about 40 minutes, and total time comes together quickly with no baking required.

Variations

I sometimes use flavored Oreos like mint, peanut butter, or golden Oreos to switch things up. When I want extra texture, I sprinkle crushed cookies or sprinkles on top before the chocolate sets. I also enjoy using dark chocolate instead of semisweet for a richer finish.

Storage/Reheating

I store Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When I want to keep them longer, I freeze them for up to 3 months and thaw them in the fridge before serving. I don’t reheat them, as they’re best served chilled.

FAQs

Can I make Oreo truffles ahead of time?

I often make them several days in advance since they store well in the refrigerator.

Do I need a food processor?

I prefer using one, but I can also crush the Oreos in a sealed bag with a rolling pin and mix by hand.

Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?

I find full-fat cream cheese works best for texture, but reduced-fat can be used if needed.

Why do my truffles crack?

I notice cracking usually happens if the balls are too cold compared to the melted chocolate.

Can I use chocolate chips instead of melting chocolate?

I prefer melting chocolate or baking bars because they coat more smoothly.

How do I keep the chocolate from seizing?

I make sure everything stays completely dry and melt the chocolate slowly.

Can I skip the white chocolate topping?

I sometimes skip it, and the truffles are still delicious with just one chocolate coating.

Are these good for gifting?

I love gifting these because they look elegant and travel well when chilled.

Can I color the white chocolate?

I use oil-based food coloring when I want colored drizzles for holidays.

Do these need to stay refrigerated?

I always keep them refrigerated since the filling contains cream cheese.

Conclusion

These Oreo truffles are one of my go-to no-bake desserts because they’re easy, rich, and always a crowd-pleaser. I love how simple ingredients come together to create a treat that feels festive, indulgent, and perfect for sharing.
