Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz chocolate, melted
- Optional toppings: crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or nuts
Instructions
- Place entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until fine, uniform crumbs form. If no food processor is available, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- Transfer cookie crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or spatula until a smooth, consistent dough forms. The mixture should hold together when pressed.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the Oreo mixture into uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the formed truffles in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up, which will make dipping easier and help maintain their shape.
- Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave. If using microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval to prevent burning.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully lower each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Tap fork gently to remove excess chocolate.
- Place chocolate-coated truffles back on parchment paper. Before chocolate sets, sprinkle with optional toppings like crushed Oreos, colorful sprinkles, or chopped nuts.
- Refrigerate truffles for 30 minutes or until chocolate coating is completely set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
