Rich no-bake snack with cream cheese, Oreos, and protein. Ready in minutes.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Base

01 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened
02 - 1 cup Oreo cookies, crushed (about 10 cookies)
03 - 1 cup vanilla or chocolate protein powder
04 - 2 tbsp milk (dairy or plant-based)
05 - 2 tbsp powdered sugar

→ Coating

06 - 1/2 cup Oreo cookie crumbs
07 - 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips or melted chocolate for drizzling (optional)

# How-To Guide:

01 - Beat the softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl until completely smooth and creamy.
02 - Add the crushed Oreos, protein powder, milk, and powdered sugar to the bowl. Mix thoroughly until a thick, uniform dough forms.
03 - If the mixture is too sticky to handle, incorporate an extra spoonful of protein powder. If too dry and crumbly, add a small splash of milk.
04 - Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions and roll between your palms to form smooth, even balls.
05 - Roll each ball in the extra Oreo crumbs until evenly coated on all sides.
06 - Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until firm.
07 - Drizzle with melted chocolate or sprinkle with mini chocolate chips immediately before serving, if desired.
