Delicious Oreo Balls
If Oreos rank high among your favorite cookies (high five!), then you’ll be a big fan of these super simple gluten-free Oreo balls that are literally a cinch to make, and are the perfect individual-sized sweet treats!
Why This Recipe Works:
- Simple Ingredients: The ingredients required for these gluten-free Oreo balls are easily accessible at the local grocery store (nothing fancy required!).
- Easy to Make: You only need 20 minutes of hands-on time for these delicious truffles, and the rest is chilling time while you wait for this easy treat to be done.
- Totally Gluten-Free: The best part is that these Oreo cookie balls are 100% gluten-free, which means that even those with Celiac disease or gluten intolerances can enjoy this gluten-free Oreo dessert without worries.
Ingredients You’ll Need + Notes/Substitutions:
Here’s an overview of the ingredients you’ll need for this gluten-free Oreo balls recipe.
(For exact measurements, please scroll down to the printable recipe card at the bottom of this post.)
- Oreos: I used gluten-free Oreo cookies to keep this party favorite gluten-free. Alternatively, you may also use other gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies (such as Glutino cookies) if you prefer. If you are not Celiac or gluten intolerant, go ahead and use regular Oreos instead.
- Cream Cheese: Cream cheese helps to bind the ingredients together, so make sure to add it in. If you are lactose-intolerant, you can use dairy-free cream cheese instead.
- Chocolate Chips: I like using semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use dark chocolate chips, regular chocolate chips or even white chocolate chips if you prefer.
- Coconut Oil: I prefer using refined coconut oil (which has a more neutral flavor) as opposed to extra virgin coconut oil (which has a stronger coconut taste and smell). You may also use another neutral vegetable oil (such as sunflower oil, canola oil etc).
- Chocolate sprinkles: I like to sprinke some chocolate sprinkles on top of the truffles (either plain brown sprinkles or Christmas sprinkles for a more festive feel).
How to Make Gluten-Free Oreo Balls (Step by Step):
1. Pulse Gluten-Free Oreos into Fine Crumbs
In a food processor or high-speed blender, pulse the gluten-free Oreos until you get very fine Oreo crumbs.

2. Add Cream Cheese
Next, add the cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and blend until combined.
3. Scoop Out Dough
Using a cookie scoop, scoop out 2 tablespoons of dough per truffle and place dough in a single layer on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper so the truffles don’t stick to the pan.
Repeat until all the dough is used up.
4. Freeze Until Hardened
Place in the freezer to harden for 10-15 minutes.
5. Roll into Round Balls
Once the dough has hardened a little, use your hands to roll the dough into smooth round balls.
6. Melt Chocolate Chips
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips in 30-second increments in the microwave until melted. If you don’t have a microwave, you may use a double boiler instead.
Add in coconut oil or vegetable to help thin out the chocolate, mixing well until you get a smooth melted chocolate.
7. Dip Balls in Chocolate
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate with a fork, letting any excess chocolate drip back into the bowl.
Remove any excess chocolate from the rim of the bowl.
8. Place Chocolate-Coated Balls on Baking Sheet
Place the chocolate-dipped balls back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet and repeat until all the gluten-free Oreo truffles are done.
9. Decorate with Sprinkles
Top these easy Oreo balls with either chocolate or Christmas sprinkles at this time.
10. Chill Before Serving:
Place the Oreo truffle balls back into the freezer for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
Dish by Dish Tips/Tricks:
- Change Up the Decoration: I used chocolate sprinkles to decorate these easy oreo truffles. Alternatively, you can use chopped nuts or top with crumbled Oreos at this time or crushed candy cane sweets.
