Golden Oreo Truffles are the easiest no-bake treat! Just dip in chocolate, decorate, and store in the fridge for days.

Golden Oreo Truffles

I recently served these at a party and had so many people comment that these were the very best “cake balls” they’d ever had. Without knowing the base is Oreos, they actually do taste like cake balls–except way tastier!

If you’ve never completely loved cake balls, give this recipe a try, you may just find a new favorite treat!

Quick Tip

These are amazing as a treat on their own, but if you want a really fancy-looking dessert spread, prepare a platter of these Golden Oreo Truffles and regular Chocolate Oreo Truffles. The two together makes for a stunning presentation.

How to make Golden Oreo Truffles

Start by crushing the cookies. Make sure the Oreos are finely crushed; big chunks of cookie will mess up the texture of these truffles. By the way, no need to separate creme from cookie– we blend it all together for this recipe!
Mix the cream cheese and cookie crumbs. We’re looking to get a thick and slightly sticky dough. You can knead the mixture with your hands, or a mixer.
Roll into balls. Use a tablespoon measuring spoon to portion out dough and roll into a ball. Sometimes the “dough” is a bit too sticky/oily to roll out initially. A quick chill in the fridge will make rolling much easier!
Place the balls on a tray and refrigerate. This makes them much easier to dip! Once the balls are firm, it’s time to dip them in melted chocolate.
Melt chocolate and dip! We like to use the microwave to melt the chocolate for dipping. Decorate if desired and then let harden before enjoying.

Golden Oreo Truffle Ingredients

Family-size Golden Oreos. For our chocolate Oreo balls recipe, we use a standard-size package of Oreos, but when using the vanilla Oreos, we found that a family-size package works the best. With the regular-sized package of Oreos, the mixture was a little too wet/soft. (This recipe will still work with the smaller package of Oreos, but is easiest/best with the larger package.)
Cream cheese. Be sure to use full-fat, brick-style cream cheese. Lower fat and tub cream cheese don’t work the same here.
White Chocolate Melting Wafers. While a lot of truffles/Oreo ball recipes will call for expensive baking bars, I find it isn’t necessary here. A good brand of white chocolate wafers still taste rich and indulgent, but ultimately, so much easier to work with. Plus, you don’t need to mess with chopping the chocolate. I think you’ll be amazed at how simple the process is with these wafers!
Coconut oil: You can add a touch of oil or shortening to the chocolate. It helps to smooth out the chocolate and make dipping easier. If you find the chocolate is too thick and won’t coat the truffles nicely, add a touch more oil.

Quick Tip

Here’s how we like to dip the Golden Oreo Truffles: Dip a fork in the melted chocolate then place a chilled ball on top of the fork. Use a spoon to pour melted chocolate over the ball. Tap that fork against the bowl a few times to smooth the chocolate and then slide the fork against the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Use a table knife to gently slide the ball off the fork and onto a parchment-lined tray to harden.

Decorate ‘Em! (skippable)

Jazz up these Golden Oreo Truffles if desired, with one of the following ideas:

Add on a drizzle of milk, semi-sweet or dark chocolate. If you want a distinct chocolate drizzle, add the drizzle once the white chocolate has set up. If you want the chocolate to “bleed” into the white chocolate, add the chocolate drizzle immediately after dipping the ball in white chocolate.
Add some finely crushed Oreo crumbs to the top of the Golden Oreo Truffle. Add while the chocolate is still wet so the crumbs stick.
Sprinkle mini chocolate chips, crushed nuts or sprinkles on top.

Quick Tip

White chocolate hardens quickly, so be sure to have decorations out and ready to add as soon as the truffles are dipped!

Storage

These Golden Oreo Truffles have cream cheese in them, so they need to be refrigerated when not being served. If left out for an extended period of time, they will be unsafe to eat. These store nicely in an airtight container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
