Ingredients (Just 5!)
- 1 package Oreos (about 36 cookies), crushed – Use the full cookie, filling and all.
- 1 block (8 oz) cream cheese, softened – This makes the truffles rich and creamy.

- ½ tsp vanilla extract – Just a little boost to enhance the flavors.
- Sprinkles, cocoa powder, or crushed Oreos for coating – Optional, but highly recommended.
How to Make No-Bake Oreo Truffles
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Toss your Oreos into a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. No food processor? No problem. Just put them in a sealed plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin until they’re crushed. Therapy and dessert-making, all in one.
Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese
In a large bowl, combine your Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Use a spoon or get in there with your hands and mix until it forms a smooth dough. It should hold together when you press it. If it’s too sticky, chill it for 10 minutes before shaping.
Step 3: Roll into Truffle Balls
Scoop out small portions (about 1 inch) and roll them into balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and pop them into the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Dip in Melted Chocolate
While the truffle balls are chilling, melt your chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between. Don’t overheat it—burnt chocolate is a tragedy.
Take each chilled truffle and dip it into the melted chocolate, using a fork to roll it around. Let the excess drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
Step 5: Decorate and Chill
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle on crushed Oreos, cocoa powder, or sprinkles for a little extra flair. Once decorated, place them back in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Pro Tips for the Best Truffles
💡 Use softened cream cheese. If it’s too cold, it won’t mix well, and you’ll end up with lumps.
💡 Don’t skip the chilling step. It helps the truffles hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
💡 Work quickly when dipping. The warmth of the chocolate can soften the truffles, so only take a few out of the fridge at a time.
💡 Customize them! Try rolling them in crushed nuts, drizzling with white chocolate, or even adding a pinch of sea salt on top.
How to Store Your Oreo Truffles
- Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to one week.
- Freezer: These truffles freeze beautifully! Keep them in a freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Just let them sit out for a few minutes before eating.
Final Thoughts
These No-Bake Oreo Truffles prove that you don’t need a fancy recipe to make an insanely good dessert. They’re creamy, chocolatey, and dangerously addictive. Whether you’re making them for a party or just treating yourself (because you deserve it), this is one dessert that never disappoints.
So go ahead—crush those Oreos, mix up that dough, and dip away. Just don’t be surprised if they disappear faster than you made them.
