You won’t be able to eat just one of these Oreo Balls or little round balls of goodness! Made with only two ingredients they are simple and east to make!
Why You’ll Love This Dessert
Several years ago I was helping a friend with a big church dinner. She asked me to make 175 Oreo Balls for dessert!! Initially I thought she was crazy and that it would take me all day but she is a good friend so, of course, I said yes. Well, I made 175, minus the few that I ate and I couldn’t believe how simple and easy it was. I was done in no time and they are crazy delicious! 
Ingredients Needed
- Oreos. You can use the traditional chocolate Oreo but you can use your favorite flavor. I love the Golden Oreos and used them here to make these Easter Oreo Balls.
- Cream Cheese. Use full fat, regular cream cheese.
How to Make Oreo Balls
- Place 9 of the Oreos in the blender or food processor and blend. Reserve for later.
- Crush remaining 36 Oreos in the blender and keep them separate.
- Beat softened cream cheese the paddle attachment in a stand mixer until smooth.
- Pour in larger bowl of crushed Oreos.
- Form dough into balls.
- Make your balls about 1 inch around. Using this cookie scoop makes the job easier After forming into a ball, roll them into the reserved crushed Oreo. If you are going to dip them in chocolate you do not need to roll them in the remaining cookie crumbs.
- Place on cookie sheet and refrigerate until firm.
- Keep refrigerated until ready to serve and refrigerate any remaining Oreo Truffles.
Tips from Leigh Anne
- I recommend using regular Oreos, not the Double Stuffed Oreos as the double stuffed as too much filling.
- Use regular cream cheese for the best results, not the light cream cheese
- Don’t have a food processor or a blender? You can also finely crush the Oreos in a large resealable bag using a rolling pin.
Chocolate Dipped Oreo Balls
This version of Oreo truffles are rolled in Oreo cookie crumbs, another fancier version is to dip them into chocolate after forming them into balls. You can find all the details on how to do that over here. There is even a video to show you how.
The easiest and quickest way to make them though is to just roll them in crushed Oreo and they taste delicious!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other flavors of Oreos to make Oreo Balls?
Yes! I recently helped at a wedding where they had all different flavors of Oreo Balls using all the fun flavor of Oreo cookies that are available.
Do they need to be refrigerated?
Yes, because of the cream cheese Oreo Balls should be kept in the refrigerator in an airtight container. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to a week. The Oreo balls will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Can I freeze them?
You can also freeze the Oreo balls for up to 2 months in an airtight container. If you are going to stack the Oreo balls, make sure you put parchment paper or wax paper in between the balls.

I have never frozen them but think they should be fine. You can freeze cheesecake so think these would be the same. Here’s the large quanity recipe – have fun!
Oreo Truffles
120 Oreos (14 per package in Costco pack)
32 oz. cream cheese, softened
Crush about 25 Oreos in food processor to fine crumbs. Set aside for rolling. Crush remaining cookies. Add cream cheese. Mix until well blended. Roll into small balls ~1” in diameter. Roll in reserved cookie crumbs. Refrigerate. This should make 150-200 truffles, depending on the size. The goal is have them be bite-size. All measurements are approximate, depending on how much cream cheese vs. oreo flavor you like. You can also dip them in white or dark chocolate instead of rolling them in crumbs.

Hi, Leigh Anne–
Two quick questions…my sister has requested I make these for her daughter’s wedding (yes, they are a hit in our family!), so I am making about 200. When you made your large batch, how many packages of oreos and cream cheese were you able to mix at once? Also, have you ever tried freezing these, and if so, was it a success? Thank you so much!

I use the generic store brand and it works fine

Is there any recommended cream cheese?
Betty Van Riper says
I used my smalled Pampered Chef scoop and only got 37 dirt balls. Your scoop must be really tiny.
