How To Make Funfetti Oreo Pops
Step One: Place Oreos in a food processor and grind them into fine crumbs. If your processor is small, do this in two batches for even crumbs.
Step Two: Add room-temperature cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. (If the cream cheese isn’t soft, microwave it for 20-30 seconds but ensure it isn’t hot.) Mix until the crumbs and cream cheese form a dough ball. Stop mixing when the dough comes together.
Step Three: Remove the blade from the processor and fold in sprinkles using a spatula. Mix gently to avoid breaking the dough.
Step Four: Use a cookie scoop to portion the dough into even balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Freeze them for 10-15 minutes until they’re slightly firm but not completely frozen.
Step Five: Microwave white chocolate in a bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and microwave again for another 30 seconds until smooth. Add food coloring if desired, mixing it in gradually to achieve the perfect shade.
Step Six: Remove the dough balls from the freezer. Roll each one into a smooth ball with your hands. Dip the balls into the melted chocolate.
Step Seven: Ensure that all the balls are fully coated. Place the coated Oreo balls back onto the wax-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle extra sprinkles on top immediately before the chocolate sets.
Step Eight: Let the chocolate harden for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy your colorful and delicious Funfetti Oreo Pops!
Top Tips To Nails These Tasty Pops
- Chill the Dough: After forming the Oreo balls, refrigerate them for at least 20-30 minutes. This step helps them firm up and makes it easier to dip into the coating without falling apart.
- Melt Candy Coating Slowly: Use a microwave or double boiler to melt your pink candy coating slowly. Overheating can cause the coating to seize up, making it difficult to dip the balls.
- Add Sprinkles Quickly: As soon as you dip each Funfetti Oreo ball, sprinkle the Funfetti on top while the coating is still wet. This ensures that the sprinkles stick well and don’t fall off after the coating hardens.
Variations
- Chocolate-Dipped Funfetti Pops: Instead of pink candy coating, dip the balls in melted milk or dark chocolate. The contrast between the chocolate and the colorful Funfetti sprinkles makes for an eye-catching treat.
- Strawberry Funfetti Pops: Add a few drops of strawberry extract to the cream cheese and Oreo mixture to infuse the balls with a delicious strawberry flavor. You can also mix in some freeze-dried strawberry powder for an extra fruity punch.
- White Chocolate Funfetti Pops: Dip the pops in white chocolate instead of pink candy coating for a more classic look. Add a touch of pink food coloring to the white chocolate for a softer, pastel appearance.
What To Serve With Oreo Pops?
- Fresh Fruit: Serve your Funfetti Oreo pops with a platter of fresh berries, like strawberries or raspberries. The tartness of the fruit contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the pops.
- Vanilla Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside Oreo balls creates a delightful mix of textures and flavors, adding a cool, creamy element to the dessert.
