Ingredients

Save

• 1 package of Oreo cookies (about 14 oz), crushed
• 1 cup of cake mix (dry)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 1 1/2 cups of white chocolate chips
• 2-3 tablespoons of sprinkles (optional for color)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract

Tools Needed

• Mixing bowls
• Electric mixer or a sturdy spoon
• Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
• A microwave-safe bowl for melting chocolate
• Fork or toothpick for dipping truffles

Suggested Substitutions and Additions

• For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free Oreo cookies.
• Instead of cream cheese, you can use mascarpone cheese for a richer flavor.
• You can substitute chocolate chips with dark chocolate or even milk chocolate, depending on your preference.
• Add in a tablespoon of peanut butter for a nutty flavor twist.
• Love coconut? Roll your truffles in shredded coconut instead of sprinkles!

How to Make

Step 1: Mix the Dry Ingredients

Start by crushing your Oreo cookies in a mixing bowl. You can use a food processor or simply place them in a zip-top bag and smash them with a rolling pin. The Oreo cookie crumbs should be fine, but don’t fret if you have some larger chunks—those add a delightful texture!

Step 2: Combine with Cream Cheese

In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the dry cake mix and vanilla extract until it’s creamy and well combined. This should take about 2-3 minutes with an electric mixer.

You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture becomes smooth and almost fluffy. The aroma of sweet vanilla filling your kitchen is an added bonus!

Step 3: Add Crushed Oreos

Now, gently fold in your crushed Oreo cookies into the cream cheese mixture. Add the sprinkles at this point if you’re using them. The mixture might seem a bit dense, but that’s exactly what you want—it means those Oreo chunks are perfectly embedded.

Step 4: Form the Truffles

Using your hands, take about a tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into bite-sized balls. Place each truffle on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. The fun part is shaping them—don’t worry about making them perfect; every little truffle has its own character!

Step 5: Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Be careful, as chocolate can burn easily.

Step 6: Dip and Chill

Once your truffles are rolled, dip each one into the melted white chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the parchment-lined sheet.

Finally, place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes until they harden.

What to Serve with No Bake Cake Batter Oreo Truffles

These No Bake Cake Batter Oreo Truffles are perfect on their own, but they dive even deeper into dessert paradise when paired with:

• A scoop of vanilla ice cream for that creamy accompaniment.
• A drizzle of extra melted chocolate or caramel sauce.

Tips for Making It Perfect

• Prep Ahead: You can make the filling a day in advance and store it in the fridge. Just roll and dip the truffles before serving.
• Common Mistakes: If your chocolate is too thick to dip, you can add a splash of vegetable oil to thin it out.
• Double the Batch: These truffles are so delicious, you’ll want to make more! Just double the ingredients and follow the same steps!
• Keep ‘em Fresh: Keep leftover truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.

To store your No Bake Cake Batter Oreo Truffles, place them in an airtight container lined with parchment paper (to keep them from sticking together). They can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week.

If you wish to freeze them, lay them in a single layer in the freezer until solid, and then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months. Allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
