Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
Coating & Decoration
- 2 cups melting chocolate wafers
- 1/2 cup white chocolate
- Sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
- Process Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse them until they become fine crumbs. The goal is to have evenly crushed cookies without large chunks.
- Mix with cream cheese: Combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.
- Shape the mixture: Scoop the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into heart-shaped mold cavities. Use a spatula to press them flat and compact the mixture well. Freeze the molds for 25 to 30 minutes until the shapes are firm.
- Melt chocolate wafers: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully smooth and melted according to package instructions.
- Coat the hearts: Remove the firm heart Oreo shapes from the mold and dip each into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Gently shake off any excess chocolate, then place the coated hearts on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
- Decorate with white chocolate and sprinkles: Melt the white chocolate separately, transfer it into a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a corner snipped off, then drizzle it over the coated hearts. Immediately sprinkle with colorful sprinkles before the drizzle sets.
- Store and serve: Keep the heart Oreo balls refrigerated until you are ready to serve to maintain their shape and freshness.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
- Use a silicone heart mold for easy removal of shapes.
- Chocolate wafers can be substituted with any good-quality melting chocolate.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For a firmer texture, freeze the Oreo mixture longer before dipping in chocolate.
