Ingredients
Scale
- 20 whole Oreos (about 14 oz / 400 g)
- 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar, sifted
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place 20 Oreos (14 oz / 400 g) in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a processor, put the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until you get fine crumbs but still some small chunks for texture. (About 5 minutes)
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Leave 8 oz (225 g) of cream cheese out at room temperature for about 30 minutes before mixing, or microwave for 10 seconds to soften.
- Mix Ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and 1/4 cup (30 g) powdered sugar. Beat or stir until creamy and smooth. Add the crushed Oreos and fold gently until evenly incorporated. The mixture should be thick but pliable. (5 minutes)
- Form the Balls: Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll between your palms into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate. (10 minutes)
- Chill: Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour to firm up. This step is key for the texture to set right. (1 hour)
- Optional Decoration: Before serving, dip the balls in melted chocolate, roll in sprinkles, or dust with extra crushed Oreos for a fancy touch.
Notes
If the mixture feels too soft to roll, chill it for 10-15 minutes. If too crumbly, add a tiny splash of milk or cream cheese. Use powdered sugar instead of granulated for smooth sweetness. Chill long enough to allow the balls to firm up and hold shape. Rolling hands slightly damp or dusted with powdered sugar helps prevent sticking.
