Oreo Truffles
Description
Oreo Truffles start by pulverizing Oreo cookies into fine crumbs, which are then blended with softened cream cheese and vanilla extract to form a smooth, cohesive mixture. After shaping into balls and chilling, the truffles are dipped in melted dark or white chocolate, providing a glossy coating that hardens to a firm shell. Sprinkling reserved cookie crumbs on the warm chocolate adds a finishing texture reminiscent of the original cookie.
The combination delivers a dense, creamy treat with a crisp chocolate exterior and the familiar, slightly bitter chocolate cookie flavor balanced by the mild cream cheese. Making them requires chilling to maintain shape during coating, and the two kinds of chocolate offer variety to suit different tastes.
Serve these truffles as bite-sized desserts suitable for gatherings or as a special homemade gift. They can be kept refrigerated to preserve texture and flavor.
A recommended technique for coating involves using the edge of a butter knife to hold each truffle while ladling chocolate over it, then sliding the truffle back onto wax paper to dry evenly.
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
- 1 cup white chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Place Oreo cookies in a food processor. Pulse until they have been pulverized into fine crumbs. Set aside.
- In a stand mixer (or in a large bowl using an electric mixer), beat cream cheese until it is smooth.
- Reserve 2 tablespoons of your cookie crumbs and add the remaining crumbs in with the cream cheese. Add vanilla extract and stir all ingredients until well-combined.
- Scoop Oreo mixture by 1 ½ tablespoon and drop onto wax paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Place in freezer and chill for 15 minutes.
- Place your dark chocolate melting wafers in one small bowl and your white chocolate in another. Prepare according to instructions on packaging, heating until melted.
- Retrieve your Oreo balls from the freezer and dip truffles in chocolate, dipping half of the truffles in dark chocolate and half in the white chocolate.* Immediately after dipping each truffle, sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
- Allow chocolate to harden before serving truffles. Keep stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Use the blade of a butter knife to hold each truffle while covering with chocolate, then slide it back onto the wax paper to avoid mess.
