Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate or candy melts
Decoration:
- Candy eyes
Optional Ingredient:
- 1 teaspoon (5 milliliters) coconut oil
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies in a food processor until they transform into a fine, uniform powder.
- Blend the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese, ensuring a smooth and cohesive mixture.
- Craft the mixture into compact, bite-sized spheres approximately one inch in diameter, positioning them carefully on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Chill the orb-shaped treats in the freezer for a precise 20-30 minute interval to solidify their structure.
- Gently liquify white chocolate or candy melts within a microwave-safe vessel, pausing periodically to stir and prevent scorching.
- Delicately immerse each frozen oreo sphere into the molten white chocolate coating, ensuring complete coverage and returning them to the parchment-lined surface.
- While the chocolate remains glossy and fluid, strategically place candy eyes and artfully drape additional white chocolate strands to mimic intricate mummy bandage textures.
- Allow the confections to set and stabilize, either at ambient room temperature or within the refrigerator’s cool environment, until they achieve a firm, pristine consistency.
Notes
- Choose a food processor with sharp blades to create ultra-fine Oreo crumbs for smoother texture.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature to blend seamlessly with cookie crumbs without lumps.
- Chill the Oreo mixture before rolling to prevent sticky hands and create perfectly round balls.
- Use candy melts instead of white chocolate for easier melting and a more stable coating.
- Cool the dipped Oreo balls quickly in the refrigerator to set the chocolate faster and prevent melting.
- Create gluten-free version by using gluten-free sandwich cookies and checking candy melts ingredients.
- Store mummy Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week for maximum freshness.
