Description
Easy Pumpkin Oreo Balls are a delightful no-bake treat perfect for fall baking and holidays. This recipe captures the essence of autumn in a bite-sized confection.
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin extract (optional, for stronger flavor)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Instructions
- Place the finely crushed Oreo cookies in a large bowl.
- Add the softened cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and pumpkin extract (if using) to the crushed Oreos.
- Mix the ingredients thoroughly until a well-combined dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place these Pumpkin Oreo Balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Pumpkin Oreo Balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening together. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, or over a double boiler.
- Dip each chilled Pumpkin Oreo Ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Place the coated Pumpkin Oreo Balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely. You can speed this up by placing the baking sheet back in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
- Your delicious homemade Pumpkin Oreo Balls are ready to serve.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, add a little more shortening if needed.
- You can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
- Decorate with orange sprinkles or a drizzle of chocolate before the coating sets for extra flair.
- Store leftover Pumpkin Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
