What Are Vegan Oreo Truffles?

Vegan Oreo Truffles are small dessert balls made with crushed Oreo cookies and dairy-free cream cheese, then coated in melted vegan chocolate. They’re rich, creamy, and offer the perfect balance between crunch and smoothness.

Yes, Oreos are accidentally vegan, which makes them a great option for plant-based desserts. Just be sure to choose certified vegan cream cheese and chocolate to keep the whole treat dairy-free.

These truffles are a hit during celebrations. Serve them alongside other festive goodies like Pumpkin Truffles or Rice Krispie Treat Ghosts for a spooky and sweet Halloween spread.

Ingredients Needed for Vegan Oreo Truffles

Here’s what you’ll need to make around 30 truffles:

  • 36 Oreo cookies (about 405g / 14.3 oz)
  • 1 (8 oz / 226g) tub vegan cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups (350g) vegan chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
  • Crushed Oreo crumbs or sprinkles, for garnish

Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

You don’t need anything fancy to make these truffles. Here’s what helps:

  • Food processor or blender (or a rolling pin and zip bag)
  • Mixing bowl
  • Spoon or cookie scoop
  • Parchment-lined baking tray
  • Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
  • Fork or dipping tool

Optional: If you’re in the holiday mood, display your finished truffles next to themed treats like Cockroach Cupcakes for a fun Halloween party.

How to Make Vegan Oreo Truffles

1. Crush the Oreos

Place the cookies (filling included) in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. No food processor? You can crush them in a bag using a rolling pin.

2. Combine with Vegan Cream Cheese

In a bowl, mix the cookie crumbs with vegan cream cheese until fully incorporated. The mixture should be sticky and hold together like dough.

3. Roll the Truffles

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining dough and place each ball on a parchment-lined tray.

4. Chill the Dough

Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm them up. This step helps them stay together when dipped.

5. Melt the Chocolate

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate and coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring each time. Alternatively, use a double boiler.

6. Dip the Truffles

Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, then place it back on the parchment. Garnish immediately with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzle with vegan white chocolate.

7. Let Them Set

Refrigerate again until the chocolate sets—about 20 minutes. Your Vegan Oreo Truffles are now ready to devour!

Tips for Perfect Vegan Oreo Truffles

  • Use soft cream cheese to make mixing easier.

  • Work quickly when dipping, especially in warm kitchens where chocolate sets fast.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt to the mixture for extra depth.
  • Use a fork or skewer for cleaner dipping.

  • Arrange on a tiered dessert tray or charcuterie-style board.
  • Use mini cupcake liners for a polished look.
  • Drizzle with white chocolate or top with edible glitter for parties.
  • Wrap them in treat bags or boxes for homemade gifts.

These pair beautifully with festive drinks like a chilled Lavender Lemonade or a warm mug of oat milk cocoa.

How to Store Leftovers Properly

These truffles store well, so feel free to make them ahead of time.

  • In the Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
  • In the Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months and thaw before serving.
  • Avoid heat: Keep them in a cool place to maintain the chocolate coating.

Planning a brunch? Serve these as part of a dessert platter alongside Mini Pancake Cereal or Puff Pastry Bats for something spooky and sweet.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vegan Oreo Truffles

Are Oreos really vegan?

Yes! Classic Oreos are made without dairy or eggs, making them accidentally vegan. Always double-check packaging for potential cross-contamination if you’re allergic to milk.

Can I use other cookies?

Absolutely! Use any dairy-free chocolate sandwich cookie. Just keep the cookie-to-cream ratio similar.

What if I don’t have vegan cream cheese?

You can try using thick coconut cream or nut butter, but the flavor and texture will change. For something fun, consider the filling style of these Cheesecake Stuffed Chocolate Chip Cookies.

Can I skip the chocolate coating?

Yes. Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or crushed nuts for a different finish.
