I’ve been wanting to make cake pops for a while now. They look so adorable that I just couldn’t help myself. However, I wanted to find a no bake version of these cake pops because I don’t really feel like having the oven on now with this heat.
So I came across these no bake Oreo cake pops and thought what a great idea. I mean I love Oreo cookies, who doesn’t, and they seemed easy enough to do. And they were, and did I have fun making them. I felt like a little kid again with all the sprinkles. What a fun project to do with kids.
Now I didn’t make too many, I used half a package of Oreo cookies, so 24 of them, and 1/3 package of cream cheese. You’ll need a food processor to crumble up the cookies.
Now you need to get your hands in there and get dirty. It’ll be like playing with mud. It’s fun, trust me. Mix in the cream cheese with the cookie crumbs thoroughly and shape it into a ball.
Now just form the dough into 1 inch little balls. They already look cute and adorable and you might not be able to resist popping one in your mouth, but that’s ok.
So out of the 1/2 package of Oreo cookies I got 16 cake pops, which is more than enough, unless you have a few kids around, in which case use the entire package. 
Now you’ll have to place the cake pops in the refrigerator for at least 10 to 15 minutes to allow the cake to set. Just before taking them out, melt your chocolate according to the package instructions. I had some yellow chocolate and some regular chocolate, so I used both. I melted my chocolate in the microwave and it took about 1 minute for each. Take out the cake balls and stick the lollipop stick in them, then dip them in the chocolate. I found it easier to use a teaspoon as well to make sure the cake pop is fully coated. After coating the cake ball with chocolate, I sprinkled them with colored sprinkles and place the cake pop in a glass, like you’re placing flowers in a vase. I found this really easy. After you finished all the cake pops, you might need a couple glasses by the way, place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes, until the chocolate sets. After that, they’re all yours, or you can find some kids to give them to.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 package (24 cookies) Oreo cookies
- 1/3 package cream cheese
- melting chocolate
- sprinkles
Instructions:
- Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse it a few times, until thoroughly crumbled.
- Pour the crumbs in a bowl and add the cream cheese. Using your hands thoroughly mix the cream cheese in with the crumbs. Roll the dough into 1 inch balls. Refrigerate balls for at least 10 to 15 minutes.
- Melt chocolate according to package instructions. Take out the cake balls and stick the lollipop stick in them, then dip them in the chocolate one by one. Sprinkle with colored sprinkles if desired. Refrigerate again until chocolate sets.

Enjoy!
Are they good with out dipping them in chocolate and sturdy enough without the chocolate to be a snack. My son does not like chocolate but loves the oreo part?
Mine were pretty sturdy and you could put them in the fridge for a bit, but the cream cheese should hold them together.
My sister in law made these for Easter ,They were great,want to make some for my sons wedding and would like to try using vanilla cookies and possibly nutter butter ( peanut butter )cookies. Any suggestions? Did you ever try any other cookie besides oreos ?
Sorry, I haven’t but the peanut butter cookie idea sounds yummy. Let me know how they turn out if you try them.
I absolutely adore this recipe. Made these for a six-year-old’s birthday party, but I decorated them as Angry Bird Pops
Thanks so much for sharing!

Morgan those are adorable, great way to be creative with them.
Hello, I have a question, would you happen to know how many grams is 1/3 of a pack of cream cheese?
Hi Hana,
A package is 225 g so 1/3 of it would be 75 g.
Hello, I have a small doubt, do you crumble the oreos with or without the white cream in them?
Hi Hana, you crumble them with the white cream.
THIS WAS MY SECOND TIME TRYING CAKE POPS THE RECIPE WAS AWSOME YOUR THE BEST THANK
You’re welcome Breina, glad they turned out.
Hi!
Could you tell me what the best brand of melting chocolate to buy/use is?
Thanks!
Hi,
I used Hershey’s chocolate chips, nothing fancy.
Just making these …. wonderful idea, they are currently in the refridgerator with the sticks in – will post a pic if I do it right

