Indulgent pumpkin oreo balls bring autumn’s warmth to classic cookie truffles. Sweet spheres blend creamy pumpkin spice with crushed cookies, creating irresistible bites you’ll crave all season long.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package oreo cookies (crushed)
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tsp (5 ml) pumpkin spice
- 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate (for coating)
- orange food coloring (optional)
- crushed oreos or sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultrafine crumbs using a food processor or by crushing within a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- Blend crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese and pumpkin spice seasoning until the mixture forms a uniform, cohesive texture.
- Shape the mixture into compact, bite-sized spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, arranging them neatly on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Refrigerate the formed balls for 15-20 minutes to firm their structure and enhance coating adhesion.
- Gently melt white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until smooth and glossy. Optional: Incorporate orange food coloring for a festive appearance.
- Carefully immerse each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage using a dipping fork or spoon.
- Immediately garnish with crumbled Oreo fragments or seasonal sprinkles while the chocolate coating remains wet and receptive.
- Return the decorated balls to the refrigerator for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the chocolate to solidify and create a crisp outer shell.
- Once set, transfer to a serving platter and enjoy these decadent autumnal treats at room temperature.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent texture that helps bind the mixture perfectly.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a creamier consistency when blending with Oreo crumbs.
- Chill the mixture before forming balls to prevent sticky hands and create more compact, well-shaped treats.
- Try different food coloring shades to match seasonal themes or personal preferences for festive presentation.
