Ingredients

Oreos, cream cheese, and candy melts on a white countertop.
  • Oreos: the classic sandwich cookies used for this recipe are the traditional Oreos you find in the blue package. You can make cookies and cream truffles with other similar brands of cookies. 
  • Cream Cheese: the cream cheese helps to flavor the cookie truffle and bind the ingredients together. Here, I recommend using full fat room temperature cream cheese so it combines well with the crumbs. 
  • Candy Melts: candy melts are the easiest coating for making truffles. You can find the melts in the baking section of most grocery stores. However, you can use white chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips here instead. Just add in a bit of coconut oil to help thin the coating before dipping the truffles. 
  • Sprinkles (optional): I prefer to top the truffles with a sprinkle of crushed Oreos. However, you can always make these with sprinkles on top instead. 

How to Make Cookies and Cream Truffles

Once you make these simple cookies and cream truffles, they will become your new favorite no-bake treat!

Step 1: crush the cookies

In a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, pulse the Oreos until they form fine crumbs. Alternatively, you can place the cookies in a zip top back and crush with a rolling pin. 

Remove about one tablespoon of the Oreo crumbs to save for topping the truffles later. 

Step 2: add in the cream cheese

Next, add in the room temperature cream cheese with the crushed Oreos. Pulse the mixture until the batter comes together and forms a ball. Alternatively, you can mix cream cheese into the cookie crumbs using a spoon. 

Step 3: roll into balls and chill

Remove the blade attachment from the food processor. Using either a spoon or small cookie scoop, portion out about 16-18 truffles, about 1-inch balls. Roll the truffle mixture into balls and place on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. 

Place truffles in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to firm up while you melt the chocolate. You could also freeze the truffles as well. 

Step 4: dip the truffles

Lastly, melt the candy melts or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl on 50% power stirring in 30-second intervals. Once the chocolate is melted but not too hot, dip truffles in the melted white chocolate and remove using a fork. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off the fork before placing onto lined baking sheet. 

Sprinkle the tops of the truffles with crushed Oreos or sprinkles before the chocolate hardens. Refrigerate until ready to eat.

Tips for Making Oreo Truffles

  • Use the classic Oreo cookies rather than the double stuffed version. 
  • If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos in a zip top bag with a rolling pin. 
  • You can use white chocolate chips instead of the candy melts. Add in a bit of coconut oil to thin out the melted white chocolate if needed. 
  • ​Before the chocolate hardens, top with Oreo cookie crumbs or your favorite sprinkles. 
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Ingredients

  • 26 Oreo cookies
  • 4 ounces cream cheese
  • 10 ounces white melting wafers (candy melts)

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper; set aside.
  • In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they are finely ground. Remove 1 tablespoon of the Oreo crumbs and set aside. Add in the cream cheese and pulse until well combined and the dough forms a ball.
