These white chocolate Oreo balls are incredibly easy to make. With just a few ingredients, you can create a simple, crowd-pleasing Oreo dessert—perfect as 3-ingredient Oreo truffles.
It’s the most wonderful time of year and I’ve been having so much fun with holiday baking. While I have some savory recipes planned, I can’t resist making sweets and cookies—especially anything that lets me roll treats in crushed candy canes. These Oreo truffles are simple, festive, and ideal for sharing.
Love Oreo cookies? If you’re a fan of the classic chocolate sandwich cookie, you’ll enjoy how their chocolatey crumbs combine with cream cheese and a white chocolate coating to create a truffle that tastes a bit like Oreo cheesecake.
What ingredients do you need for Oreo truffles?
This recipe uses only three main ingredients:
- 1 package Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 1 block (8 oz) full-fat cream cheese, at room temperature
- 8 oz white chocolate (or dark chocolate), chopped
Optional decorations: crushed candy canes, sprinkles, chopped nuts, or extra melted chocolate for drizzling.
How to make 3-ingredient Oreo truffles
Start by crushing the whole Oreos, filling and all. A food processor makes this quick—pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Once the cookies are crushed, add the room-temperature cream cheese in pieces and pulse just until combined, or stir together by hand with a wooden spoon. Chill the mixture in the refrigerator for about an hour so it firms up—this makes rolling much easier.
After chilling, scoop small portions with a tablespoon or small cookie scoop and roll into even balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for one hour; freezing helps the balls hold their shape when dipped.
Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave in 20–30 second bursts, stirring between intervals until smooth. If you’ll decorate the truffles, have toppings ready because the coating sets quickly.
Use a fork or a dipping tool to submerge each frozen truffle in the melted chocolate, shake off excess, then return it to the baking sheet. Immediately add sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or chopped nuts before the coating hardens. Let the chocolate set, then serve.
Storage
Because these truffles contain cream cheese, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They’ll be fine at room temperature for a few hours if you’re serving them at a party. Alternatively, keep them in the freezer for a firmer treat—frozen truffles are delicious straight from the freezer.
How to drizzle chocolate
Once the dipped truffles have set, melt a little additional chocolate and transfer it to a small sandwich bag. Snip a tiny corner off the bag and drizzle the chocolate over the truffles for a pretty finish. If you’re adding a contrasting drizzle, wait until the first coating is fully set before drizzling.
I hope you enjoy these truffles—they’re a quick and easy addition to holiday baking (or any-day treats). They’re no-bake, low-effort, and always a hit.
