Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Golden Oreo® cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Freeze‑dried strawberries (or finely crushed dried strawberries) – amount as desired
- White chocolate (or white melting wafers) for coating
- Optional: extra cookie crumbs, crushed freeze‑dried strawberries or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Crush the Golden Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing in a sealed bag and crushing with a rolling pin. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, vanilla extract, and the freeze‑dried strawberries (if using) until smooth and well blended. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Shape the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a parchment‑lined tray. Chill in the refrigerator or freeze for about 15–30 minutes until firm enough to dip. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
- While the balls chill, melt the white chocolate or melting wafers in a microwave‑safe bowl in short intervals (e.g., 20‑30 seconds), stirring between each until smooth. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Remove the chilled Oreo balls and dip each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess coating to drip off, then place back onto the parchment‑lined tray. Immediately sprinkle on extra crumbs, dried strawberries, or sprinkles while the coating is still wet if desired. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- Refrigerate the coated balls until the chocolate sets (about 10‑15 minutes) then serve. They’re ready to enjoy! :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
Notes
- You can swap the white chocolate coating for milk or dark chocolate for a different flavor profile. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
- If fresh strawberries are used instead of freeze‑dried, ensure they’re very well drained and dried to avoid a too‑wet mixture. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
- These bites are made ahead friendly: store in the fridge up to a week or freeze for longer storage. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}
- If you don’t have a food processor to crush the cookies, put them in a zip‑lock bag and crush with a rolling pin—but make sure the crumbs are fairly fine so the texture holds together well. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}
