Ingredient Notes
Oreos: Regular, not double stuffed. Double stuffed have too much frosting in them.
Vegan Cream Cheese: My favorite brand is Tofutti.
Chocolate Chips: For dipping.
Coconut Oil: This thins the chocolate coating just a bit and makes it easier to dip the truffles.
Variations
You don't have to garnish the Vegan Oreo Balls at all, but I like to top them with additional Oreo crumbs and a pinch of flakey sea salt.
Instead, you could use sprinkles, crushed freeze-dried strawberries or a drizzle of non-dairy white chocolate!
Special Equipment
You need a food processor for this recipe.
If you have a really small food processor, grind the Oreos in batches and add them to a bowl.
Then, mix the vegan cream cheese in by hand in the bowl and proceed with the recipe.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1. Add Oreos into a food processor.
Step 2. Process the Oreos until they are finely ground, then add vegan cream cheese.
Step 3. Process until combined.
Step 4. Scoop the dairy-free Oreo truffle center onto a parchment-lined sheet pan and refrigerate.
Step 5. Melt chocolate with coconut oil and dip the Vegan Oreo Truffels.
Step 6. Top with sea salt or finely crushed Oreo.
How to Melt Chocolate
Chocolate is one of the most temperamental ingredients to work with. Its scalds and seizes easily.
To avoid this, here is how I do it:
Place the chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
If your chocolate is mostly melted, do not place it back in for another interval! The residual heat will melt the remaining chocolate. Just allow it to sit for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
Then, it start dipping these dairy-free vegan oreo balls.
Recipe FAQ
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
Yes! If you prefer vanilla, swap the Oreos for Golden Oreos.
Expert Tips and Tricks
Do not use double stuffed Oreos! They have too much frosting in the center and the Vegan Oreo Balls will be too soft to dip in chocolate.
If your truffle center is too soft to dip, place the balls in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up, then proceed.
