Serves: 24 cookie balls
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of Oreo cookies, 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of mixed berries (fresh or frozen), and 1 cup of white chocolate chips.
- In a large mixing bowl, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this using a food processor or by placing the cookies in a zip-top bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreo cookies. Mix well until the mixture is fully combined and has a dough-like consistency. You can use a spatula or your hands for this step.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries into the Oreo and cream cheese mixture. If using frozen berries, make sure they are thawed and drained of excess liquid before adding them to the mixture.
- Once the berries are evenly distributed, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, from the mixture. Place the formed cookie balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Using a fork or a toothpick, dip each cookie ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all the cookie balls are coated in white chocolate, you can optionally sprinkle some crushed Oreo crumbs or additional berries on top for decoration.
- Refrigerate the cookie balls for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set properly. After they are set, they can be enjoyed immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature to guarantee a smooth, easy-to-mix consistency.
- If using frozen berries, drain them thoroughly to prevent excess moisture from making your mixture too wet.
- Use a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop for uniform-sized cookie balls.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, add a teaspoon of coconut oil to your melted white chocolate chips.
- Refrigerate the cookie balls before dipping in chocolate to help them maintain their shape.
- For extra decoration, consider using colored sprinkles or drizzling contrasting chocolate over the finished balls.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
