Prep Time: 15 mins
Cook Time: -
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz white chocolate, melted
- Additional crushed Oreos for coating
Instructions
- Place entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine, uniform crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the finely crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and well-integrated.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the Oreo-cream cheese mixture into uniform balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet with Oreo balls into the refrigerator and chill for 15-20 minutes to help them firm up, which will make dipping easier.
- Melt white 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 Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Gently tap off excess chocolate.
- Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle additional crushed Oreos over the truffles for decoration and added texture.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate coating is completely set.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for best texture.
Tips
- Crushing Cookies: For the finest crumbs, using a food processor is ideal, but if you don’t have one, a sealed plastic bag and a rolling pin work just as well. Just make sure to crush them thoroughly for a smooth truffle texture.
- Chilling is Key: Don’t skip the chilling step! Allowing the truffles to chill for 15-20 minutes helps them firm up, making them easier to dip in chocolate without losing their shape.
- Melting Chocolate: When melting white chocolate, do it slowly in a double boiler or microwave. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals and stir in between to avoid burning the chocolate.
- Dipping Technique: Use a fork or a dipping tool to coat the truffles evenly in white chocolate. Gently tap off any excess chocolate before placing them on the baking sheet.
- Decorative Touch: For an extra touch of flair, sprinkle additional crushed Oreos on top of the truffles right after dipping, before the chocolate sets.
- Storage Tips: Store your truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Let them sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.
