Ingredients
Method
1. Make the Oreo Mixture
Place the cookies into a food processor and pulse until you have fine, even crumbs. Avoid large chunks—they can make shaping tricky. Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl and stir in the softened cream cheese until the mixture looks uniform and holds together easily.
2. Shape and Chill
Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of the mixture and gently mold it into an egg shape using your hands. Set the shaped eggs on a lined tray and refrigerate for about 60 minutes, or until firm.
3. Dip the Eggs
Melt the white coating according to package directions. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled egg into the coating, letting the excess drip off. Place coated eggs on parchment paper. If using a toothpick, twist it gently as you remove it and dab a little melted coating over the hole to smooth it out.
4. Decorate
Melt additional coating in small batches and tint each one with gel coloring. Drizzle, pipe, or zigzag the colors over the set eggs. Let decorations harden completely before serving or storing.
Notes
Variation Ideas
- Different cookie flavors: Any Oreo-style cookie works. Dark cookies look great with milk or dark chocolate coating.
- Sprinkle shortcut: Skip colored drizzles and add sprinkles right after dipping—fast, festive, and kid-friendly.
Helpful Tips
- Chilling is key: Cold eggs dip cleaner and hold their shape better.
- Use gel colors only: Liquid food coloring can cause chocolate to seize.
- Work in batches: Keep unused eggs chilled while dipping.
