Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies (crushed)
- 8 ounces (227 grams) cream cheese (softened)
Coating:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) semi-sweet chocolate (melted)
Optional Decoration:
- Additional crushed Oreo cookies (for topping)
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor, ensuring a uniform, sandy texture.
- Transfer cookie crumbs to a spacious mixing bowl and incorporate softened cream cheese, blending thoroughly until a cohesive, smooth mixture forms.
- Utilize clean hands to craft uniform spherical treats, approximately one inch in diameter, positioning each delicately on a parchment-lined tray.
- Rapidly chill the assembled orbs in the freezer for 15 minutes, solidifying their structure and enhancing handling capability.
- Gently melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, maintaining a temperature around 90°F to ensure optimal consistency.
- Submerge each chilled sphere completely in molten chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully return to the lined tray.
- Refrigerate the chocolate-enrobed delicacies for 10-15 minutes at 40°F, permitting the coating to crystallize and develop a glossy, firm exterior.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth blending without lumps.
- Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to create uniform-sized Oreo balls for consistent texture and appearance.
- Chill the balls before dipping in chocolate to prevent crumbling and create a cleaner chocolate coating.
- For dietary variations, swap regular Oreos with gluten-free or dairy-free alternatives to accommodate different nutritional needs.
