Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies (classic, not double-stuffed)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate, melted
Decoration Ingredients:
- 1 cup (80 grams) shredded coconut
- Pink candy melts (for bunny feet and ears)
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into fine, powdery crumbs, creating a uniform texture.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into the Oreo crumbs, blending thoroughly until a cohesive, moldable dough emerges.
- Gently form the mixture into compact, uniform 1-inch spheres, arranging them carefully on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the formed balls in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, allowing them to firm up and maintain their shape during coating.
- Melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, ensuring a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Delicately immerse each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate, using a fork to ensure complete, even coverage.
- Allow excess chocolate to drip off, then return the coated balls to the parchment-lined surface.
- Quickly sprinkle or roll the wet chocolate surface with shredded coconut, creating a soft, furry bunny-like texture.
- While the chocolate remains tacky, strategically place pink candy melts to represent bunny feet.
- Cut small oval-shaped pieces to simulate bunny ears, positioning them precisely on the coconut-covered balls.
- Let the decorated treats set at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or refrigerate briefly until the chocolate hardens completely.
- Arrange the whimsical bunny Oreo balls on a decorative platter, ready to delight and surprise guests.
Notes
- Chill the Oreo mixture thoroughly before shaping to prevent sticky, messy hands and ensure clean, smooth ball formation.
- Use white chocolate with a higher cocoa butter content for smoother, more even coating that sets beautifully and provides a professional finish.
- Toast coconut shreds lightly for enhanced flavor and a more golden, textured appearance that adds depth to the bunny butt design.
- Keep candy melts and decorative elements at room temperature to prevent cracking or uneven attachment when creating adorable bunny details.
