Let’s explore what makes this treat a must-have on your dairy-free dessert list.

What are Vegan Oreo Truffles?

If you’ve ever wondered “Are Oreos vegan?”, you’re not alone. Surprisingly to many, classic Oreos do not contain animal-derived ingredients and are considered accidentally vegan in most regions.

That said, while they do not include dairy or eggs, they are manufactured in facilities that handle milk. So, those with strict allergies may want to use certified vegan sandwich cookies.

Still, for most plant-based eaters, Oreos are perfectly fine and make the ideal base for vegan truffles thanks to their rich cocoa flavor and creamy center.

Ingredients for Vegan Oreo Truffles (Only 3 Needed!)

You don’t need a long list of specialty items to make this decadent dessert. Just a few pantry staples will get the job done:

• 36 Oreo cookies (or any vegan chocolate sandwich cookies)
• 8 oz vegan cream cheese, softened (like Tofutti or Kite Hill)
• 10 oz dairy-free dark chocolate or vegan chocolate chips, melted

Optional toppings:

• Crushed Oreos
• Vegan white chocolate drizzle
• Sprinkles for holidays

How to Make Vegan Oreo Truffles Step-by-Step
