Ingredients
Truffle Base
- 14.3 oz Oreo cookies (approx. 36 cookies)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate melting wafers
- 2 extra Oreo cookies, crushed (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place the whole Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they reach a uniform, sandy texture without any large chunks, ensuring a fine crumb base for the truffles.
- Combine with cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the processed Oreo crumbs and pulse several times until the mixture forms a cohesive, dark dough that pulls away from the sides of the bowl.
- Shape the truffles: Use a small 1-tablespoon scoop to portion the mixture into uniform mounds, then roll each portion between your palms until smooth and perfectly spherical.
- Freeze the truffles: Arrange the shaped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to firm them up and make dipping easier.
- Melt the chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring well in between until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the truffles: Using a fork, submerge each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, let excess chocolate drip off, then place back on the baking sheet to set and harden.
- Garnish and serve: Optionally, sprinkle crushed Oreo pieces on top for added texture and visual appeal once the chocolate has slightly set. Allow the truffles to fully harden before serving.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easy mixing and smooth texture.
- Freezing the truffles before dipping prevents them from falling apart in the chocolate.
- You can use white or dark chocolate as an alternative coating for variety.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Handling the truffles with clean, dry hands helps maintain their smooth shape.
