Equipment
- Mixing bowl (medium to large)
- Food processor or zip-top bag + rolling pin (for crushing Oreos)
- Spatula or wooden spoon
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Baking tray or plate
- Parchment paper
- Small cookie scoop (optional but helpful)
- Refrigerator space
Ingredients
- 18 Oreo cookies regular, not double stuffed
- 8 oz 226g cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup chocolate protein powder whey or plant-based
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 –2 tablespoons milk as needed for texture
- 1 cup melted dark or milk chocolate for coating
- Optional toppings:
- Crushed Oreos
- Cocoa powder
- White chocolate drizzle
- Sprinkles
Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin. You want a sand-like texture with no big chunks.
Step 2: Mix the Base
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Use a spatula to mix until everything is fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Add Protein Powder
- Add the chocolate protein powder and vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir until fully incorporated. If the mixture feels too thick or crumbly, add a tablespoon of milk at a time until it becomes soft and moldable.
Step 4: Shape into Balls
- Scoop out small portions (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls using your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
Step 5: Chill
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up and makes coating easier.
Step 6: Coat in Chocolate
- Dip each chilled ball into melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully covered. Place it back on the tray and add any toppings you like.
Step 7: Final Set
- Let the chocolate coating set completely. You can refrigerate them again for faster results.
