How to Make the Recipe
Let’s dive into the step-by-step process for making these irresistible Oreo balls!
- Line a medium-sized baking sheet or cutting board with parchment paper and set aside.
- In the bowl of a large food processor, add in Oreos (WITH the filling). Grind until the Oreos become very fine and crumbly.
- Add your melted butter and 2 tablespoons of milk to the Oreo crumbs. Pulse the mixture until it’s well moistened and sticks together without crumbling. If needed, pulse in more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the mixture comes together.
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon sized portions and roll between your hands into a smooth ball. Arrange on your parchment-lined baking sheet.
- If you find the mixture is too crumbly to roll, blend in some more milk and try again. If you accidentally add too much milk and the mixture is too sticky to roll, scoop out the portions and drop them onto your baking sheet, then chill in the freezer for 5-10 minutes or until firm enough to roll smoothly.
- Place the Oreo balls in the freezer to chill for at least 15 minutes or until solid before dipping in chocolate.
- Melt chocolate in your microwave or on the stove over a double boiler. To melt in your microwave, place the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 10-second bursts, pausing after each one to stir, until melted and smooth. To melt on your stovetop, place a pot filled with 1 inch of water over high heat until the water starts steaming but not boiling. Reduce heat to low to maintain a very light simmer. Place chocolate in a heat-safe bowl that’s large enough to fit into your pot without the bottom of the bowl touching the water. Warm the chocolate, stirring frequently, until melted.
- If using, mix oil into the melted chocolate and set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. If the chocolate is too hot, it can melt the Oreo balls!
- Drop one Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and quickly toss to coat. Use a fork or chocolate dipping utensil to lift the ball up and gently shake over the bowl to allow the excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the chocolate-dipped Oreo ball back onto your parchment-lined baking sheet. Leave the truffles plain or top with some flaky sea salt or crushed Oreo crumbs while the chocolate is still wet. You can also drizzle the tops with white chocolate after the coating has firmed up. Repeat with the remaining truffles.
- Chill the Oreo balls in the fridge or freezer until the outside chocolate layer is set. Keep stored in the fridge until ready to serve!
Pro Tips for Making the Recipe
Here are some tips to ensure your Oreo balls turn out perfectly every time:
- Make sure the Oreo mixture is not too dry or too wet. If it’s too dry, add a little more milk; if it’s too wet, let it sit for a few minutes to firm up.
- Chilling the Oreo balls before dipping them in chocolate is crucial. This ensures they hold their shape and don’t fall apart when coated.
- Experiment with different types of chocolate or add-ins like crushed nuts or sprinkles for a personalized touch.
- If you’re short on time, you can skip the dipping step and just enjoy the Oreo balls as they are—they’re still delicious!
How to Serve
These Oreo balls are incredibly versatile when it comes to serving. Here are a few ideas:
- Serve them as a quick and easy dessert for your next weeknight dinner or family gathering.
- Package them in cute containers or bags for a thoughtful homemade gift.
- Use them as a topping for ice cream or a sweet addition to your morning yogurt.
- Bring them to a potluck or holiday party—everyone will love them!
Make Ahead and Storage
One of the best things about this recipe is how well it keeps. Here’s how to store your Oreo balls:
- Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
- You can also freeze them for up to 2 months—simply thaw at room temperature when you’re ready to serve.
- If you want to make them ahead, you can prepare the Oreo mixture and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours before rolling and dipping.
And there you have it—your new go-to dessert recipe that’s sure to become a family favorite! Whether you’re a fan of dark, semi-sweet, or white chocolate, these Oreo balls are a must-try. Happy baking and don’t forget to share your creations with your loved ones!
