Ingredients
  

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 18 Oreo cookies finely crushed
  • 1 cup vanilla protein powder
  • 3 tbsp milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips optional
  • 1/4 cup finely crushed Oreos or shredded coconut for coating (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Place the Oreo cookies in a bag or food processor and crush into fine crumbs.
  • In a mixing bowl, stir the softened cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
  • Add the Oreo crumbs to the cream cheese and mix until fully combined with no white streaks.
  • Add the protein powder gradually, mixing well after each addition until evenly incorporated.
  • Pour in 2 tbsp of the milk and stir; add the remaining 1 tbsp only if the mixture seems dry or crumbly.
  • Stir in the vanilla bean paste and salt until the mixture forms a thick, smooth dough that holds together.
  • Fold in the mini chocolate chips if using.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or spoon to portion the dough into about 20 equal mounds.
  • Roll each portion between your palms to form smooth balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • If desired, roll each ball in extra crushed Oreos or shredded coconut to coat.
  • Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
  • Store the Oreo protein balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

- Use block-style cream cheese for the best texture; whipped cream cheese may make the mixture too soft.
- If the dough feels too sticky to roll, chill it for 15–20 minutes before forming balls or mix in 1–2 tbsp more protein powder.
- These Oreo protein balls keep well in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For a slightly firmer, more truffle-like texture, freeze the balls for 15–20 minutes before serving.
