How to Make Oreo Cheesecake Truffles
Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Balls
Crush the Oreos in a plastic bag using a rolling pin. Use a food processor instead if you prefer.
Mix the cream cheese and crushed Oreos until combined well.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and add them to a parchment-lined tray, storing them in the fridge until ready.
Step 2: Coat the Oreo Balls
Melt the pink candy melts in the microwave on high for 3 minutes, stirring every minute. Add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil and mix to combine.
Transfer the melted chocolate to a dipping jar or suitable dipping bowl.
Use toothpicks to dip the Oreo balls into the chocolate, tapping them lightly on the side of the jar to remove excess chocolate. Add the coated Oreo balls to the parchment-lined sheet and fill any toothpick holes with chocolate.
Step 3: Decorate the Oreo Balls
Melt the white candy melts in the microwave on high for 2 minutes, stirring every minute. Add the remaining coconut oil and mix. Place the chocolate in a frosting bag and make a small corner cut.
Drizzle the chocolate over each ball and top with the sprinkle mix and sanding sugar while the drizzle is still wet.
Allow the balls to set for 10 minutes or until hardened.
Tips & Tricks
- It’s easier and faster to mix the cream cheese with the crushed Oreos using a fork.
- The cream cheese must be softened for about an hour before combining it with crushed Oreos. Cold cream cheese will be hard to mix.
- Decrease the cream cheese when using Double Stuffed Oreos. Start with ¾ of the cream cheese and then work from there.
- Add coconut oil to the melted chocolate and heat for a few seconds if the chocolate becomes thick or difficult to work with before or while dipping.
- Don’t coat the Oreos too thinly, or the no bake Oreo balls will show through.
- White candy melts mixed with pink oil-based food dye can be used if you can’t source pink candy melts.
- The tip cut on the frosting bag must be small; otherwise, the white chocolate won’t be a drizzle but a thick mess.
- It’s best to drizzle and decorate one ball at a time as the chocolate dries quickly, as the sprinkles with sanding sugar won’t stick to the balls unless the chocolate is still wet.
- Use your own discretion when measuring the sprinkles and sanding sugar for decoration purposes.
- A small jelly jar is perfect for dipping into. Don’t use anything too tall, but rather small and just deep enough and wide enough to fit an Oreo ball into.
