Instructions
This is an overview of the steps needed to make these delicious Oreo truffles. You can find the full directions in the recipe card.
Step 1: Add the Oreo cookies into a food processor and blend until you have fine crumbs.
Step 2: Add in the softened cream cheese and mix until combined and you have a soft dough.
Step 3: Remove the blade and fold in the sprinkles with a spatula.
Step 4: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to shape into 1 inch balls. Place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
Step 5: In a microwave-safe bowl microwave the white chocolate in 30 second increments until smooth. Add the food coloring if desired and stir well.
Step 6: Dip each Oreo ball into the chocolate and coat completely. Place the prepared pan to harden. Top with sprinkles immediately before the chocolate hardens.
Hint: I found that dipping is easier if you use a fork or a sturdy toothpick. I also like to freeze the oreo balls before dipping so that they do not fall apart while being dipped.
Variations

Storage
Fridge: For fridge storage, place the truffles in an airtight container or sealable bag to protect them from moisture and odors. It’s best to store them on a shelf in the coldest part of the fridge, which is usually the bottom shelf. This helps maintain their texture and prevents any potential cross-contamination. Remember to keep them away from strong-smelling foods. Funfetti Oreo Truffles can generally be stored in the fridge for up to one week.
Freezer: If you want to extend their shelf life, freezing is an option. To freeze the truffles, first, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, ensuring they are not touching each other. Freeze them on the baking sheet for about an hour until they become firm. Then, transfer the frozen truffles into an airtight container or freezer-safe bag. Label the container with the date and contents for easy identification. Funfetti Oreo Truffles can be stored in the freezer for up to two months.
Top tip
Use the whole Oreo: When making the truffle mixture, include the entire Oreo cookie (including the cream filling). This helps enhance the Oreo flavor in the truffles.

Funfetti Oreo Truffles
Equipment
- food processor
Ingredients
- 40 Golden Oreo Cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese room tempeature
- 12 ounces White Chocolate
- Food Coloring any color I used pink
- Sprinkles optional any color
Instructions
- In a food process place oreos and grind into crumbs. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to do this in two batches.
- Once you have all the crumbs of the oreos add in room temperature cream cheese. If cream cheese is not room temperature, you can microwave for 20-30 seconds. You just want to make sure that the cream cheese is not hot to the touch or your mixture will come out runny.
- Combine the oreo crumbs with the cream cheese. When the dough comes together in a ball, stop combining.
- Remove the blade and fold in sprinkles using a spatula.
- Using a cookie scoop, scoop mixture and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
- Place the dough into the freeze for 10-15 minutes until the dough is slightly harden and the dough has dried out a bit. TIP: You don’t want the mixture to freeze completely.
- Microwave white chocolate in a bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and put back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until all the chips are melted and the chocolate mixture is smooth.
- If you are using food coloring, add it at this time. You may need to add food coloring two or three times to achieve the right coloring.
- Remove the dough from the freezer. Using both hands, roll each piece of dough into a ball.
- Dip into the chocolate mixture and place back on the wax lined baking sheet. Top the truffle with sprinkles if using.
- Allow the chocolate to harden for about 5 minutes and enjoy!
Notes
- I recommend that you freeze these balls once they are rolled for 15-30 minutes to harden them.
- While you are dipping the balls if you find they are starting to fall apart put them back in the freezer to reharden.
- If the white chocolate starts to thicken during the dipping process pop it back in the microwave for 15-30 seconds until it is dippable again.
