Ingredients
Scale
Here’s what you need to make these indulgent Pumpkin Oreo Balls:
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (regular or golden Oreos work well)
- 1/2 cup pumpkin puree (canned or homemade)
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1 (8 oz) package of cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups white chocolate chips (or white candy melts)
- Optional: orange food coloring for festive fall vibes
- Sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chopped nuts for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulsing until they turn into fine crumbs. No big chunks should remain. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a resealable plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Mix with pumpkin and cream cheese: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, and softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to mix everything together until it forms a sticky dough.
- Shape the balls: Scoop out the dough using a small cookie scoop or spoon (about 1-2 tablespoons per ball). Roll each portion between your hands to form smooth balls. Place the balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze the balls for about 20-30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 20-second increments, stirring in between until smooth. If desired, you can add a few drops of orange food coloring to make the coating more festive.
- Coat the Oreo balls: Once the Oreo balls are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Tap off any excess chocolate, and then place the dipped balls back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Decorate: While the coating is still wet, sprinkle the balls with your favorite toppings—crushed Oreos, fall-colored sprinkles, or chopped nuts work great. Let them set in the fridge until the chocolate hardens, about 10-15 minutes.
- Enjoy: Once set, your Pumpkin Oreo Balls are ready to serve!
