Ingredients
38Oreo cookies (regular)
8ozCream cheese (regular)
10ozMelting chocolate
Instructions
Add 38 Oreo cookies to a food processor with a regular blade. Pulse until the crumbs are even-sized (no large pieces). Remove two tablespoons of crumbs for garnish.
For easier mixing, use softened cream cheese (not reduced fat). Add the softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and pulse until combined.
Next, use a cookie scoop to portion the Oreo balls.
Use your hands to roll the scooped cookie mixture into a ball. Place the balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and freeze them for 30 minutes.
Set up a double boiler and chocolate dipper while the Oreo balls are in the freezer. Heat the water in the double boiler pan for five minutes before removing the balls from the freezer. When the water starts to simmer, place the pan or bowl over the simmering water and add chocolate wafers, stirring often as the chocolate melts.
Remove the bowl of melted chocolate to a heat-proof trivet covered with a folded tea towel.
Dip cold Oreo balls into the melted chocolate, then return them to the parchment-lined cookie sheet.
Garnish immediately.
