Ingredients You’ll Need

ingredients needed to make no bake oreo cake pops.
  • Oreo Cookies – You’ll need some regular Oreos! But you don’t have to use the brand name. You can also use double-stuffed or Golden Oreos too.
  • Cream Cheese – The cream cheese needs to be at almost room temperature. It’s used to mold the cake pops into balls and makes them creamy. Cream cheese frosting is another option. 
  • Chocolate – Used to coat the cake pops. You can use any type of chocolate you prefer from milk chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate, or dark chocolate. You can even use white chocolate as long as it will melt. 

How To Make No Bake Oreo Cake Pops

These sweet treats are ridiculously easy! You don’t even have to turn on the oven! Once you crumble the cookies it takes just minutes to make the balls and then dip them in chocolate.

Make The Cookie Crumbles

process shots showing how to make no bake oreo cake pops.

To begin, you need to turn the Oreos into crumbled cookies. To do this just put the cookies in a food processor and then pulse them a few times until they are fine crumbs. You can also put the cookies in a plastic ziplock bag and then crush them using a rolling pin or meat mallet. 

Make The Cake Pop Balls

process shots showing how to make no bake oreo cake pops.

Next, put the Oreo cookie crumbs into a large bowl and add the cream cheese. Then use your hands to mix everything together until it’s fully combined. You can also combine the two right in the food processor.

Now, form and roll the mixture into about 16 1-inch balls. 

Let The Balls Chill

process shots showing how to make no bake oreo cake pops.

After all the dough has been rolled into balls, put them into the fridge for at least 10 to 15 minutes to chill. They need to firm up a bit before you cover them in chocolate. If you don’t wait the balls will be mushy and lose their form.

Melt The Chocolate

process shots showing how to make no bake oreo cake pops.

Once the dough balls are chilled, you can melt the chocolate. You should melt your chocolate according to the package instructions. However, if there are no instructions you can do it in the microwave, but you need to be careful not to burn it. Just put the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and then microwave it in 30 seconds intervals, stirring after every 30 seconds until smooth and melted.

Dip The Pops

First, take the cake balls out of the fridge and stick a lollipop stick in each one to turn them into cake pops! Next, dip each pop into the melted chocolate one at a time and sprinkle them with some more cookie crumbs or even sprinkles if you like.

Then set the decorated cake pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper with the stick up. Now, put the cake pops into the refrigerator to chill for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate fully sets.

What Can I Add To The Cake Pops?

The ratios of the ingredients must stay exactly the same or the recipe won’t work. But you can use any type of sandwich cookies you like to create other flavors. You could also even try to use chocolate chip cookies. However, you may need to add more cream cheese for some cookies to help the balls mold together. You can also drizzle them with caramel or sprinkle the cake pops with other things like nuts, mini chocolate chips, or diced dried fruit. Feel free to get as creative as you like. 

Why Are My Cake Pops Sweating?

The sweating is just condensation and doesn’t impact the taste at all. It happens and is totally normal when things are stored in the fridge. This is why it’s important to store the cake pops in an airtight container which can help to prevent the pops from sweating. You can also dab them with some paper towels before serving to remove the condensation.

Expert Tips

  1. Soft cream cheese. The cream cheese needs to be at almost room temperature to mix it together with the cookies. Hard cream cheese is too chunky and firm.
  2. The dough balls must chill. The cake pops will not hold their shape if the cream cheese is warm. You must let the formed balls chill in the fridge until they firm up.
  3. Tap off excess chocolate. After dipping the pops in melted chocolate you should shake or tap off the excess. This helps it to distribute more evenly and coat the cake pops.

Storage

Oreo cake pops will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days in an airtight container. You can also store them in the freezer for up to 1 month. Then just allow them to thaw in the fridge. Cake pops can not be stored at room temperature.

I froze the Oreo pops for 15-20 minutes, dipped the sticks in the melted chocolate, then inserted into the cake pops. I let them sit for a couple of minutes to harden, then tried to dip the balls in the chocolate. They keep falling off the stick. Any tips?

I’m sorry to hear you’re having trouble with the cake pops falling off the sticks. One possible reason could be the consistency of the cookies and cream cheese mixture; if it’s too soft, the balls may not hold well on the sticks. Another tip is to freeze them for a bit longer, say around 30-40 minutes, to make sure they are firm enough before dipping into the chocolate.

Also, make sure the melted chocolate isn’t too hot when you dip the cake pops, as this could soften them and cause them to slide off the stick. It helps to dip the stick into the chocolate and then into the cake pop, letting it harden fully before doing the full chocolate coating. This creates a kind of “glue” that helps keep everything together. I hope these tips help for a more successful cake pop experience!

Delicious! Kids and adults inhaled them! I’ve been asked to make these again….will be a repeat sweet treat for us! I had a hard time making the pops stay upright while they set once dipped in the white chocolate, so I just made them without sticks. It as cute, but just as good. Thanks for another great recipe!

Your comment just made my day and I’m so glad these were a hit with both kids and adults, and I love your creative solution to go stick-less! If you ever want to try the sticks again, chilling the cake balls a bit longer or using something to hold them upright might help. But hey, as long as they taste great, that’s what matters most! Thanks for making my recipe a part of your sweet treat repertoire!
P.S. If you have any pictures of your cute stick-less versions, I’d love to see them! 🧁😊

Can you use butter instead of cream cheese? Or substitute some of the cream cheese for butter?

While it is possible to use butter in these cake pops, it may not yield the same results as using cream cheese. Cream cheese provides a rich, tangy flavor and a creamy texture that helps bind the crushed Oreo cookies together.

If you would like to use butter instead of cream cheese, you may need to adjust the amount of butter and possibly add a binding agent, such as sweetened condensed milk or even a small amount of frosting, to achieve a similar consistency to the cream cheese mixture. However, keep in mind that the flavor and texture of the cake pops will be different, as the butter will not provide the same tanginess as cream cheese.

I’m excited to try these for Halloween treats! Because of the cream cheese, do these need to be refrigerated after you make them? How long do they keep?

So the other day I asked if I could prep these to the point of inserting the stick then leave to decorate the next morning and thank you for replying so quickly.
They were such a hit!! When the kids at my sons party saw them all eye lit up.
Much to my grown daughters dismay, she was hoping for left overs 🙂 Thank you so much for sharing this recipe, as easy to prep as they are to devour

Since we’re using cream cheese, I would definitely refrigerate them. They should be fine for about a week.
