Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a mixing bowl, blend 1 cup of softened cream cheese, 1.5 cups of crushed Oreo cookie crumbs, 0.5 cup of protein powder, 0.25 cup of milk, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract using a hand mixer or a wooden spoon. Mix for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
  2. If the mixture appears too dry and crumbly, gradually add more milk, one tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition until the mixture reaches a pliable and non-sticky texture.
  3. Using your hands, scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls. Place the rolled balls on a clean, dry surface or directly onto a baking sheet.
  4. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Carefully transfer the rolled balls onto the lined sheet, ensuring there’s sufficient space between each.
  5. Refrigerate the baking sheet with the protein balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Once chilled, the Cream Cheese Oreo Protein Balls are ready to be enjoyed! Serve immediately or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
