Notes

Nutrition Information
- 1 (14.3 oz) package Golden Oreos
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/4 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into a fine powder
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 12 oz (two 6-oz bars) high-quality white chocolate, chopped
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or shortening
- Optional: Pink sprinkles, extra crushed freeze-dried strawberries, or gold dust for decorating
Bringing This Recipe to Life (Step-by-Step)
Put on some fun music! This is the best part. Get ready to get your hands a little dirty. It’s totally worth it.
- Crush those cookies! Toss all the Golden Oreos (creme filling and all!) into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine, even crumbs. No big chunks! If you don’t have a processor, put them in a ziplock bag and go to town with a rolling pin. It’s great stress relief.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, strawberry powder, and vanilla. Mix it with a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon until it’s fully combined. It will look like a thick, pinkish, delicious dough.
- Now, roll! Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion the dough. Roll each portion between your palms to form a smooth, one-inch ball. Place each ball on your parchment-lined baking sheet. This is strangely satisfying work.
- Pop the whole tray into the freezer for at least 15 minutes. This chill time is non-negotiable! It makes the dipping process so much easier.
- While the balls chill, melt your chocolate. Combine the chopped white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring well between each, until completely smooth and runny.
- Time to dip! Using a fork or a dipping tool, lower a chilled truffle ball into the melted white chocolate. Tap off the excess and gently place it back on the parchment. Immediately add your sprinkles or decorations before the chocolate sets.
- Repeat with all truffles. Let them set at room temperature until the chocolate is firm. Or, if you’re impatient like me, stick the tray back in the fridge for 10 minutes to speed things up.
Fun Variations to Try Next Time
Once you master the basic recipe, the world is your truffle! Here are my favorite twists.
Try using Lemon Oreos instead of Golden. Add a little lemon zest to the mix. Dip in yellow-tinted white chocolate. Instant sunshine bites!
For a cookies-and-cream vibe, use classic chocolate Oreos. Skip the strawberry powder. Roll the finished truffles in extra Oreo crumbs. So good!
Make them fancy! After dipping, drizzle them with a little melted pink candy melts or dark chocolate. It looks professional and takes two seconds.
How to Store, Freeze, and Reheat
These truffles are perfect for making ahead. They are little lifesavers!
Store them in a single layer in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll stay perfect for up to a week. The cold makes them even better! For another cool, fruity treat you can stash in the freezer, check out these easy strawberry yogurt bites.
To freeze, place them on a baking sheet until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. They’ll keep for 2-3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight. No reheating needed—they are meant to be eaten cool and creamy!

A Quick Q&A on This Recipe
Can I use fresh strawberries instead of freeze-dried?
I don’t recommend it, friend! Fresh fruit adds too much moisture. It will make your truffle mixture super sticky and hard to roll. The freeze-dried powder gives that intense strawberry punch without any sogginess. It’s the secret weapon!
My white chocolate is too thick! Help!
This happens to everyone! If your melted chocolate is clumpy or thick, that’s where the coconut oil saves the day. Add another 1/2 teaspoon and stir. It will thin it right out to a perfect dipping consistency. A little fat is your best friend here.
Are these good for party favors?
Are you kidding? They are PERFECT! I put them in little clear treat bags tied with a ribbon. People go nuts for them. They look gorgeous, travel well, and taste like a million bucks. The ultimate edible gift.
And there you have it! My most requested, most beloved, no-bake treat of all time. These truffles are pure joy in bite-sized form.
They prove that the best desserts don’t need to be complicated. Just delicious. I am so excited for you to make them and see your friends’ faces light up. If you’re looking for a more decadent, baked strawberry dessert, this stunning Strawberry Chocolate Cake is a showstopper.
