Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package (15 ounces / 425 grams) Oreo cookies
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) pumpkin puree
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Coating Ingredients:
- 2 cups (340 grams) white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into fine, uniform crumbs, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Transfer cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and incorporate softened cream cheese, blending thoroughly until a consistent mixture develops.
- Introduce pumpkin puree and pumpkin pie spice into the mixture, stirring until ingredients are completely integrated and color appears uniform.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, craft mixture into compact, uniform spheres approximately one inch in diameter, positioning each on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill formed balls in refrigerator for 25-35 minutes, allowing them to solidify and maintain structural integrity.
- Create chocolate coating by combining white chocolate chips and coconut oil in microwave-safe container, heating at 30-second intervals and stirring between each cycle until smooth and glossy.
- Remove chilled balls from refrigerator and carefully immerse each into melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage, then return to parchment sheet.
- Allow chocolate-coated balls to set at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or expedite process by placing in refrigerator until chocolate hardens completely.
Notes
- Use a food processor for consistent, fine crumbs that will help bind the mixture perfectly without lumps.
- Let cream cheese sit at room temperature for 30 minutes before mixing to create a smooth, lump-free base that blends effortlessly with Oreo crumbs.
- Try pumpkin pie spice quantity to match your taste preference, adding more for intense autumn warmth or less for subtle notes.
- Refrigerating the formed balls helps maintain their shape and prevents chocolate from sliding off during coating, resulting in a cleaner, more professional finish.
