Oreo Truffles
Description
This recipe uses Oreo cookies crushed into fine crumbs combined with softened cream cheese, creating a sticky dough with a sweet, slightly tangy flavor and a soft yet crumbly texture. Rolling the mixture into balls and freezing them firms the truffles for easier dipping.
The truffles are dipped in melted semisweet chocolate, which hardens to form a glossy, firm shell. After setting in the refrigerator, the truffles can be decorated by drizzling melted white chocolate on top, adding contrast and a touch of sweetness.
Oreo Truffles are convenient desserts that do not require baking, making them suitable for quick preparation and entertaining. They can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks or frozen for longer periods, making them practical for make-ahead occasions or gifting.
The notes include helpful tips on preventing chocolate from seizing by avoiding moisture and melting chocolate slowly, and suggestions for decorating with oil-based coloring or sprinkles. Using melting chocolate or baker's bars ensures a smooth coating. Proper storage and handling maintain texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies any flavor. Double stuffed or regular both work
- 8 oz. cream cheese softened
- 12 oz. semisweet chocolate
- 6 oz. white melting chocolate for topping
Instructions
Make the Balls:
- Place the Oreos in a food processor and blend until fine crumbs are formed.
- Add the cream cheese and blend to form a sticky dough.
- Roll into 1-inch balls and set aside on a plate. Freeze for 30 minutes or more.
Dip in Chocolate
- Place the semisweet melting chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and melt according to package instructions.
- Cover a baking sheet with wax paper. Remove Oreo balls from the freezer. Drop them into the chocolate, one at a time, and use a spoon to drizzle it with chocolate.
- Lift the truffle out of the chocolate with a fork and slide the bottom of the fork along the top of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off, then set it on top of the wax paper.
- Once you've dipped them all, refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to set.
Decorate the Top:
- Place the white chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl and melt according to package instructions.
- Dip a fork into the melted chocolate and drizzle it over the Oreo balls.
- Place back in the refrigerator until set, about 10 minutes. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until ready to serve.
Notes
- Prevent moisture contact with melted chocolate to avoid seizing; use dry utensils and avoid steam.
- Melt chocolate gently and slowly according to package instructions for a smooth finish.
- Use melting chocolate or baker's bars rather than chips for better coating texture.
- Oil-based food coloring can be added to white chocolate for coloring without seizing.
- Decorate tops with sprinkles or crushed cookies immediately after dipping for best adhesion.
- Store truffles refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months for longer preservation.
