Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Oreo cookie base
  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese Soften to room temperature before mixing.
White chocolate coating and decorations
  • 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers Melt per package directions until smooth.
  • 1 Red candy melts Use for a thin drizzle.
  • 1 Blue candy melts Use for a thin drizzle.
  • 1 Red, white, and blue star sprinkles Add immediately after drizzling so they stick.

Equipment

  • 1 sheet pan
  • 1 food processor

Method
 

Make the Oreo dough
  1. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs with no large pieces remaining, with a visual cue of a uniform sandy texture.
  2. Mix Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined into a thick uniform dough, stopping when the mixture holds together and looks evenly blended.
Chill the truffles
  1. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, then freeze for 30 minutes until firm to the touch.
Coat with white chocolate
  1. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions until smooth, using a visual cue of glossy, pourable consistency without lumps.
  2. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the white chocolate using a fork, let excess drip off, and return to the parchment sheet with a neat, fully coated surface.
Decorate and set
  1. Melt the red candy melts separately and drizzle over the coated balls in thin lines, then immediately drizzle in blue for a red-and-blue stripe look.
  2. While the coating is still wet, top with star sprinkles, then refrigerate for 30 minutes until fully set before serving.

Notes

Pro tip: Keep the balls frozen until the moment you dip so the coating stays smooth and the truffles hold their round shape. Store in the refrigerator in a covered container up to 3 days; freeze up to 2 months (best texture). For a dietary swap, use cream cheese that’s labeled lactose-free if needed—texture remains similar.
