Bailey’s Oreo Truffles: Rich No-Bake Dessert

Love Oreo truffles? Give them an decadent upgrade with Bailey’s Irish Cream. These Bailey’s Oreo Truffles are rich, creamy, and have just the right hint of Irish cream flavor.

Perfect for a St. Patrick’s Day dessert, a cozy holiday party dessert, or just a grown-up sweet treat to keep in the fridge, these Bailey’s Oreo truffles are a luxurious spin on a traditional Oreo ball.

I really love Oreo truffles generally, and they flavors meld so well with the Bailey’s. It reminds me of when I used to spike my hot chocolate with Bailey’s in grad school as a Floridian going through my first winter.

And just like the classic version, they’re really easy to make—only 4 ingredients and no baking required! The extra liquid of Bailey’s makes them just a little creamier than the originals too.

How easy are they? Just crush Oreos, mix with cream cheese and Bailey’s, then dip in melted chocolate or candy coating.

Let’s spike some Oreo truffles!

Steps to make Baileys Oreo Truffles

1. Warm cream cheese to room temperature to soften.

2. Pulverize Oreos in food processor or in a zip lock bag with a rolling pin.

3. Use a hand mixer to mix crushed Oreos, cream cheese, Baileys and a pinch of salt until fully combined. Start your hand-mixer on low so the Oreo dust doesn’t fly up and gradually increase to medium speed.

NOTE: If you’ve made original Oreo Truffles before, this batter will be a touch wetter with the Bailey’s. It makes the final product a little creamier at the end.

4. Form dough into balls roughly the size of a cookie scoop and place on parchment lined cookie sheet.

5. Put Oreo balls in the freezer for about 10 minutes to chill before candy coating.

6. While Oreo balls chill, pour ½ cup of candy melt pieces into a microwave safe cup or small bowl. Add ½ teaspoon of oil to start.

NOTE: Getting the right consistency for the candy melts will depend on your candy melts, microwave and oil. Start slow with oil amount & cook time and check it frequently. Adding too much oil will prevent the candy coating from firming up. 

7. Microwave candy melts for 30 seconds at half power. Stir and microwave again for another 30 seconds. Add a little more oil if needed. The consistency should run off the spoon like paint, not water. My microwave took 1:15 cook time to get a smooth liquid.

8. Place an Oreo ball on a fork and gently spoon the melted candy coating over until it is well coated. Allow excess coating to run off by very gently shaking the fork.

9. Return the ball to parchment and allow the coating to harden. Repeat with the rest of the balls, making more candy coating if needed.

10. Allow balls to set in the fridge for at least an hour. You can also freeze them for 2 months. Thaw them in the freezer so they don’t get condensation while defrosting.
