How to make Strawberry Shortcake Oreo Balls (Step 1, 2, 3…)
Step 1: In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
Step 2: Stir in the crushed freeze-dried strawberries and vanilla extract until well combined.
Step 3: Add the finely crushed Golden Oreos and mix until a dough forms.
Step 4: Scoop and roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Freeze the balls for about 20 minutes until firm.
Step 6: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Step 7: Dip each chilled ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess chocolate drip off.
Step 8: Place back on the parchment-lined sheet and sprinkle with crushed freeze-dried strawberries or sprinkles before the coating sets.
Step 9: Optional: Drizzle with melted semi-sweet chocolate for a decorative touch.
Step 10: Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to fully set.
