Ingredients

  • 18 Golden Oreos
  • 4 ounces Neufchatel (1/3 the fat cream cheese)

  1. Whirl the Oreos in a food processor until they are crumbs.Dreamsicle Oreo Cookie Balls | www.ShockinglyDelicious.com [2]
  2. Add Neufchatel and extract and whirl until it comes together into a mass or ball.Dreamsicle Oreo Cookie Balls | www.ShockinglyDelicious.com [3]
  3. Using hands, shape into 24-28 small balls and set on a waxed paper- or parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Place in freezer for 10 minutes to firm up.
  4. While balls are in freezer, melt white chocolate chips following package directions. One by one, dip each ball (a pair of forks will help you do this), and place ball on waxed paper or parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle (if you wait too long, the coating will seal and the sprinkles won’t stick). When done, place coated, sprinkled balls back in the refrigerator for an hour, until firm. (You may also freeze them.)
  5. Makes 24-28 balls.
