SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE GLUTEN-FREE OREO CAKE BALLS
You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the gluten-free oreo truffles (the exact measurements, instructions and full recipe are in the recipe card at the end of this post):
- Gluten-free oreos – can use regular oreos if you need require them to be gluten free. Glutino cookies also work well here.
- Cream cheese – dairy-free cream cheese can also be used for vegan oreo truffles.
- White candy melts – can also use almond bark, dark chocolate or white chocolate chips, or milk chocolate candy melts if desired. If you want vegan no bake oreo balls use Enjoy Life vegan chocolate chips.
- Optional – sprinkles, vanilla extract, peppermint extract, semi-sweet chocolate chips, etc.
HOW TO MAKE
- Crush the gluten-free Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Remove 1/4 cup of cookie crumbs for the topping.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the crumbs and pulse until combined.
- Scoop out mixture using a small cookie scoop and roll into a ball (about the size of a golf ball). Smooth it out and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 15-20 minutes.
- Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments until fully melted.
- Place the cookie dough balls into a fork and lower into the melted chocolate. Tap the fork onto the bowl to let excess chocolate coating drip off. Transfer back to cookie sheet and add cookie crumbles on top of the truffles immediately.
- Repeat until all the balls have been dipped. If the chocolate begins to thicken up, add back to microwave for 15 seconds so it’s easier to use.
- Allow balls to sit at room temperature until they are solid. Enjoy!
STORING LEFTOVER GLUTEN-FREE OREO TRUFFLES RECIPE
Let the Oreo balls set, then store them in an airtight container (parchment between layers) in the fridge for up to 1 week.
For longer storage, freeze them for 2–3 months and thaw in the fridge for 30–60 minutes before serving. Room temp is party-only—max 2 hours, then back to the fridge.
TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS
Soften the cream cheese. Room temp mixes cleanly and won’t leave little lumps in the “dough.”
Chill before dipping. 15–20 minutes in the freezer helps balls hold shape so they don’t slide off the fork.
Work in batches. Keep half the tray chilling while you dip the first half; cold centers make cleaner coats.
Thin if needed. If the coating is thick, stir in ½–1 tsp neutral vegetable oil so it glides instead of gloops.
Dip with a fork, not a spoon. The gaps let excess coating drip off—tap the fork on the bowl for a thin, even shell.
Top fast. Sprinkle reserved crumbs or decor right after dipping, before the shell firms up.
