FAQs

Why are my Oreo balls falling apart? ›

Oreo balls are falling apart: The chocolate is too hot. Let the chocolate sit for a few minutes to slightly cool down and then try again.

Since Oreo truffles are heavy on cream cheese, they need to be refrigerated. Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

You may have used double stuffed Oreo cookies, which will make the mixture too sticky. Also, too much cream cheese can also do this. Be sure to use regular Oreos and measure ingredients correctly.

Store/Freeze

Store the Oreo balls in an airtight container or on a plate covered in plastic wrap at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. Freeze them in an airtight container for up to 2 months.

These truffles need to be frozen briefly (15 minutes) before dipping. I've found that if you freeze them much longer than that the chocolate tends to crack and break away from the Oreo ball interior as it sets (a problem I've also noticed with my cake pops!).

Because Oreo balls are kept cold in the fridge, they last for 2-3 weeks in an airtight container. If you want to get a jumpstart on holiday baking, you can make these 3 months in advance and freeze them. Thaw in the fridge overnight before serving.

These Oreo truffles can be shipped, but it does require some extra materials. Most bakers who ship their treats prefer to use a cooler lined with ice packs, which is then placed in a cushioned/lined shipping box.

How do you crumble Oreos without a food processor? I really recommend using a food processor to crush your Oreos if you have one. If you don't, you can place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or mallet. Make sure the cookies are finely crushed for the best results.

Crème filling contains small bits of Oreo cookie wafer.

Refrigerating your cake balls/pops can cause condensation on the coating and this moisture will cause the coating to become sticky.

How do you keep Oreo crust from falling apart? ›

Keep in mind that the finer the crumb, the better the crust will hold its shape. You should get about 2 cups of crumbs (packed), or about 250g. Stir in the melted butter, and then press the mixture tightly into a pie dish.

If you overmix the dough, the cookies will be dry and crumbly. The best way to fix this is to add more liquid to the dough. This can be done by adding milk, water, or even melted butter. You may also need to add more flour to the dough if it is too wet.

The best way to store Oreo balls is in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Heat is not an oreo truffle's best friend. Keep these treats cool in the fridge and they're ready to serve any time you need them.

Big chunks of oreo can make the crust too crumbly.
