Oreo Balls Recipe (Oreo Truffles) - Dessert for Two (2024)

FAQs

Do you need to refrigerate Oreo truffles? ›

Melt the chocolate.

Chocolate can overheat easily, which is why we microwave it in short bursts. I do not recommend tempering the chocolate for this recipe. Tempered chocolate should not be refrigerated, and these Oreo balls must be refrigerated.

You MUST freeze the Oreo Balls.

If you don't freeze the balls before dipping, then the chocolate will be too hot and essentially melt the balls upon contact and they'll fall apart in the chocolate leaving a mess of crumbs.

Make sure you store the Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If you leave them on the counter, the chocolate will get soft. You want to make sure they are chilled until ready to serve.

Make-Ahead and Storing. Oreo balls can be made up to several days in advance. Store them in the refrigerator, preferably in an airtight container. They can be frozen (in an airtight container) for several months.

Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container or on a plate covered in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Since Oreo truffles are heavy on cream cheese, they need to be refrigerated. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

The truffles can be made ahead of time and stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.

Why are my oreo balls oily? This could mean that you used a little too much cream cheese or the balls aren't cold enough. When you roll them with your hands it melts the balls slightly and causes the oils from the cream cheese to seep out.

One way is to either keep the AC on in the room for at least 15–20 minutes or till the temperature drops to close to 23°C before taking out the chocolate. The simpler way is to store the chocolate in an airtight container and take the container out and let it come back to room temperature before opening the container.

The best way to store Oreo balls is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Heat is not an oreo truffle's best friend. Keep these treats cool in the fridge and they're ready to serve any time you need them.

How long can Oreo balls sit out? ›

One of the main ingredients in this Oreo cookie ball recipe is cream cheese, so they need to be refrigerated. They shouldn't sit at room temperature for more than two hours at a time. Store the cookies in an airtight container in the fridge for about two to three weeks.

Although the amount of time to perfection depends on preferred sogginess levels and milk fat content, the Utah researchers determined that 3 seconds was enough to thoroughly saturate the Oreo without losing structural integrity.

Thirty-six Oreos weigh 14.3 oz (405 g). Crushed, that is about 3 cups.

A standard 14.3-ounce package of regular Oreo cookies contains 36 cookies. The larger 19.1-ounce family-size package contains 48 cookies.

Many vegans refer to Oreos as “accidentally vegan,” meaning they don't contain animal products — but they weren't created to be a specifically vegan treat. Oreos do not contain milk, eggs, or any other animal-derived products, so they are technically vegan in that sense.

Keep truffles in a cool, dark place and keep them dry. Because truffles are generally a much softer consistency than tempered chocolate, it's more likely that you will need to put them in the fridge in warm weather. As with tempered chocolate, make sure the truffles are well wrapped and in an airtight container.

Truffles have approximately a 2 to 4 week shelf life due to the fact that they are made with fresh heavy cream. All of this information is based on the fact that the chocolates or truffles are stored in the recommended 64 to 68 degree low humidity environment.

Place them in an airtight container (Tupperware box, glass jar, Ziploc bag) wrapped in kitchen towel. Close the lid tightly and put it in the warmest part of the fridge (generally the top-shelf).
