Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (15.25 ounces / 432 grams) Golden Oreos
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, finely crushed
Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating and Garnish:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips or candy melts
- Extra freeze-dried strawberries for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize the Golden Oreos into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor, ensuring a consistent texture.
- Combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese, incorporating finely ground freeze-dried strawberries and vanilla extract until the mixture becomes homogeneous and smooth.
- Craft uniform spherical morsels approximately 1-inch in diameter, arranging them carefully on a chilled tray. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm the mixture.
- Melt white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe vessel, stirring every 30 seconds until completely liquefied and silky.
- Carefully immerse each chilled sphere into the molten white chocolate, ensuring complete coverage, then transfer to parchment paper for setting.
- While the chocolate coating remains glossy, delicately sprinkle additional crushed freeze-dried strawberries across the surface for an elegant, textured finish.
- Allow the chocolate coating to solidify completely at room temperature or expedite the process by briefly chilling in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Crush Oreos finely to ensure a smooth, consistent texture without large chunks that might disrupt the ball’s shape.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a creamier consistency that blends seamlessly with the Oreo crumbs.
- Freeze-dried strawberries add intense flavor and vibrant color without adding extra moisture that could make the mixture too wet.
- Chill the balls before dipping in chocolate to help them maintain their shape and prevent crumbling during the coating process.
