Recipe Summary
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 0 minutes
Total Time: 1 hour (including chilling time)
Servings: 24 truffles
Skill Level: Beginner
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies (approx. 3 cups crushed)
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340g) semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 2 oz (60g) white chocolate, melted (for drizzling)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Alternatively, place them in a large resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well blended and a dough forms.
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1-inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second increments and stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle and let the excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Once all truffles are coated, melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the truffles for a decorative touch.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely before serving. Enjoy!
Helpful Tips
- If you find the mixture too sticky to shape, refrigerate it for 10-15 minutes before forming the balls.
- For a different twist, try adding a small amount of mint extract to the cream cheese mixture for mint Oreo truffles.
- If you prefer, you can substitute semi-sweet chocolate with milk or dark chocolate, depending on your taste.
Storage Instructions
Store your Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months; simply allow them to thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Pairings
Oreo truffles pair wonderfully with a cup of strong coffee or a glass of cold milk. For a festive gathering, serve them alongside a selection of fresh fruit and a cup of rich, hot cocoa.
