Ingredients:
For the Base:
- 24 Oreos
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
For the Coating:
- 10 oz white candy melts (Ghirardelli recommended)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional, for thinning candy melts if necessary)
Directions:
- Prepare the Oreo Mixture:
- In a food processor, pulse 24 Oreos into a coarse powder. Add the softened cream cheese and blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Form the Cake Balls:
- Remove the blades from the food processor and scrape any mixture back into the bowl. Using a medium cookie scoop, portion the mixture and roll into smooth balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the Candy Coating:
- Melt the white candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each. If needed, thin the candy melts with a bit of hot cream for a smoother coating.
- Coat the Cake Balls:
- Using a fork, dip each frozen Oreo ball into the melted candy coating, ensuring it’s evenly coated. Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
- Decorate (Optional):
- For a festive touch, drizzle the cake balls with melted semi-sweet chocolate or sprinkle with crushed Oreo crumbs while the coating is still wet.
