Ingredients
Scale
24 Oreo cookies
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup white chocolate chips
1 tablespoon vegetable shortening
Orange or black food coloring (optional)
Sprinkles or chopped nuts for decorating (optional)
Instructions
Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
Melt the white chocolate chips and vegetable shortening in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, melt using a double boiler.
If desired, stir in food coloring to achieve your desired pumpkin shade.
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork or toothpick to lift the balls and allow excess chocolate to drip off.
Place the coated balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
While the chocolate is still wet, decorate with sprinkles or chopped nuts, if using. You can also drizzle additional melted white chocolate over the balls for extra decoration.
Refrigerate the pumpkin Oreo balls for at least 15-30 minutes, or until the white chocolate has set.
Notes
For best results, use regular Oreo cookies, not Double Stuf.
You can make these a day or two in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
If you don’t have pumpkin pie spice, you can make your own by combining cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and cloves.
