Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 package (about 36 cookies) Vanilla Oreos
  • 170g (6 oz) Dairy-Free Cream Cheese, softened

Coating

  • Dairy-Free White Chocolate (for coating), quantity as needed for dipping

Decorations

  • Candy Scarves (fruit strips, sour belts, or ribbon candy), thin strips for scarves
  • Mini Chocolate Chips or Edible Ink Pens (for eyes and buttons)
  • Orange Sprinkles or Icing (for the carrot nose)

Instructions

  1. Create the “Snow” Dough: Process the entire package of Vanilla Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs form. If no processor is available, place cookies in a zip-top bag, remove air, and crush with a rolling pin until finely ground.
  2. Bring the Dough to Life: Transfer Oreo crumbs to a bowl and add softened dairy-free cream cheese. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or clean hands until a smooth, play-doh like dough that holds together is formed.
  3. Roll, Roll, Roll Your Snowmen: Pinch off dough portions to form two balls per snowman: about 1 tablespoon for the bottom and 2 teaspoons for the head. Roll between palms until smooth.
  4. The All-Important Chill Session: Place all snowman dough balls on parchment-lined baking sheets and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt the “Snow” Coating: Melt dairy-free white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring between until smooth. Optionally add a teaspoon of coconut oil if needed to thin chocolate for dipping.
  6. The Great Dip & Stack: Dip the larger bottom ball fully into melted chocolate and place on new parchment. Immediately dip the smaller head ball and stack it on top while chocolate is still tacky. Use toothpicks if needed to stabilize.
  7. Accessorize Your Snow Pals: Before chocolate sets, wrap a strip of candy for a scarf, press mini chocolate chips for eyes and buttons, and add an orange sprinkle or icing for the nose to each snowman.
  8. Let Them Set: Allow the assembled snowmen to sit at room temperature or in the fridge for 30-60 minutes until the coating is firm.
  9. The Optional Flat-Base Trick: For stability, briefly press the base of snowmen on a warm pan to create a flat spot so they stand upright easily.

Notes

  • Softening the cream cheese at room temperature ensures smooth mixing without lumps.
  • If dough feels sticky, refrigerate for 15 minutes; if dry and cracking, add a splash of non-dairy milk.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate or melting wafers for best coating texture and flavor.
  • Edible ink pens provide more precise facial features than chocolate chips, especially for kids.
  • Room temperature or fridge setting can be used depending on kitchen temperature for chocolate firming.
  • The flat-base trick prevents snowmen from tipping over, making display easier.
