Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for extra flavor)
- 12 oz white candy melts (or white chocolate chips)
- Assorted pastel food coloring (pink, blue, yellow, green, etc.)
- Sprinkles, sanding sugar, or drizzle for decoration (optional)
Instructions
Place the Oreo cookies (cream filling included) into a food processor. Pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Stir (or use a hand mixer) until the mixture is fully combined and resembles a thick dough.
Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the Oreo mixture, roll it into an egg shape, and place it on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes (or the freezer for 15 minutes) until the Oreo eggs are firm. This helps them hold their shape when dipping.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. If using white chocolate chips, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil to help create a smooth consistency.
Divide the melted candy coating into separate bowls and add pastel food coloring to each one. Stir until the colors are evenly mixed.
Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each chilled Oreo egg into the melted candy coating. Let the excess coating drip off, then place the coated egg back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Before the coating sets, add sprinkles, sanding sugar, or drizzle with another color of melted chocolate to create fun Easter egg designs.
Allow the Easter egg Oreo balls to set at room temperature for 15 minutes or place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes until fully hardened.
Once set, your festive Easter Egg Oreo Balls are ready to enjoy! Serve them on a decorative Easter platter, add them to Easter baskets, or store them for later.
