Delightfully festive and easy-to-make Easter Egg Oreo Balls made by combining crushed Oreos with cream cheese, shaped into egg forms, dipped in colorful white candy coating, and decorated for a perfect Easter treat.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)

Coating and Decoration

  • 12 oz white candy melts (or white chocolate chips)
  • Assorted pastel food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, green, etc.)
  • Sprinkles, sanding sugar, or drizzle for decoration (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies, cream filling included, into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese and optional vanilla extract. Stir with a hand mixer or spoon until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick dough-like consistency.
  3. Shape the Eggs: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture, roll it into an egg shape using your hands, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture to form all the eggs.
  4. Chill the Oreo Balls: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes or in the freezer for about 15 minutes until the Oreo eggs are firm. This step is essential to help them hold their shape during dipping.
  5. Melt the Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts according to package instructions. If using white chocolate chips, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to achieve a smooth, dip-friendly consistency.
  6. Color the Candy Coating: Divide the melted candy coating into several small bowls, adding different pastel food coloring to each. Stir well to ensure even coloring for vibrant, festive hues.
  7. Dip the Oreo Eggs: Using a fork or dipping tool, gently dip each chilled Oreo egg into the melted colored candy coating. Allow any excess coating to drip off before placing the coated egg back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Decorate the Oreo Balls: Before the coating sets, add desired decorations such as sprinkles, sanding sugar, or drizzle with another colored melted chocolate to create whimsical Easter egg designs.
  9. Let Them Set: Allow the coated Easter egg Oreo balls to set at room temperature for about 15 minutes, or speed up the process by refrigerating them for 10 minutes, until the candy coating is fully hardened.
  10. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve your festive Easter Egg Oreo Balls on a decorative platter, add to Easter baskets, or store them in an airtight container to enjoy later.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, use a rolling pin and a sturdy bag to finely crush the Oreos.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during chilling and decorating.
  • Adding coconut oil to the white chocolate chips helps achieve a smooth melting texture.
  • Keep the balls refrigerated if you won’t serve them immediately to maintain freshness and firmness.
  • For a vegan or dairy-free version, consider vegan cream cheese and dairy-free white chocolate alternatives.
