The 3 Ingredients
These No Bake Oreo Truffles require just three simple ingredients:
- Oreos Cookies: The base of the truffles, providing a crunchy, chocolatey texture. You can substitute with other sandwich cookies, like chocolate wafer cookies, for a slightly different flavor.
- Cream Cheese: Adds creaminess to the truffle filling. For a lighter option, you can use reduced-fat cream cheese or even mascarpone for a richer taste.
- Chocolate: Use a mixture of white, semi-sweet and dark cooking chocolate for best results.

Helpful Tips & Variations
Here are some tips to make your No Bake Oreo Truffles even better:
- Chill the Dough: After grinding the Oreo cookies and cream cheese, refrigerate the mixture for 15-20 minutes before rolling into balls. This makes them easier to shape and helps them hold their form.
- Use a Cookie Scoop: For perfectly even-sized truffles, use a small cookie scoop to form the balls. This ensures consistent size and makes the process quicker.
- Coat the Truffles in Layers: If you want a thicker chocolate coating, dip the truffles twice. Freeze them after the first dip, then dip again for a smooth, solid coating.
- Add Flavor to the Coating: Enhance the chocolate by adding a bit of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt before dipping the truffles.
- Make Ahead: These truffles store well in the fridge for up to a week, so you can make them in advance. Just let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture.
- Add Fun Toppings: Try using different flavored crushed cookies, nuts or even candy melts for coating to give your truffles a unique look and taste.
FAQs
An Oreo truffle is a no-bake treat made by mixing crushed Oreos with cream cheese, rolling into balls, and coating in chocolate.
If your Oreo balls are falling apart, it’s likely due to the mixture being too crumbly. To fix this, make sure you're using enough cream cheese to bind the Oreo crumbs together. If the mixture is too dry, try adding a little more cream cheese. Also, chill the balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before dipping them in chocolate to help them firm up.

📖 Recipe
No Bake Oreo Truffles
Ingredients
- 200 g (7 oz) Oreos approx. 18 cookies
- 120 g (4 oz) cream cheese full-fat
- 150 g (5.3 oz) white cooking chocolate
- 50 g (1.8 oz) semi-sweet or dark cooking chocolate for decoration
Instructions
- Roughly crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor, or place them in a ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin. Reserve 1 tablespoon of the crushed cookies for decoration.
- Add the cream cheese to the remaining crushed cookies. Pulse 2-3 times in the food processor, or mix with a spatula in a bowl until fully combined.
- Line a plate with wax paper. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 20g (0.7 oz) each, and place them on the prepared plate. Freeze for 30 minutes.
- While the truffles are chilling, melt the white cooking chocolate. Chop the chocolate roughly and place it in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted. If the glaze is too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil to thin it out. Repeat the same process for the semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
- Let the melted chocolate cool for 4-5 minutes before using. Line another plate with wax paper.
- Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each ball into the white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a spoon to help evenly pour the chocolate over the ball. Place the dipped truffles on the prepared plate.
- Immediately sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreos on top while the white chocolate is still wet. If drizzling with semi-sweet or dark chocolate, wait 5 minutes for the white chocolate to set before adding the drizzle.
- Freeze the truffles for an additional 15 minutes to firm up before serving.
