Main Ingredients
- 24 Oreo Cookies (about 1 package)
- 8 oz (225 g) Cream Cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340 g) Chocolate for Coating (milk, dark, or white)
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles
- Chopped Nuts (e.g., pecans or almonds)
- Crushed Oreos
- Crushed Candy Canes (for mint variation)
- Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies into a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin or pulse in a food processor until they become fine crumbs with no large chunks.
- Combine with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, thoroughly stir the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until the mixture is uniform, sticky, and able to hold shape without crumbling.
- Shape into Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter bite-sized balls. Lay them on a parchment-lined tray or baking sheet.
- Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the tray for at least 30 minutes to firm up the truffles for easier coating.
- Dip in Melted Chocolate: Melt your chosen chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, stirring until smooth. Dip each chilled ball fully in the chocolate, then place back on parchment paper.
- Add Toppings and Set: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle optional nuts, crushed Oreos, or sprinkles on top. Chill again for about 15 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- Use room temperature cream cheese for a smooth, easy blend.
- Chill truffle balls before dipping to prevent them from breaking apart in chocolate.
- Temper the chocolate properly for a glossy finish and firm snap.
- Experiment with flavor additions like espresso powder or vanilla extract.
- Store truffles in the fridge to maintain texture and freshness.
