How to Make 3-Ingredient Oreo Balls
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Place the Oreo cookies (filling and all) into a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs, almost like sand. If you don’t have a processor, toss the cookies into a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Just make sure there are no big chunks left.
Step 2: Mix in the condensed milk
Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and add 5 tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk. Stir everything together with a spoon or spatula until a soft, dough-like mixture forms. If the mixture feels dry or crumbly, ADD a little more condensed milk, just 1 teaspoon at a time until it holds together like firm clay or playdough!
Step 3: Shape the balls
Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls with your hands, about the size of a walnut. Place them on a parchment-lined plate or tray. Once all the balls are formed, pop them in the freezer for 10 minutes to firm up. This helps with dipping later!
Step 4: Melt the white chocolate
While the balls chill, melt the white chocolate using a microwave (20–30 second bursts, stirring in between) or a double boiler. Stir in between each burst until smooth and silky. Don’t overheat, white chocolate can seize if it gets too HOT!
Step 5: Dip and decorate
Use a fork or toothpick to dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate. Let the excess drip off, then transfer to parchment paper. Before the coating sets, decorate with shredded coconut, chocolate sprinkles, or crushed candy canes. Work quickly, the chocolate sets FAST on cold truffles!
Step 6: Let them set
Let the coated Oreo balls sit at room temperature until the chocolate is fully set. If you’re in a hurry, POP them in the fridge for about 10 minutes.
Troubleshooting
If dipping these Oreo balls in white chocolate is giving you a little grief, don’t panic, these quick tips can help.
- Chocolate is hardening before I’m finished: This is an EASY fix! First, make sure you’re working quickly and dipping just a few at a time. If the chocolate starts to thicken or firm up, just pop it back in the microwave for 10 seconds or so to loosen it up again. You can also use a double boiler or place the bowl over simmering water to keep the chocolate fluid. Just don’t let the water touch the bottom of the bowl!
- Oreo balls are falling apart in the chocolate: This usually means your chocolate is too hot. Let it sit for a few minutes to cool down slightly before dipping again. If it’s steaming or bubbling, give it a moment. A slightly cooler chocolate is much gentler on these soft little balls.
- Toppings won’t stick: Timing is everything here! Make sure to sprinkle your toppings right after dipping, while the chocolate is still wet. If it’s already set, no worries… Just drizzle a little more melted chocolate on top and try again!
