These 3-ingredient Thermomix Oreo Balls are super easy to make. They're made with Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and silky dark chocolate.
Oreo Balls are also known as Oreo Truffles. Either way, they're deliciously crunchy on the outside and soft and gooey in the centre.
You don't have to bake them, and they're perfect for an easy dessert or afternoon treat. I've drizzled them in white chocolate and crushed Oreos, but you could cover them with sprinkles.

Why You'll Love This Recipe
- Three easy ingredients.
- No-bake recipe.
Ingredients
- Oreo Cookies: For this recipe, which makes 18 balls, I use a whole packet of Oreos with 39 cookies in it. That sounds like a lot of Oreos, but the good news is you can freeze any surplus balls for another day. If you want to decorate the balls with crushed Oreos, you'll need a couple more biscuits.
- Cream Cheese: Philadelphia is the most popular choice, but I prefer Woolworths' home brand, which comes in a convenient 225g box. Philadelphia comes in a 250g tub, so if you buy that, some cream cheese will be left over for bagels. 😋
- Chocolate: I love using dark chocolate with a white chocolate drizzle. You could do it the other way: white chocolate with dark chocolate drizzle. Or leave the drizzling out and add a sprinkling of crushed Oreos.
How to Make Thermomix Oreo Balls
With just three simple ingredients, not much can go wrong, but a little planning is involved to achieve the best results.
- Crush the Oreo cookies: Start by blitzing the whole Oreo cookie in the Thermomix until it transforms into fine crumbs.
- Add the cream cheese to combine. Make sure it is softened at room temperature so it blends easily.
- Place the mixture in the fridge to chill for 10 minutes so it's easier to roll into balls.
- Roll into balls and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Freeze the balls for 20 minutes so they don't fall apart when dipped in chocolate.
- Dip the balls in chocolate. Place one Oreo ball on a fork and spoon the melted chocolate over the top and sides of the ball. Gently lift the fork up and down to shake off any excess chocolate.
- Place the balls back on the baking tray to decorate.
- For the chocolate drizzle - I used a ziplock bag and inserted a tiny hole in the bottom corner. I melted the chocolate in the microwave instead of the Thermomix, as you only need a small amount. You could also decorate with crushed Oreos or sprinkles before the chocolate sets so they stick and don't fall off.
Storage
Store the Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the fridge for two weeks or freezer for three months.
📖 Recipe
Thermomix Oreo Balls (3-Ingredients)
These 3-ingredient Thermomix Oreo Balls are super easy to make. Made with Oreo cookies and cream cheese, then dipped in silky dark chocolate, they're perfect for a bite-sized dessert or an afternoon treat.
Ingredients
- 225g cream cheese softened at room temperature
- 39 Oreo cookies (370g), see note 1
- 200g dark chocolate
Optional Toppings
- extra Oreo cookies, crushed
- 60g white chocolate, melted for drizzling
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Add the Oreos to the Thermomix bowl and crush 7 sec/speed 7 until they form fine crumbs.
- Chop the cream cheese into quarters and add to the Thermomix bowl. Mix for 15 sec/reverse/speed 4 until combined.
- Place the Thermomix bowl with the mixture in it in the fridge for 15 minutes. This will make the balls easier to roll.
- Scoop the mixture out one heaped tablespoon at a time and roll into balls. Then, place on a baking tray lined with greaseproof paper. The balls I make are similar to walnut-size. (You might need to use two small baking trays depending on the size of your freezer.)
- Place the balls in the freezer for 25 minutes. Freezing them makes it easier to dip them into the melted chocolate, and they don't fall apart.
For the Chocolate Coating
- Add the chocolate to the Thermomix bowl and grate for 5 sec/speed 10. Melt for 2-3 mins/50°/speed 2. Scrape down the bowl halfway through and check there's no unmelted chocolate stuck to the blades. When finished, pour the chocolate into a bowl.
- Remove the balls from the freezer. Place one Oreo ball on a fork and spoon the melted chocolate over the top and sides of the ball. Gently lift the fork up and down to shake off any excess, then slide it back onto the baking tray to decorate. (See photos in the recipe post).
- Once decorated, leave the balls to set at room temperature and store them in the fridge.
Chocolate Drizzle
- Heat the white chocolate in the microwave in bursts, occasionally stirring until melted.
- Transfer it to a small ziplock bag and cut a tiny hole in the bottom corner.
- Drizzle over the chocolate balls in a zig-zag motion, then leave them to dry.
Crushed Oreos Topping
- Crush a couple of Oreos in the Thermomix or a zip-lock bag. Sprinkle over the Oreo balls just after they have been dipped in chocolate so they stick before the chocolate sets.
Notes
1. The Oreo cookies I bought conveniently came in a packet of 39, which weighed 370g (see photo in recipe post).
How to Store
These Oreo Balls can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for two weeks or in a freezer for three months.
