Delicious and easy-to-make Oreo Cake Balls that combine crushed Oreo cookies and cream cheese, dipped in smooth white candy melts for a perfect bite-sized treat. These no-bake treats are ideal for parties and dessert tables, offering a rich, creamy texture with the classic Oreo flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

Oreo Cake Balls

  • 24 Oreos
  • 4 oz softened cream cheese

Coating

  • 10 oz white candy melts (Ghirardelli brand recommended)
  • 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, only if candy melts need thinning)

Instructions

  1. Mix Oreos and cream cheese: Place 24 whole Oreos into a food processor and blend on high speed until crushed into a coarse powder. Add 4 oz of softened cream cheese and pulse again until the mixture forms one smooth, uniform texture.
  2. Shape the cake balls: Remove the food processor blades and scrape any remaining mixture back inside. Using a medium cookie scoop, scoop out the mixture and roll into balls by hand. Set the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
  3. Melt the candy melts: Melt 10 oz of white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval. Use up to 2 tablespoons of hot heavy cream only if the candy melts need to be thinned out. Ghirardelli candy melts usually do not require thinning.
  4. Dip the cake balls: Using a fork, dip each cake ball into the melted candy melts, ensuring they are coated evenly. Carefully place the dipped balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and allow the coating to set completely.
  5. Decorate (optional): For extra decoration, drizzle melted semi-sweet chocolate over the cake balls or sprinkle crushed Oreos on top while the coating is still wet to ensure they stick.

Notes

  • Use softened cream cheese for easier blending.
  • Freeze the cake balls before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
  • Do not overheat the candy melts; melt gradually to avoid burning.
  • If using other candy melts brands, add heavy cream to thin if necessary.
  • Store finished cake balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
