Ingredients
- 1 package golden Oreos regular size, not family pack
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2/3 cup strawberry shortcake crumbs click on link for recipe
Coating:
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
- 1/2 cup Candy Melts red
- 1/3 cup strawberry shortcake crumbs
Instructions
- First, add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until the mixture turns into very fine crumbs.
- After that, add the cream cheese and pulse until very well combined.
- Transfer the mixture to a bowl, and stir in 2/3 cup of the Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs and lemon zest. Cover the batter and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or better one hour.
- Once the mixture has been chilled, remove it from the fridge, and use a 1 tablespoon or 2 tablespoons scoop, to portion the truffles and roll them into smooth balls.
- Arrange the truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or cutting board and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- Add the white chocolate chips and 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium heat for 30 seconds. Stir well using a rubber spatula and microwave again for 30 seconds and stir well. The residual heat should melt the remaining chocolate, if needed repeat again and stir until melted and smooth.
- Using two forks or insert a toothpick into a truffle, dip the truffle into the bowl with melted white chocolate and gently coat it evenly. Carefully lift the truffle, let the excess chocolate drip and transfer the truffle to a baking sheet covered with waxed paper, by lightly using it with a second toothpick (if not using forks).
- Chill the coated truffles in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- Place the red candy melts and remaining to shorten into a bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir and see if you need to microwave again. Transfer the melted red candy melts to a resealable sandwich bag.
- Cut a small tip from the lower corner and drizzle the chocolate over the truffles. Immediately sprinkle Strawberry Shortcake Crumbs on top of the truffles.
- Chill the truffles for one more hour and serve.
