3-Ingredient Oreo Truffles That Will Ruin All Desserts
Ever wanted a dessert that’s so easy it almost feels wrong? Meet your new obsession: Oreo truffles with just three ingredients.
Creamy, chocolatey, dangerously addictive—these little bites will ruin every other dessert for you.
These 3 ingredient Oreo truffles exist for moments exactly like this.
They’re rich, chocolatey, and suspiciously easy.
One bite in, and suddenly every other dessert feels like it’s trying too hard.
I’m not saying these truffles will become your entire personality—but I’m also not not saying that.
Bonus: they’re also a great excuse to eat chocolate for breakfast.
3 Ingredient Oreo Truffles Recipe
Ingredients
- Oreo Cookies – Regular ones. No need to remove the filling—don’t make life harder than it needs to be.
- Cream Cheese – Full-fat softened. This is not the moment for “light” versions.
- Chocolate – Semi-sweet or dark chocolate for coating. Chocolate chips or a chopped bar both work.
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs. Use a food processor if you want speed, or a zip-top bag and rolling pin if you want to release stress.
- Mix the crumbs with cream cheese until smooth and dough-like. The mixture should hold together easily without sticking to everything you own.
- Roll into small balls, about one tablespoon each. Place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the truffles for 20–30 minutes until firm. This step matters—soft truffles and melted chocolate do not get along.
- Melt the chocolate gently, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coat completely, then place back on parchment.
- Chill again until the chocolate sets. Try not to eat five “just to test.”
Why This Recipe Is Awesome
First of all, it uses three ingredients. That alone deserves a slow clap.
No baking. No fancy tools. No “let soften at room temperature for exactly 47 minutes” nonsense.
Second, these truffles taste like something you’d buy from a fancy dessert shop that uses words like artisan and handcrafted.
Except you made them while wearing pajamas.
Third, they’re embarrassingly easy. Like, “I could teach this to someone who burns toast” easy.
If you can crush cookies and stir things together, you’re already overqualified.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Short list. Big results. Love to see it.

That’s it. Three ingredients. Zero regrets.

How to Serve
Serve these truffles chilled for the best texture. They’re rich, so smaller is better—trust me on this.
They look incredible on dessert platters, holiday trays, or tucked into little paper cups if you want to feel fancy with minimal effort.
Also great for gifting… if you can bring yourself to part with them.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Skipping the chill step. Warm truffles + melted chocolate = chaos.
- Using cold cream cheese. Lumpy truffle dough is nobody’s dream.
- Overheating the chocolate. Burnt chocolate smells sad and tastes worse.
- Making them too big. These are rich—bite-sized is the move.
Alternatives & Substitutions
- Use dark chocolate if you like a less-sweet, more dramatic flavor. IMO, it balances the Oreo filling perfectly.
- Swap Oreos for chocolate sandwich cookies if needed, but brand-name Oreos really do hit differently.
- Add a white chocolate drizzle for contrast and visual flair.
- Roll truffles in cocoa powder instead of dipping if you want less sweetness and less mess.
FYI: This recipe thrives on simplicity. Don’t overthink it.
Final Thoughts
These Oreo truffles are dangerous in the best way.
They’re fast, rich, and wildly satisfying for something that takes almost no effort.
Once you make them, you’ll start finding excuses to “just whip up a batch.”
Guests coming over? Truffles. Bad day? Truffles. Random Tuesday? Definitely truffles.
Go make them. Just don’t blame me when other desserts stop impressing you.
