In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dairy-free chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Coat the Balls

Storage Tips
To keep your Vegan Oreo Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to one week, but you may find they disappear much sooner! If you want to prepare them ahead of time, these treats can be made a few days in advance, ensuring you have a delicious dessert ready for any occasion.
For longer storage, consider freezing the Oreo Balls. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet until firm, then transfer them to a freezer-safe container. They can be frozen for up to three months. When you’re ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours.
Customization Ideas
Feel free to get creative with your Vegan Oreo Balls! Consider rolling them in crushed nuts, sprinkles, or shredded coconut after coating them in chocolate. These additions not only enhance the visual appeal but also add extra texture and flavor that can elevate your dessert experience.
You can also experiment with different flavors by using flavored dairy-free cream cheese or adding a splash of vanilla or almond extract to the mixture. For a fun twist, try incorporating crushed peppermint candies or orange zest for a seasonal touch.
