Oreo Cake Pops
Light, sweet, and irresistibly kid-friendly, Oreo cake pops are bite-sized treats made from Oreo cookies and cream cheese, coated in white chocolate, perfect for parties or movie nights.
Ingredients
For the cake pops
- 1 pack Oreo cookies (14.3 oz) Regular or flavored Oreos can be used.
- 8 oz Cream cheese Softened slightly for easy mixing.
- 8-12 oz White chocolate Use melting wafers or chips; add oil if needed.
- optional Lollipop sticks, sprinkles, chopped Oreos, or melted dark/milk chocolate For decoration and drizzling.
Instructions
Preparation
- Crush the Oreos by placing them in a food processor or sealing in a heavy-duty zip bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- Transfer the crumbs to a bowl, add softened cream cheese, and mix until combined into a thick paste.
- Cover and chill the mixture for 15-20 minutes to firm it up.
- Roll the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. For cake pops, insert a lollipop stick halfway into each ball.
- Chill the balls again for 10-15 minutes.
Coating
- Melt the white chocolate using a microwave in 20-30 second bursts or over a double boiler.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated, gently tapping off excess, then place back on parchment.
- If adding sprinkles, do it immediately before the chocolate sets.
Setting
- Let the pops rest at room temperature or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the coating hardens.
Notes
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Cream cheese safety: Do not leave the pops at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
