Oreo Truffles
These Oreo Truffles are easy to make and delicious for all Oreo lovers. Serve this dessert at your next birthday or holiday party!
I am a girl of some talents when it comes to the kitchen, but in a lot of ways, I’m just a simple girl with simple pleasures. Oreos are at the top of that list of pleasures. Especially if they’re double-stuffed. Give me a glass of milk on the side, and I am in heaven. I was introduced to this homemade Oreo Truffles recipe at my little sister’s baby shower years ago. I fell in love after one bite, and I think you will too! They are a simple yet elegant way to transform this classic cookie.
These decadent candies are perfect for any holiday party or special occasion. I love to make a bunch for our Christmas parties, and anytime there is a baby shower, I cater. They are always a wonderful crowd-pleasing no-bake dessert. Who doesn’t love Oreos?!
OREO TRUFFLES
The center of these truffles is a mixture of crushed cookies and cream cheese. The combination of the two creates a creamy, rich, chocolatey center. Once these are blended, roll the mixture into one-inch balls and freeze. Dip each frozen truffle into melted candy chocolate, then quickly sprinkle a pinch of crushed Oreos on top before it sets. Let the chocolate set and serve! You will hear a symphony of ‘mmm’ as everyone around you takes their first bite.

- No-Bake Dessert: No oven required! Perfect for when you want a quick, fuss-free sweet.
- Crowd-Pleaser: Creamy, chocolatey, and bite-sized; everyone will be reaching for seconds.

Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) OREO cookies divided
- 1 block (8 ounces) cream cheese softened
- 1 bag (10 ounces) Ghirardelli chocolate melting wafers (or chocolate candy coating)
- 1 bag (10 ounces) Ghirardelli white chocolate melting wafers (or white chocolate candy coating)
Instructions
Place OREO cookies in a food processor. Pulse until cookies become fine crumbs. (If you don’t have a food processor, place cookies in a large zip-lock bag, seal shut, and pound with a rolling pin).
Remove 1/4 cup of the cookie crumbs and set aside. Place all the remaining cookie crumbs in a large bowl. Add the cream cheese and stir with a spatula until combined and smooth.
Roll mixture into 24 one-inch balls. Place balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and set in the freezer to set for one hour.
Heat the melting wafers in separate bowls in the microwave, according to package directions. Dip half of the chilled OREO balls into the chocolate and the other half into the white chocolate. Let excess drip off. Immediately sprinkle tops with the reserved cookie crumbs.
Place balls onto another parchment-lined baking sheet. Let truffles set completely before serving. Store leftover truffles in the refrigerator.
Servings
Yields: 24 Oreo truffles.
Storage
Store leftover Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them in a freezer-safe container (with parchment between layers) for up to 2 months. When ready to enjoy, thaw in the refrigerator until soft enough to bite into. This is a chilled, no-bake dessert. No reheating needed.
Holly’s Tips for The Best Oreo Truffles:
- Use Full-Fat Cream Cheese: It blends smoothly and gives the truffles a richer flavor.
- The Chocolate Matters: I highly suggest using semi-sweet candy coating/chocolate or chocolate bark. This style of chocolate will harden and set up better after you dip each truffle. (Don’t use regular chocolate chips. They won’t set.) You can try using different kinds of baking chocolate/ candy coating, such as dark, white, or milk. This way, you get to serve a variety of truffles that will delight everyone’s palate.
- Crush The Cookies: The finer the crumbs, the smoother and creamier your filling will be.
- Chill Before Dipping: Freezing the rolled truffles helps them hold their shape and makes coating easier.
- Thin The Chocolate If Needed: If your melted chocolate is too thick, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening for a smoother dip.
- Decorate Right Away: Add the cookie crumbs, sprinkles, or drizzle while the chocolate is still wet so it sticks.
- Work In Small Batches: Keep half the truffles in the freezer while dipping the rest so they stay firm.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Yes! These truffles are perfect for making in advance. Prepare them up to 2 days ahead and store in the fridge until serving, or freeze for longer storage.
Absolutely! Try Golden Oreos, flavored Oreos (like mint or peanut butter), or even seasonal varieties for a fun twist.
If the mixture feels sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes before rolling into balls.
Use a fork or dipping tool to lower each ball into the melted chocolate, tap off the excess, then slide it onto parchment paper to set.
Yes, because they contain cream cheese. Keep them chilled until ready to serve.
To make Oreo Truffles dairy-free or vegan, use vegan-friendly Oreos (regular Oreos are already dairy-free) and replace the cream cheese with a plant-based cream cheese alternative like Kite Hill, Tofutti, or Miyoko’s. For dipping, choose dairy-free chocolate melting wafers or vegan chocolate chips (brands like Enjoy Life, Hu Kitchen, or Trader Joe’s vegan chocolate are great). Melt the chocolate the same way as the original recipe, then roll, chill, dip, and decorate as usual.
To make these Oreo Truffles gluten-free, simply swap the regular Oreos for a certified gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookie from brands like: Glutino, Kinnikinnick “KinniToos,” or Great Value GF Chocolate Sandwich Cookies. Everything else in this recipe is naturally gluten-free, but always double-check your chocolate brand to ensure there’s no cross-contamination. Prepare the truffles the same way: pulse, mix, roll, freeze, and dip for a gluten-free version that tastes just as good.
