If you’re a fan of sweet, indulgent treats, these Oreo Balls with Sweetened Condensed Milk are about to become your new favorite dessert. Unlike traditional Oreo balls that use cream cheese, this recipe features sweetened condensed milk for a rich, creamy texture that’s simply irresistible. Perfect for parties, holidays, or a sweet snack, these Oreo balls are a crowd-pleaser that’s both easy to make and delicious.
Ingredients:
36 Oreo cookies
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups chocolate chips (milk, dark, or white chocolate)
Sprinkles or crushed Oreos for garnish (optional)
Directions:
Crush the Oreos: Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed. This will serve as the base for your Oreo balls.
Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well combined and the mixture forms a thick dough.
Form the Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to handle.
Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Dip the Balls: Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Add Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with additional crushed Oreos or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Set the Chocolate: Return the Oreo balls to the refrigerator for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate has completely set.
Serving Tips:
Presentation: For an elegant touch, arrange the Oreo balls on a decorative platter or in a tiered dessert stand. Garnish with additional sprinkles or crushed Oreos for added visual appeal.
Temperature: Serve the Oreo balls chilled. They are best enjoyed cold, as this helps maintain their shape and the firmness of the chocolate coating.
Portioning: Use a small fork or toothpick to serve the Oreo balls, making them easy to pick up and enjoy without getting chocolate on your hands.
Pairing: These treats pair well with a variety of beverages, including coffee, milk, or even a glass of dessert wine. They’re also great for dessert tables at parties or gatherings.
Storage Tips:
Refrigeration: Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep well for up to 2 weeks. The cool temperature helps maintain their texture and prevents the chocolate from becoming too soft.
Freezing: For longer storage, you can freeze the Oreo balls. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze until solid, then transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Avoid Moisture: Ensure that the container is airtight to prevent moisture from affecting the texture of the chocolate coating.
Layering: If stacking the Oreo balls in a container, place a layer of parchment paper between layers to prevent them from sticking together.
