Ingredients
For the Oreo white chocolate balls
- 25 Oreo white cream cookies
- 3 ounce cream cheese softened, 90g
- 1 ¼ cups white chocolate chips 200g
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil 30ml
- yellow gel food coloring
- 20-26 candy eyeballs
For the black icing
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened black cocoa powder 22g
- 1 heaping cup powdered sugar 125g
- 2-3 tablespoons hot water 30-45ml
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5ml
Instructions
For the Oreo white chocolate balls
- Put Oreos in a plastic zipper bag then crush them with a rolling pin until they turn into fine powder.
- In a large bowl, place softened cream cheese and mix until smooth.
- Add Oreo powder into the cream cheese mixture and mix well.
- Separate the Oreo dough evenly (I divided the dough into about 40 gram each) then shape the dough into balls.
- Place the Oreo balls on a flat surface and rest them in a freezer for at least one hour.
- Right before taking out the Oreo balls from the freezer, combine white chocolate and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave the mixture in 30 second increments until melted and smooth.
- In the melted white chocolate mixture, add yellow gel food coloring and mix until well incorporated.
- Take out the frozen dough from the freezer and put a wooden skewer on each Oreo ball. Dip the Oreo balls into the yellow chocolate mixture and coat them evenly. Place the skewers on cake pop stands and rest them in a refrigerator until the chocolate coating is hardened. (If you don’t have cake pop stands, you can stab the skewers into Styrofoam)
- While resting the Oreo balls, make black icing.
For the black icing
- Whisk the unsweetened black cocoa powder, powdered sugar, hot water, and vanilla extract.
- If needed, add 1/8 teaspoon (0.6ml) of water at a time to get to the consistency you want. I recommend medium consistency. Check out consistency information from here.
- Place the black icing into a piping bag.
For the assembly
- Carefully remove the Oreo balls from the skewers and place them into mini cupcake liners (preferably blue ones to make them look more like Minions ;))
- Snip off the corner of the black icing (about 2mm diameter) and draw eyeglasses or monocle on each Oreo ball.
- Place candy eyeballs on where the black icing is and draw glass frames on the side of the eyeballs.
- Draw hair and mouth on each Oreo chocolate ball and done!
