That’s right! These delicious little balls of chocolate joy require only 3 ingredients (and there is a good chance that you already have them at home)!
- Oreos: These delightful, cream-filled cookies are the main ingredient to these chocolate truffles. You can choose to use all whole Oreos or half with the cream and half without.
- Cream Cheese: The cream cheese is the ingredient that bonds these truffles together. I have used regular cream cheese and low fat cream cheese and both turned out great!
- Chocolate: You can use any chocolate that you enjoy. I like to use Ghirardelli melting wafers for this recipe because they are easy to find and melt quickly.
Tips to Making 3 Ingredient Oreo Balls
- Have your set up ready to go BEFORE melting the chocolate. Once the chocolate is melted, you have to move fast.
- Use a fork to lower the balls into the chocolate & let drip OR use a spoon to pour the chocolate on top (just make sure it covers the entire ball).
- Make sure to add sprinkles quickly before the chocolate dries.
- Use a toothpick to push the ball off the fork to dry.
- Freeze the balls for about 10 minutes before coating in chocolate for a smooth, round finish (I skipped this step due to being in a hurry and quickly regretted it).
Substitutions:
With just 3 ingredients, there isn’t a whole lot to play around with as far as substitutions go. The 2 that I have tried (and both turned out great) are using Golden Oreos instead of Chocolate and using Low Fat Cream Cheese instead of regular.
You could try some of the fun seasonal Oreo flavors! I’m sure just about any Oreo flavor would be delicious!
You can also really spice up the look of these chocolate truffles by using different chocolates (white, dark, milk, semi-sweet, etc.) as well as different toppings (sprinkles, glitter, chocolate drizzle, etc.). The options are endless!
