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.

• Mixing bowl

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!
