Decadent Oreo Truffles: Easy 3-Ingredient Recipe

Craving a rich, chocolatey treat fast? Then you have to try these super easy to make classic Oreo truffles. They’re taste so decadent that I still can’t believe that they’re only 3-ingredients.

They’re smooth, creamy, and just so so good.

The first time I tried one, I couldn’t believe how good they were, and then I was even more shocked to learn how simple they are to make. If you love Oreo desserts, these are truly a must.

How easy are they? All you do is crush Oreos, mix with cream cheese, and a dip in melted chocolate or candy coating. You can have fun with the candy coating and decorations, so they’re great to personalize for any occasion of holidays (check out my pretty Christmas ones and fun 4th of July truffles for inspiration).

Whether you need a quick dessert, or just like to keep a bite-sized sweet treat handy in the fridge, give these Oreo truffles a try.

Let’s crush some Oreos!

Steps to make Oreo Ball

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 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.

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.
