Equipment Needed To Make the White Chocolate Oreo Truffle Balls Recipe

Food processor. I love my food processor and it makes it so easy to crush the Oreos and make this dessert fast.

Electric stand or hand mixer. If you don’t have a food processor you will need to crush the Oreos by hand and mix the ingredients using a stand mixer.

Cookie Scoop. This handy tool is a kitchen essential for me and allows you to get each cookie or oreo truffle perfectly uniform.

Ingredients For Your White Chocolate Oreo Truffles

• Oreo Sandwich Cookies. You can actually use any flavor of sandwich cookies for variations on Oreo truffles. I don’t use the double stuffed variety.
• Cream Cheese – Full-fat version is preferred. Set it out so that it comes to room temperature.
• Melting Chocolate, Candy Melts or Almond Bark.

How To Make White Chocolate Oreo Truffles

Step 1 – Line a baking sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper. This will keep the Oreo snowballs from sticking.

Step 2 – Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until the cookies become fine crumbs.

Step 3 – Cut the cream cheese into chunks and add the cream cheese to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is well blended and forms a large ball.

Step 4 – Using a small cookie scoop, portion the cookie dough into 1-inch balls and roll it into a smooth ball.

Optional: For best results, chill the oreo balls 30 to 60 minutes prior to decorating.

Step 5 – Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and tap to remove the excess chocolate. Place the cookie ball on the prepared cookie sheet and immediately decorate by rolling in coconut, additional cookie crumbs, or sprinkles.

Step 6 – Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or until firm. 

Tips to Make White Chocolate Snowball Truffles

Don’t use light cream cheese. It is thinner and will not set as firmly.

I prefer to chill the balls for 30 to 60 minutes before dipping them. They set up quickly in the refrigerator.

I use a meat fork to dip the balls. It has fine tines and straddles the balls perfectly.

If using candy melts, add vegetable shortening or coconut oil to the candy as it melts. This makes the candy spread move evenly and creates a smoother shell around the truffle.

Be sure to add your sprinkles, coconut, or other garnish quickly before the white chocolate hardens.

Substitutions and Variations

Use lemon Oreos to make White Chocolate Lemon Truffles.
