Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies (regular or Golden Oreos)
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup strawberry cake mix
- 1 cup powdered sugar
Coating and Decoration
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (for coating)
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese and strawberry cake mix until fully combined into a smooth dough-like mixture.
- Form balls: Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time and roll into uniform balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill the Oreo balls: Refrigerate the formed balls for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up and hold their shape during dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the Oreo balls: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated, then gently tap the fork to remove excess chocolate.
- Add sprinkles: While the white chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top for decoration to add a festive appearance.
- Set the coating: Allow the coated Oreo balls to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the white chocolate hardens and becomes firm.
Notes
- Use either regular or Golden Oreos according to your preference as the base for the balls.
- Make sure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing and a smooth texture.
- Chilling the balls before dipping prevents the coating from melting and helps maintain shape.
- White chocolate can be tempered using a double boiler for a shinier, more professional coating if desired.
- Store the finished Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Optional sprinkles add a fun decorative touch but can be omitted or replaced with other toppings like crushed freeze-dried strawberries.
