We’re big fans of Oreo ball truffles in our home, making them for every occasion, and they’re always a hit at parties. The kids enjoy making them and brainstorming new seasonal ideas.
This fall, we’ve created Oreo HalloThankMas Pumpkin Cake using only 5 ingredients! This easy recipe features a pumpkin-shaped cake, dipped in melted orange chocolate. A small pretzel stick serves as the stem, and a green leaf adds the finishing touch.
If you can’t find green leaf icing decorations, you can also use green M&M candies or green icing as a substitute.
Ingredients for the Oreo Pumpkin
- OREO Cookies: Use regular or gluten-free, not double stuffed.
- Cream Cheese: Make sure it’s softened to room temperature.
- Orange Melting Wafers: For coating the Oreo balls.
- Pretzel Sticks: To create the pumpkin stems.
- Green Candy or Leaf Icing Decoration: For adding the final touch.
How to make OREO Pumpkin
Step 1: To make Oreo pumpkin treats, start by crushing the cookies into fine crumbs.
Step 2: Mix the crumbs with softened cream cheese until well combined.
Step 3: Roll the mixture into balls, using a small cookie scoop to ensure uniform size.
Step 4: Chill the balls in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes.
Step 5: Then, use a toothpick to score the balls and shape them like pumpkins.
Step 6: Dip the shaped treats into melted orange chocolate wafers.
Step 7: Finally, add a small piece of pretzel stick for the stem and a green leaf icing decoration to complete the look.
How should Oreo pumpkins be stored?
It’s best to keep them chilled until you’re ready to serve. The cream cheese in the mixture can soften and affect the texture if left out. The ideal texture is when the chocolate shell is firm and the Oreo pumpkin is cool. I recommend storing them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to enjoy and not leaving them out for more than an hour.
