Scale
Oreo Cake Ball Mixture
- 24 Oreo cookies (approx. 260 g)
- 70 g (1/3 cup) cream cheese, softened
Chocolate Coating
- White chocolate, for melting
- Semi-sweet (dark) chocolate, for decorating
- 20 lollipop sticks
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Finely blend the Oreo cookies in a food processor until you get a fine powder with no lumps.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo powder and stir with a tablespoon until the mixture is smooth and compact.
- Form Cake Balls: Shape 20 balls of the dough, each weighing around 20g, forming them tightly to hold their shape.
- Chill Cake Balls: Place the Oreo cake balls in the fridge for about 20 minutes to firm up before dipping.
- Melt White Chocolate: Heat the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave until smooth and runny, then pour it into a medium deep bowl for dipping.
- Insert Lollipop Sticks: Dip the end of each lollipop stick into melted chocolate, then insert it into the center of each cake ball to secure the stick in place.
- Dip Cake Pops: Fully dip each cake pop into the melted white chocolate, then gently shake off the excess chocolate to avoid drips.
- Set Cake Pops: Place the dipped cake pops on a cake pop stand or parchment paper to let the chocolate harden completely.
- Decorate: Use melted semi-sweet chocolate and a piping bag to create decorative designs on the hardened white chocolate coating.
- Chill Before Serving: Leave the decorated cake pops in the fridge to cool completely before serving for best texture and presentation.
Notes
- Storage: Keep cake pops refrigerated for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Substitutions: Cream cheese can be replaced with mascarpone, Nutella, or other creamy spreads to vary flavor.
