Description

Creamy chocolate-coated Easter egg oreo balls bring sweet magic to holiday dessert tables. Rich cookie crumbs blended with cream cheese create irresistible bite-sized treats you will devour with pure delight.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 package (14 ounces / 397 grams) Oreo cookies
  • 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened

Coating Ingredients:

  • 2 cups (340 grams) white chocolate or candy melts (assorted colors)

Decoration Ingredients:

  • Sprinkles
  • Colored drizzle

Instructions

  1. Pulverize Oreo cookies into a fine, sandy texture using a food processor, ensuring no large chunks remain.
  2. Integrate softened cream cheese with the cookie crumbs, kneading thoroughly until a cohesive, moldable dough develops.
  3. Craft the mixture into petite egg-shaped formations, arranging them on a parchment-lined tray.
  4. Chill the proto-confections in the freezer for approximately 20 minutes to stabilize their structure.
  5. Liquify white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe vessel, heating in brief 30-second bursts and stirring between intervals until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.
  6. Delicately immerse each frozen Oreo egg into the molten chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage, allowing excess to cascade back into the bowl.
  7. Return chocolate-enrobed eggs to the lined tray, promptly embellishing with festive sprinkles or executing decorative chocolate drizzles while the coating remains glossy and wet.
  8. Allow the decorated treats to solidify at ambient temperature or expedite the process by refrigerating for roughly 10 minutes until perfectly set and firm.

Notes

  • Customize the texture by adjusting the amount of cream cheese for a softer or firmer consistency.
  • Experiment with different Oreo flavors like mint, peanut butter, or birthday cake to create unique variations.
  • Use silicone egg-shaped molds for perfectly shaped Oreo eggs with minimal effort.
  • Freeze the Oreo balls before dipping to prevent crumbling and ensure a smoother chocolate coating.
  • For gluten-free options, substitute regular Oreos with gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookies.
  • Create a dairy-free version by using vegan cream cheese and dairy-free white chocolate.
  • Add food coloring to the melted chocolate for pastel Easter-themed decorations.
  • Prevent chocolate from seizing by ensuring no water touches the melting process.
