Ingredients
  

Oreo base and coating
  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 16 oz white chocolate melting wafers
  • 0.5 g Red candy melts Amount varies by drizzle thickness; use enough for thin lines.
  • 0.5 g Blue candy melts Amount varies by drizzle thickness; use enough for thin lines.
  • 0.25 cup Red, white, and blue star sprinkles

Equipment

  • 1 stand mixer

Method
 

Make the Oreo truffle dough
  1. Crush Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become fine crumbs with no large pieces remaining. You should see a uniform, sand-like texture.
  2. Mix Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined into a thick uniform dough. Stir until no dry crumb streaks remain.
  3. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Keep balls even so they dip cleanly later.
  4. Freeze the rolled balls for 30 minutes. They should feel firm to the touch and hold their shape.
Dip and decorate
  1. Melt the white chocolate melting wafers according to package instructions until smooth. Stop when the chocolate is glossy and fluid.
  2. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the white chocolate using a fork, letting excess drip off, then return it to the parchment sheet. Coat evenly so the surface is fully covered.
  3. Melt the red candy melts and blue candy melts separately according to package instructions, then drizzle over the coated balls in thin lines. Work quickly while the white chocolate is still wet.
  4. Immediately top the drizzled balls with star sprinkles. Sprinkle right away so they stick before the coating sets.
Chill to set
  1. Refrigerate the Oreo balls for 30 minutes until fully set before serving. The coating should feel firm and not smear when lightly touched.

Notes

For perfectly round truffles, roll the dough quickly and keep your hands lightly cool so the mixture doesn’t soften. Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container for up to 5 days; do not freeze if you want the drizzle and sprinkles to look crisp after thawing. For a dietary swap, use gluten-free Oreo-style sandwich cookies to keep the same flavor and texture.
