These vegan Oreo truffles are perfect bite sized treats smothered in vegan chocolate. Easy to make with only 4 simple ingredients.
These Oreo truffles are so perfectly truffle-y (that’s definitely a word) and this super easy 4-ingredient recipe really delivers the goods!
The truffle center is made from vegan cream cheese and crushed Oreo cookies that are then smothered in chocolate and bingo bango there you have it!
The most delicious truffle-y truffles!
The center is perfectly textured and the addition of vegan cream cheese keeps it from being too sweet (not that that’s really a thing, not for me anyway) and also holds it together perfectly.
I tried this with some whipped coconut cream as well, just to see if that would also work, for people who can’t get hold of vegan cream cheese, but sadly it did not work. It’s cream cheese or nothing for these truffles.
And if you love delicious vegan truffles then you’ll also love our vegan chocolate truffles and our vegan coconut truffles.

Ingredient Notes
- Oreo cookies – we use whole Oreo cookies in this recipe, there is no need to remove the white centers. You can also switch this for other vegan chocolate sandwich cookies.
- Vegan cream cheese – we have tried this recipe with Violife vegan cream cheese and Tofutti cream cheese and both options worked great.
- Vegan chocolate – you can melt down any high quality vegan chocolate or use vegan chocolate chips instead.
- Coconut oil – this simply thins out the vegan chocolate a little making it easier to dip the Oreo balls.
How To Make Vegan Oreo Truffles
You will find full instructions and measurements in the recipe card at the bottom of the post. This is a summary of the process to go along with the process photos.
- Crumble the Oreo cookies in the food processor.
- Mix the cookie crumbs and vegan cream cheese in a bowl.
- Roll into balls and place onto a parchment lined tray. Place into the freezer to set.
- Add vegan chocolate and coconut oil to a microwave safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, bringing it out to stir every 30-seconds until melted.
- Roll the balls in melted vegan chocolate and place them back onto your parchment lined tray.
- Then you just do decorative chocolate drizzles over the top, place the tray in the fridge to set and there you have it. Perfect truffles.
Recipe Tips
Soften the cream cheese. If your vegan cream cheese is quite solid then give it a quick whirl in the food processor or stand mixer to soften it before you add it in with the Oreo cookie crumbs. If it is too firm then it will be difficult to mix it in.
Make them gluten free. If you would like to make a gluten free version of these Oreo truffles then you can use gluten free Oreo cookies or another gluten free chocolate sandwich cookie of your choice.