How wonderful, I’d love to see how they turn out.
Hi Jo,
I am from the UK and found your website whilst looking for a recipe for these oreo cake pops. It sounds really easy and simple to do. Thank you for the recipe and I look forward to trying it out. A good idea for a stocking filler present is to put a few of these in a clear cellophane bag and tie with ribbon. Everyone will love these I’m sure x
Hi Tania,
That’s a great idea. Merry Christmas!
You make it look so easy. Everything was fine until it came time to dip the balls in chocolate. What a nightmare. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to dip chocolate. The chocolate was too thick to make an even coat, or the ball would just come off the stick and fall into the chocolate (even after I had chilled the balls in the freezer). I think I need a better recipe for the dipping chocolate. The chocolate chips/baking chocolate bars don’t seem to work.
Sorry to hear you were having issues with the chocolate. I used chocolate chips myself and had no issues. If you find the chocolate is too thick you could add a bit of heavy cream to the chocolate to thin it out a bit. It might make it easier to dip the balls in the chocolate.
How long do these last and I would keep them in the fridge. I want to make them before xmas but not sure how long they keep for?
Thanks
Hi Rita,
Oh that’s a tough question, I wouldn’t make them more than 1 or 2 days in advance because I think they’ll get hard. But if that’s not a problem for you then make them whenever you want I would just make sure you refrigerate them.
I made these last year they are to die for, just put the stick in before refrigerating or you will split the ball. I used the oreos with the cream in the centre and had no issue regarding consistency, if they are to dry just add a bit more cream cheese. I ended up using 300 g oreo and 100g crm cheese that works for me, but they are Australian measurements.
Great tips Cindy. Thanks.
I tried this out and it was absolutely delish, but I had a lot of trouble with coating the balls with chocolate. They kept falling apart. How did you do it??
The cream cheese should help bind the oreo cookie crumbs so as you mix with your hands it should all hold together. So I first made the balls and then I placed them in the fridge so they would set. Make sure you don’t miss that step. So when I took them out of the fridge they were pretty hard, so as you stick the lollipop in them make sure you hold them with one hand. That’s all, then just roll them in some melted chocolate.
Hey Jo! First of all, love your blog. Second. Would you think it’s better to just buy crumbled Oreo already in the packet ? ( they sell them here in Malaysia ) and how much do you think I’d need? (: thanks.
Hi Zee,
Well I never knew that you can buy crumbled Oreo. Gosh how much would you need, do they sell it bulk or in packages. I’d say about a pound should be more than enough and if there’s any extra left over, well just add it to your milk. 
I’d love to know how they turn out.
Thanks so much.
Sure Jo! I’ll send you a picture of it when I get my hands on it! (: but I think it’ll be different without the oreo cream in the middle!
Thanks, I’ll be looking forward to it. When you said you can buy crumbled Oreo I didn’t realize it’s without the oreo cream in the middle.
Hi
I made these over the weekend and they tasted absolutely great but the chocolate split on most of them and it was almost as though they expanded and “exploded”
Any tips on what i might have done wrong or why they would do that?
Regards
Colene
Hi Colene,
Wow that’s strange, did you add sprinkles to them as soon as you dipped them in chocolate and then refrigerate them? What kind of chocolate did you use?
Yipp i dipped them in sprinkles straight afterwards and put them in the fridge, when I took them out, one or two had cracked but after a while of being out at room temperature almost every other one cracked or popped a piece of chocolate up. Maybe it was the heat that caused it.
Nevertheless I shall try again.
Oh that’s possible, I remember putting mine in the fridge for a few hours before I served them.
Hi! I found your blog, while searching for cake pops recipe. This was amazing.!! Everybody loved the oreo one! Thanks so much!
Hi Vita,
I’m so happy you loved the oreo cake pops. Hope you try some other recipes as well.
Hi
I wanted to make these for my daughter’s baby shower (at a restaurant) and was wondering if they had to stay refrigerated.(being that it has cream cheese in it)
Hi Debbie,
I would definitely refrigerate them, I had mine in the fridge for a couple days and they were still good.
Wow, these are fantastic! I have always loved cake pops and I always make them. Your recipe which uses cream cheese is a healthier option rather than chocolate spread! Even though your in america though I can stlill make them in the UK!!!!
Hi Robyn,
They are a lot of fun to make. I hope you enjoy them.
I have never seen the cake pops before, I like it a lot and seems so yummy. Your idea is very good and procedure of making is also very easy.
Thank you.
Got a more accurate measurement than “1/3 package of cream cheese”?
Well a package of cream cheese is 250 g here in Canada, so that would be about 83.3333 grams, or I’d say about 3 and a bit ounces. The size of the cream cheese package is probably the same in the US.
OMG! fabulous! i’ve always been too scared to try the real cake pops…but these are a winner for sure! thanks for sharing xx
Not a problem Brenda, hope you try them.
i love the simplicity of the pops jazzed up with colorful sprinkles!
