Oreo Balls

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

This simple dessert recipe is always a crowd-pleaser and can be made even in the barest kitchen. If you have a refrigerator and a way to melt chocolate, you’re good to go! I’ve made these in a ski mountain condo, in various college apartments, and even a hotel room kitchenette. All you need is two bowls, a package of Oreo cookies, a block of cream cheese, and chocolate chips. If you have vanilla to add, that’s an added bonus!

Oreo Balls

My sister’s friend Christina taught us how to make these Oreo balls when I was in high school and I’ve been making them ever since.

Here’s how it goes: separate the cookies and cream into two bowls. I use the twist method to take off the top cookie and use the backside of a butter knife to scrape off the cream. Bonus tip: separating cookies is a great way to get kids or innocent bystanders involved.

Oreo Balls

Mix the softened cream cheese and vanilla (if using) into the cookie cream. Then crush the cookies: when possible, I crush the cookies using a food processor, but I’ve also tossed them all into a large plastic and used a rolling pin (or my hands!) to crush them.

Mix the cookies and the cream mixture together and form little balls (seriously – make them little. These guys are RICH.) Refrigerate until solid, then cover in melted chocolate and cool. Then you’re done!

They also keep in the fridge for a few days, so they’re easy to make in advance of a big get-together.
