Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies (crushed into crumbs)
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340g) chocolate melts or chocolate chips (for coating)
Optional Ingredients
- Sprinkles or decorations for garnish
- Crushed nuts (for rolling)
- Freeze-dried raspberries or raspberry jam (for mix-ins)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place your Oreo cookies in a food processor or a zip-top bag and crush them finely until they resemble coarse crumbs. This helps the crumbs combine smoothly with the cream cheese.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreos. Stir or use your hands to mix until you have a uniform dough-like mixture that’s easy to roll but not sticky.
- Shape into Balls: Using a spoon or your hands, scoop out small amounts and roll into 1-inch balls. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes so they firm up before dipping, which helps the chocolate coating stick better.
- Melt the Chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate melts or chips in a microwave-safe bowl in short intervals, stirring frequently until smooth and glossy.
- Dip and Decorate: Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring full coating. Place back on parchment paper, adding sprinkles or other decorations while the chocolate is still wet.
- Set and Serve: Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate hardens, then enjoy.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
- Mix just until combined; avoid overmixing to keep the right texture.
- Chill the truffles thoroughly before dipping for best results.
- Thin melted chocolate with a tiny bit of coconut oil or shortening for a smoother coating.
- Use a fork or dipping tool to coat evenly and remove excess chocolate.
