Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (about 14 cookies): The classic chocolate crunch provides a perfect contrast to the creamy pumpkin filling.
- 1 cup canned pumpkin puree: This adds the essential pumpkin flavor and moisture. Be sure to use pure pumpkin, not pumpkin pie filling.
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened: This adds a rich creaminess that binds the filling together and enhances the overall flavor.
- ½ cup powdered sugar: Sweetens the filling and gives it that dessert-like quality.
- 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice: A warm blend of cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger that captures the essence of fall.
- 8 oz white chocolate chips or candy melts: For coating the pops; they add sweetness and a lovely creamy texture.
- Popsicle sticks: To turn these treats into pops!
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Start by placing the Oreos in a food processor. Pulse them until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can put the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. It’s a great way to release some stress!
- Make the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos, canned pumpkin puree, softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and pumpkin pie spice. Use a spatula or your hands to mix everything until fully combined. It should be a thick, moldable mixture.
- Form the Pops: Take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls about the size of a golf ball. Once shaped, insert a popsicle stick into each ball, pressing it in gently but firmly to ensure it holds.
- Chill the Pops: Place the pops on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This helps them firm up so they’re easier to dip in chocolate.
- Melt the Chocolate: While the pops are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. If you want, you can add a splash of vegetable oil to make the chocolate thinner for easier dipping.
- Dip the Pops: Remove the pops from the refrigerator. One at a time, dip each pop into the melted chocolate, making sure it’s fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off.
- Add Toppings: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your favorite toppings—like crushed Oreos, colorful sprinkles, or chopped nuts—over the chocolate. Get creative and make them look festive!
- Let Them Set: Place the coated pops back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Once all the pops are dipped and decorated, return them to the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate has set, your Pumpkin Oreo Pops are ready to serve! Enjoy them chilled or at room temperature. They’re perfect for sharing, but you might just want to keep them all to yourself!
