Ingredients
Method
The key to fudgy Oreo balls is how well you grind the biscuits. If they’re not ground fine, the dough will be lumpy and hard to shape. Use a mixer grinder for a fine powder or place the Oreos in a ziplock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. A well ground base ensures the balls hold their shape and don’t crack while rolling.
If your dough is too dry the Oreo balls will fall apart while rolling. If it’s too sticky they won’t hold their shape. The trick is to add moisture gradually—start with a teaspoon of milk or fresh cream and knead gently. If the mixture is too wet refrigerate for 10 minutes to firm it up. The goal is a soft yet pliable dough that’s easy to work with.
The filling is what makes these Oreo balls special. If you’re using a homemade or store-bought chocolate cream filling it should be chilled before stuffing. A firm filling is easier to handle and won’t ooze out while shaping. Simply scoop small portions of chocolate cream, roll them into small balls and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes before stuffing them inside the Oreo mixture.
When dipping the Oreo balls into the chocolate use a fork or skewer to lift them out. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing them on butter paper. This prevents thick and uneven coatings and gives a smooth finish. If the chocolate is too thick add a teaspoon of melted butter or coconut oil while melting to thin it out. This will help in getting a shiny and even coating.
A little extra crunch takes these Oreo balls to the next level! After coating them in chocolate, sprinkle crushed nuts like almonds, pistachios or roasted coconut on top. You can also roll them in cocoa powder or drizzle melted white chocolate for a decorative effect. These garnishes not only add to the flavor but also give them a festive look.
Once coated, the Oreo balls need to be refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to set the chocolate. If you don’t do this step, the chocolate will be soft and messy. Don’t freeze them, the chocolate will crack when you bite into them. Instead let them chill in the fridge until firm to get that perfect snap when you take a bite.
