FAQs
Can I use store-brand cookies instead of Oreos?
Yes, any chocolate sandwich cookie with a cream filling will work similarly.
Do I have to chill them before serving?
Yes, chilling helps the bites firm up and hold their shape.
Can I freeze these?
Absolutely. They freeze well and can be enjoyed as a frozen treat or thawed slightly before eating.
Is whipped topping necessary?
You can use either store-bought whipped topping or freshly whipped cream; both work great for the texture.
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes, these are perfect make-ahead treats and store well in the fridge or freezer.
How can I make them sweeter or less sweet?
Adjust the amount of powdered sugar based on your sweetness preference.
Can I use reduced-fat cream cheese?
Yes, but full-fat cream cheese gives the creamiest texture and best flavor.
Are these gluten-free?
Only if you use gluten-free sandwich cookies. Standard Oreos contain gluten.
What size should I make them?
Aim for 1 to 1.5-inch balls for easy bite-sized portions.
