Oreo Cake Balls — rich chocolate balls coated

Ingredients
• 24 Oreo cookies (about 1 standard pack)
• 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
• 1 ½ cups (270g) white chocolate or white candy melts
• ¼ cup (45g) dark chocolate (for drizzle)

Instructions
Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by sealing them in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin. Add softened cream cheese and mix until smooth and well combined — the mixture should be thick like dough.

Scoop small portions and roll into balls. Place them on a tray lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for about 30–45 minutes until firm.

Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in short microwave bursts, stirring until smooth. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate to coat evenly, then place back on the parchment paper.

Melt the dark chocolate and drizzle over the coated balls for decoration. Chill again for about 15 minutes until set.

Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. Rich, creamy, and irresistible!

✅ Chill the dough before baking to help the cookies keep their shape.
✅ For extra richness, replace 50g of the flour with milk powder.

The cookies in the picture appear to be soft butter cookies with smooth tops, so this recipe will give you a very similar result.
