Ingredients
Cookie Base
- 16 Oreo cookies
- 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
Coating and Decoration
- 12 oz chocolate coating (melting chocolate or candy melts)
- Colorful sprinkles or shredded coconut (for decoration)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form, ensuring there are no large pieces left for a smooth texture.
- Mix with cream cheese: In a bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese and mix until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.
- Shape the mixture: Use your hands to roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into egg shapes, about 1 to 1.5 inches in size, shaping them gently but firmly.
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the chocolate coating in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip the eggs: Dip each egg-shaped cookie ball into the melted chocolate to fully coat them, then place them carefully onto parchment paper to set.
- Add toppings: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the cookie balls with colorful sprinkles or shredded coconut to decorate them festively.
- Chill to set: Place the coated cookie balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up properly before serving.
Notes
- For easier shaping, chill the Oreo and cream cheese mixture for 10 minutes before rolling.
- Use a fork or dipping tool to coat the cookie balls evenly with chocolate, minimizing excess drip.
- Substitute cream cheese with a vegan cream cheese alternative to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
- Store finished cookie balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can customize toppings by using crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, or edible glitter in place of sprinkles or coconut.
