Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 1 package (15.25 oz) Pumpkin Spice Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Garnish
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers
Instructions
- Grind Oreos: Place the Pumpkin Spice Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground into crumbs.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the Oreo crumbs into a large bowl and blend with the softened cream cheese using a spatula or hands until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Add Cinnamon: If desired, stir in the ground cinnamon thoroughly to enhance the flavor.
- Shape Balls: Scoop about one tablespoon of mixture and roll into balls. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill Dough Balls: Refrigerate the balls for 30 minutes to firm them up before coating.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Oreo Balls: Remove chilled balls from refrigerator and dip each one into the melted white chocolate, ensuring full coverage. Tap off excess chocolate.
- Garnish: Place dipped balls back on the baking sheet and immediately sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top to add texture and flavor.
- Set Coating: Refrigerate the coated balls for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely set and firm.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during refrigeration.
- Coconut oil helps smooth the white chocolate for easier dipping.
- Optional cinnamon boosts the warm spice profile which complements the pumpkin flavor.
- Store finished balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
