Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese (package, softened)
- 19.1 ounces Oreo cookies (package)
Coating and Decoration
- White almond bark
- Candy melts (colored)
- Easter sprinkles
Instructions
- Crush Cookies: In a food processor, finely crush the Oreo cookies until they reach a crumb consistency suitable for mixing.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Place the crushed cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese into a large mixing bowl and blend together using a hand mixer until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Form Egg Shapes: Using a 1 ½ tablespoon scoop, portion the cookie mixture into balls, then gently shape each one into an egg shape by hand.
- Freeze Shapes: Place the shaped egg balls onto a parchment paper-lined sheet pan and freeze for 30 minutes to firm up and hold their shape for coating.
- Melt Chocolate: Meanwhile, melt your coating chocolate. Heat the white almond bark or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring until completely melted and smooth.
- Coat Oreo Eggs: Using two forks, dip each egg-shaped ball into the melted chocolate, gently shaking off any excess coating to ensure an even layer.
- Decorate: Place the coated eggs onto parchment paper and immediately sprinkle them with Easter sprinkles to decorate before the coating sets.
- Repeat: Repeat the dipping and decorating process with all the Oreo egg balls until finished.
- Serve: Serve the Easter Egg Oreo Balls fresh for the best texture and flavor.
- Store Leftovers: Refrigerate any leftovers to keep them firm and fresh.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreo cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Freezing the shaped balls helps them hold their form when dipping in melted chocolate.
- Use colored candy melts to add festive colors matching your Easter theme.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
