Easter Egg Oreo Balls (Printable Version)

No-bake Oreo cream cheese truffles shaped like eggs, coated in chocolate and topped with colorful sprinkles for spring celebrations.

# What You Need:

→ Cookie Base

01 - 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 oz semi-sweet or white chocolate, chopped or in chips
04 - Assorted colored candy melts or food coloring (optional)
05 - Sprinkles, edible glitter, or colored sugar (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for later use.
02 - Pulse Oreo cookies with filling in a food processor until finely crushed into uniform crumbs.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the crushed cookies. Blend until a thick, uniform dough forms throughout.
04 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and shape each into an egg form. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the shaped Oreo eggs for 30 minutes or until firm enough to handle for dipping.
06 - Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
07 - Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo egg into melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off before returning to the baking sheet.
08 - Drizzle with colored candy melts or sprinkle with decorations before the chocolate coating sets completely.
09 - Chill in refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to set the coating. Serve cold or at room temperature.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Theyre somehow nostalgic and fancy all at once, hitting that sweet spot between comfort food and something youd serve at a spring brunch
  • The recipe is practically foolproof, even if your egg shaping skills leave something to be desired
02 -
  • If your chocolate starts getting thick, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to bring it back to dipping consistency
  • Room temperature eggs are the enemy of smooth coating. Keep them in the freezer until the exact moment you dip.

  • Golden Oreos make a stunning vanilla version that pairs beautifully with dark chocolate coating
  • A small cookie scoop portioned evenly makes uniform eggs easier to achieve
