Ingredients You’ll Need
- Oreos: 36 regular chocolate sandwich cookies, about 14.3 ounces. Use classic, not double-stuf, for the best texture. If you only have double-stuf, reduce cream cheese slightly.
- Cream cheese: 4 ounces full-fat brick style, softened. Avoid whipped or tub versions, which feel too soft.
- Coating chocolate: 12 ounces candy melts or chopped baking chocolate. Use white, milk, or dark. If you use baking chocolate and it feels thick, stir in 1 teaspoon neutral oil to thin.
Optional but fun
- Sprinkles, crushed Oreo crumbs, or a drizzle of contrasting melted chocolate
Equipment
- Food processor or a sturdy zip-top bag with a rolling pin
- Mixing bowl and rubber spatula
- Baking sheet lined with parchment
- 1 tablespoon cookie scoop
- Lollipop sticks, 20 to 24 pieces
- Microwave-safe bowl or double boiler
- Styrofoam block or an inverted egg carton to hold dipped pops
How to Make Easy 3 Ingredient No Bake Oreo Cake Pops Recipe
Crush the cookies
- Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs with no big chunks.
- No processor on hand? Seal cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until sandy.
Mix and roll
- Stir the softened cream cheese into the crumbs until the mixture looks uniform and holds together.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon portions and roll into smooth balls.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Insert sticks and chill
- Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into a little melted chocolate, then push it halfway into a ball. This chocolate glue helps the pop stay put.
- Chill the tray for 20 to 30 minutes until the balls feel firm to the touch.
Melt and dip
- Melt the coating chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth. Or melt gently over a double boiler.
- Work with one pop at a time. Dip straight down, lift, and tap the stick gently while rotating to let excess drip off and smooth the surface.
Set and garnish
- While the coating stays wet, add sprinkles or a pinch of crushed Oreo crumbs.
- Stick each pop into a Styrofoam block or an inverted egg carton to dry without flat spots.
- Let the coating set for 10 to 15 minutes, then serve or store.
Tips & Tricks
- Use room temp cream cheese so the mixture blends fast and smooth.
- Crush the cookies to a fine crumb to avoid gritty pops.
- Keep the balls small; 1 tablespoon portions hold to sticks better than jumbo ones.
- Glue the sticks with a dab of melted chocolate before chilling to prevent sliding.
- Thin thick chocolate with a tiny splash of neutral oil for a glossy dip.
- Tap off excess coating gently to avoid cracks and heavy shells.
- Work in batches and keep extra undipped balls in the fridge so they stay firm.
- Fix cracks by brushing on a little melted chocolate and letting it set.
What to Serve with Easy 3 Ingredient No Bake Oreo Cake Pops Recipe
Serve these pops with cold milk, hot coffee, or a creamy latte for a sweet contrast. Pair them with a fresh fruit platter to balance the richness. Build a dessert board with brownies, rice cereal treats, and these pops as the star. For parties, set a sprinkle station and invite guests to customize toppings.
Make-Ahead and Storage
Chill finished pops in an airtight container for up to 5 days. Freeze for up to 2 months; place them in a single layer to set, then stack with parchment between layers. Thaw in the fridge for a few hours before serving so the coating stays snappy. Skip reheating; these pops taste best chilled or at cool room temperature.

Instructions
- Crush the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor, or place them in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until sandy with no large chunks.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and stir until the mixture looks uniform and holds together when pressed.
- Scoop 1-tablespoon portions of the mixture and roll each portion into a smooth ball. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt a small amount of the coating chocolate. Dip the tip of each lollipop stick into the melted chocolate, then insert it halfway into each Oreo ball to act as glue.
- Chill the tray of cake pops for 20 to 30 minutes, or until the balls feel firm to the touch.
- Melt the remaining coating chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20 to 30 second bursts, stirring between each, until smooth, or melt gently over a double boiler. If the chocolate seems too thick, stir in a small splash of neutral oil to thin.
- Working with one pop at a time, dip each chilled Oreo ball straight down into the melted chocolate, then lift and gently tap the stick while rotating to let excess chocolate drip off and smooth the surface.
- While the coating is still wet, decorate with sprinkles, a pinch of crushed Oreo crumbs, or a drizzle of contrasting melted chocolate if using.
- Place each dipped pop upright in a Styrofoam block or inverted egg carton so they can dry without developing flat spots.
- Let the coating set for 10 to 15 minutes until firm, then serve immediately or chill until ready to enjoy.
