Lemon Oreo Truffles
Dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with lemon zest, Lemon Oreo Truffles are perfect for spring and Easter. With only three ingredients, they’re an easy and fun dessert.
Have you tried Lemon Oreos? They’re so good! If you’re a lemon fan, they are must try. My favorite way to eat Oreos is actually when I make them into Oreo Truffles. While I love chocolate, the lemon version is especially fun this time of year. Dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled with lemon zest, they’re a wonderful addition to your spring and Easter menu and table. And best of all, they look fancy, but are so easy to make!

With spring and Easter just right around the corner, I’ve been ready to make some of my favorite recipes for this time of year. I can’t wait to make Cadbury Rice Krispie Treats, Easy Easter Bunny Cookies, and Lemon Lush Dessert! But these Lemon Oreo Truffles are another must make at our house. I love so many things about them, but they’re super easy (just a few ingredients), require no baking time, and look so fancy.
These are perfect for all spring menus, parties, and gatherings, including Easter. Wrap them up in cute packaging and give to friends and neighbors–who wouldn’t love to find these on their porch?
Table of contents
Ingredients
- Lemon Oreos (not double stuff)
- Cream cheese
- White chocolate chips
- Lemon
Equipment
- Glass bowl
- Wax paper
- Cookie sheet (my favorite half sheet pan is what I use!)
- Two forks or a Wilton Dipping Scoop
How to make
Combine the cream cheese and crushed Oreos, then roll into balls and place onto a cookie sheet lined with wax paper. Freeze for 10 minutes.
Tip: I highly recommend using the regular filled Oreos, not double stuff. If you have too much filling, it doesn’t work quite as well.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwaveable glass bowl for 30 seconds, then stir. Continue in 10 second intervals, stirring each time, until the chocolate can be stirred smooth.
Dip the oreo balls into the chocolate using two forks, shaking off the excess chocolate. Lay them back on the wax paper, and immediately sprinkle with lemon zest. Let stand until firm.
Tip: To dip the oreos in chocolate, using two forks works really well, or I love this Wilton Dipping Scoop!
FAQ
Yes! Any Oreos or sandwich cookies will work in this recipe.
Absolutely. Just use gluten-free Oreos. As of now they don’t have a lemon version, but the chocolate and mint chocolate are really good.
