Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries

Alright, these Oreo truffle stuffed strawberries? They’re sweet, creamy, and totally over-the-top in the best way. Juicy strawberries filled with rich Oreo truffle, then dipped in chocolate—yeah, they’re as good as they sound.

I made them for a party once, and they vanished fast. Crushed some Oreos, mixed with cream cheese, stuffed them into hollowed-out strawberries, and gave them a quick chocolate dip. They looked fancy but were actually super easy to make.

They’re bite-sized, no-bake, and totally addictive. Perfect for date night, holidays, or just treating yourself. Let’s make a batch—you’ll want to keep a few hidden just for you.

What You Need to Know Before You Start

Time Required

• Prep Time: About 30 minutes, including stuffing and dipping.
• Chill Time: 15 to 20 minutes in the fridge or 10 minutes in the freezer to help the chocolate set properly.
• Total Time: Plan for roughly 50 minutes from start to finish.

Servings

This recipe makes around 24 truffle-stuffed strawberries, depending on the size of the berries and how much filling you use per strawberry. It’s enough to serve about 6–8 people at a party, especially when included on a dessert platter with other items.

Difficulty Level

Beginner Friendly. You don’t need any baking skills or advanced equipment to pull this off. The hardest part is coring the strawberries neatly, which gets easier after the first few. Everything else—from mixing the filling to dipping in chocolate—is easy to learn and forgiving if not perfect.

Required Kitchen Tools

To keep things clean and efficient, it helps to gather the following tools before you start:

• Paring Knife or Strawberry Huller: To remove the stem and hollow out each berry. A small spoon can also work.
• Food Processor or Zip-Top Bag + Rolling Pin: To crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. The food processor is faster, but either method works.
• Mixing Bowl and Spatula: To blend the crushed cookies with the cream cheese into a smooth truffle filling.
• Microwave-Safe Bowl: For melting the chocolate candy melts or chips. If you prefer, use a double boiler on the stove.
• Spoon, Piping Bag, or Small Offset Spatula: To fill the hollowed-out strawberries. A piping bag gives the neatest result, but a spoon works just fine.
• Parchment Paper and Baking Sheet: To hold the dipped strawberries as they cool and set.
• Toothpicks or Fork (Optional): These can help with dipping the strawberries cleanly into the melted chocolate.

Ingredients for Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries

You only need a handful of ingredients, and most are pantry staples or easy to find at any grocery store. For best results, use fresh strawberries that are firm and not overly ripe—this will help them hold their shape once filled and dipped.

Here’s what you’ll need (exact amounts are listed in the recipe card below):

• Fresh Strawberries: Choose large strawberries with a solid shape. You’ll be hollowing them out and stuffing them, so avoid any that are too small or mushy. Look for berries with a flat bottom that can stand upright on a tray.
• Double Stuf Oreo Cookies: These blend into a soft, sweet filling with the perfect ratio of chocolate cookie to creamy center. If you only have regular Oreos, that works too—but Double Stuf helps the texture hold better without adding extra sugar.
• Cream Cheese (Room Temperature): Use full-fat brick-style cream cheese, not the spreadable kind in tubs. Softening it first ensures a smooth, creamy mixture when combined with the cookie crumbs.
• Chocolate Candy Melts or Chocolate Chips: This is for dipping. You can use dark, milk, or white chocolate depending on your preference. Candy melts are easier to work with and less likely to seize, especially if you’re new to chocolate dipping.
• Optional Garnishes: Chocolate sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of contrasting chocolate can add texture and visual interest. These are completely optional but can elevate the presentation.

Variations for Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries

These stuffed strawberries are easy to customize depending on the occasion or your preferences. Try one of these simple tweaks:

• Use Flavored Oreos: Mint, peanut butter, birthday cake, or golden Oreos can create fun new flavor combos.
• Change the Chocolate Coating: Use white chocolate for a sweeter, creamier outer layer, or dark chocolate for a more grown-up dessert. You can even use candy melts in pastel or seasonal colors.
• Garnish Creatively: Sprinkle with crushed nuts, mini chocolate chips, desiccated coconut, or a pinch of flaky sea salt for contrast.
• Make It Dairy-Free: Use vegan cream cheese and dairy-free chocolate chips to suit dietary needs.
• Add a Crunchy Base: Dip only the bottom of the strawberry in chocolate and let it harden to create a firm “cap” that adds texture.

