Ingredients
For the Oreo Balls
- 1 package of vegan Oreo cookies
- 1 cup of vegan cream cheese

Instructions
Crush the Oreos
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed. Transfer to a mixing bowl.
Mix with Cream Cheese
Add the vegan cream cheese to the crushed Oreos and mix until well combined.
Form the Balls
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted.
Coat the Balls
Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Return to the baking sheet.
Chill and Serve
Refrigerate the coated Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate is set. Enjoy!
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Storing Your Oreo Balls
To keep your Vegan Oreo Balls fresh, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can last up to a week, though they are likely to be devoured long before then! If you want to prepare them in advance, you can also freeze them for up to a month. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent them from sticking together.
When you're ready to enjoy them, simply let them thaw in the fridge for a couple of hours, and they'll be as delicious as when they were first made. This makes them a great option for meal prep or planning ahead for gatherings.
Pairing Suggestions
These Vegan Oreo Balls are delightful on their own, but they can also be paired with various beverages for an elevated experience. Consider serving them with a glass of almond milk, a vegan hot chocolate, or a cup of herbal tea. The sweetness of the Oreo Balls complements these drinks beautifully, making for a cozy treat.
For a more festive touch, try pairing them with a vegan dessert wine or a fruity sparkling beverage at your next gathering. This will not only enhance the flavors but also create an inviting atmosphere for your guests to enjoy.
