Jump to RecipeStart by crushing the Oreo cookies in a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs. In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese until well combined.
Next, form the mixture into egg-shaped balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to allow the eggs to firm up.
In the meantime, make the filling by mixing together the butter, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Take the Oreo eggs out of the freezer and use a spoon or a piping bag to add the filling to the center of each egg shape. Place the eggs back in the freezer for an additional 15 minutes.
While the eggs are in the freezer, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or using a double boiler. Once melted, add in a few drops of food coloring to achieve your desired Easter colors. Dip each Oreo egg into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat it evenly. Place the coated eggs back on the baking sheet and decorate with sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
Allow the chocolate to harden before serving or storing the Oreo Easter eggs in the fridge. These sweet treats are sure to be a hit at any Easter gathering, and with endless possibilities for customization, you can make them your own unique creation. So go ahead and give this recipe a try and bring some Easter cheer to your kitchen!
