Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies regular, not double-stuffed
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 12 –16 ounces white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- Pastel candy melts or gel food coloring pink, yellow, blue, lavender
- Sprinkles or edible glitter optional
- Optional: 1 teaspoon coconut oil to thin coating if needed
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Cookie Mixture
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
- (Or crush in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin.)
- Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl.
- Add softened cream cheese.
- Mix until fully combined and smooth. The mixture should be soft and hold its shape when pressed together.
- Step 2: Shape the Eggs
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of mixture.
- Shape into an egg form using your hands.
- Place onto the lined baking sheet.
- Freeze for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Step 3: Coat in Candy
- Melt candy melts according to package instructions (30-second microwave intervals, stirring between each).
- Remove eggs from freezer.
- Dip each egg into melted coating.
- Lift out with a fork and tap gently to remove excess coating.
- Place back onto parchment paper.
- Step 4: Decorate
- Immediately add sprinkles or drizzle contrasting melted candy on top.
- Let coating harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.
Notes
- Do not remove Oreo filling — it helps bind the mixture.
- Make sure cream cheese is fully softened to prevent lumps.
- If coating is too thick, stir in 1 teaspoon coconut oil.
- If coating cracks, let frozen centers sit at room temperature 2–3 minutes before dipping.
- Store chilled for best texture.