How to Make Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prep the Strawberries

• Rinse and Dry Thoroughly: Start by washing the strawberries under cold water. Pat them completely dry using paper towels. Any leftover moisture will prevent the chocolate from sticking properly later.
• Remove the Stems and Core the Centers: Using a paring knife or strawberry huller, carefully cut out the green tops. Then gently scoop out the white center of each strawberry, creating a small cavity for the filling. Work slowly to avoid tearing the berry.

2. Make the Oreo Truffle Filling

• Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, pulse the cookies (cream and all) into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground.
• Blend with Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Use a spoon or spatula to mix until it forms a thick, paste-like filling. It should be smooth and easy to scoop, not runny.

3. Fill the Strawberries

• Spoon or Pipe the Filling: Using a spoon or a piping bag, fill each hollowed strawberry with about 1 teaspoon of the Oreo truffle mixture. You can slightly mound it above the top, or smooth it flat for a neater look.
• Optional Chill: If the filling feels soft, refrigerate the stuffed strawberries for 10–15 minutes before dipping. This helps them hold their shape better in the chocolate.

4. Dip in Melted Chocolate

• Melt the Chocolate: Place chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
• Dip Each Strawberry: Hold each stuffed strawberry by the base and dip into the melted chocolate, coating either halfway or fully depending on your preference. Let excess chocolate drip off.
• Set on Parchment: Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. If using toppings like sprinkles or crushed Oreos, add them now while the chocolate is still wet.

5. Chill and Serve

• Refrigerate to Set: Place the tray in the fridge for at least 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
• Serve Cold or Slightly Chilled: These taste best when served slightly cool but not straight from the freezer. If storing overnight, keep them in a sealed container in the fridge.

How to Serve Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries

These strawberries are perfect for casual snacking or as a show-stopping addition to a dessert tray. Here are some ideas for presentation:

• On a Platter: Arrange on a white or glass serving plate for contrast. Add mint leaves or edible flowers for a decorative touch.
• As Part of a Dessert Board: Pair with chocolate bark, fruit, cookies, and other mini desserts.
• In Cupcake Liners: For easy pick-up at parties, place each strawberry in a mini cupcake liner.
• As a Gift: Nestle in a gift box lined with parchment and tie with a ribbon for a homemade treat.

Storing Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries

These treats are best eaten the day they’re made, but you can store them for later if needed:

• Refrigerator: Place the dipped and set strawberries in an airtight container lined with parchment paper. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days. Avoid stacking them to prevent smudging the chocolate coating.
• Freezer (Short-Term): You can freeze them for up to 1 week. Freeze on a tray first, then transfer to a sealed container. Thaw in the refrigerator—note that texture may soften slightly due to moisture.
• Do Not Leave at Room Temperature: Because of the cream cheese filling, they should not sit out for more than 2 hours.

Tips and Tricks for Success

• Dry the Strawberries Thoroughly: Water can cause the chocolate to seize or slide off the surface.
• Use Room Temperature Cream Cheese: Cold cream cheese will clump instead of blending smoothly with the cookie crumbs.
• Work Quickly When Dipping: Chocolate sets fast once it touches the cool filling, so have toppings ready to go.
• Use a Piping Bag for Neater Filling: It helps keep the strawberries clean and gives a more polished finish.
• Chill Before Serving: Cold strawberries with a firm chocolate shell offer the best texture and flavor contrast.

Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries FAQs

Can I make these in advance?
Yes. For best texture, make them the same day. You can prepare the filling and core the strawberries a few hours early, then dip just before serving.

Can I skip the chocolate coating?
You can, but the chocolate adds flavor and keeps the filling in place. If skipping, serve them soon after filling to prevent softening.

How do I avoid watery strawberries?
Start with firm, dry strawberries and don’t wash them too far ahead. Water can affect both the filling and the chocolate.

Can I use a different filling?
Yes. Try Nutella, peanut butter cream, or mascarpone mixed with crushed cookies.

Are these gluten-free?
Not by default, since regular Oreos contain gluten. Use certified gluten-free cookies if needed.
