How to Make Oreo Cookies Cream Cake Pops Step-by-Step

1. Crush the Oreos

Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, put cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground. The finer the crumbs, the smoother your cake pops will be.

2. Mix with Cream Cheese

Transfer the crushed Oreos to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and gently mix using a spatula or your hands until the mixture is uniform and sticky. This mixture will form the base of your cake pops.

3. Chill the Mixture

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 30 minutes. Chilling firms up the mixture, making it easier to shape.

4. Shape the Cake Pops

Remove the mixture from the fridge. Using your hands or a small ice cream scoop, form the mixture into 1.5-inch balls. Insert a cake pop stick about halfway into each ball. Place the formed pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

5. Freeze to Set

Freeze the cake pops for 15-20 minutes to help them firm up further. This step is important to avoid the cake pops falling apart during coating.

6. Melt the Coating

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth and fully melted.

7. Dip the Cake Pops

Remove cake pops from the freezer. Hold each pop by the stick and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering completely. Allow any excess coating to drip off.

8. Add Decorations

While the coating is still wet, roll or sprinkle crushed Oreos over the pops for added texture and appearance. Place the dipped pops upright in a Styrofoam block or cake pop stand to set.

9. Chill to Harden

Refrigerate the cake pops for at least 30 minutes until the coating hardens completely.

Serving and Storage

• Serving: These cake pops are best served chilled or at room temperature.
• Storage: Store cake pops in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a sealed container for up to a month; thaw in the fridge before serving.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Crush Oreos finely: The smoother the crumbs, the better the texture and easier to shape the cake pops.
• Use room temperature cream cheese: Softened cream cheese blends well and ensures a creamy, uniform mixture.
• Chill thoroughly: Don’t skip the chilling steps; they help the pops hold their shape and prevent melting during dipping.
• Be gentle when dipping: Avoid swirling the pop in the coating too much to prevent it from falling apart.
• Use a Styrofoam block: This helps the cake pops dry evenly and maintain their shape while the coating hardens.
• Customize decorations: Have fun with colored sprinkles, edible glitter, or drizzle with contrasting chocolate for a beautiful finish.
