Strawberry Shortcake Truffles (With Golden Oreos)
Description
This recipe starts by finely crushing Golden Oreos into a crumbly base, which is then combined with softened cream cheese—often strawberry flavored—to yield a moist, moldable dough. Diced fresh strawberries are folded in after being patted dry, adding freshness and texture. The dough is shaped into individual truffle-sized balls and frozen briefly to firm up before dipping.
The coating involves melting white chocolate chips with coconut oil, creating a silky shell that hardens with a subtle snap. The coconut oil helps the chocolate set smoothly and prevents it from becoming too thick or dull. Additional decoration is optional, using pink candy melts and sprinkles to enhance the presentation.
These truffles serve as a handheld treat suitable for dessert tables or holiday sharing. The combination of cookie crumb and cream cheese centers with the creamy white chocolate exterior creates balanced sweetness and texture contrasts. No baking is required, making this recipe approachable for many home cooks.
For those without a food processor, a rolling pin can crush the cookies inside a sealed bag, and mixing by hand is possible if cream cheese is softened well. Using coconut oil in the coating ensures an appealing glossy finish, but vegetable shortening and other oils can be substituted if preferred.
Ingredients
- 36 golden Oreos 14.3 ounce package
- 7.5 ounces cream cheese softened, you can use 7.5 to 8 ounces strawberry cream cheese, strawberry flavored
- 1/2 cup strawberries diced small, about 4-5 medium sized strawberries
- 11-12 ounces white chocolate chips 1 1/2 cups
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 1 cup pink candy melts optional decoration
- spinkles optional decoration
Instructions
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place cookies in food processor and mix until cookies turn into fine crumbs. See notes if you don't have a food processor.
- Add strawberry cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a silicone spatula until a dough forms. Do not mix the mixture in the food processor as the cream cheese mixture can become too liquidy.
- Dice the strawberries then dry them well with a paper towel. Fold the strawberry pieces into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula.
- Roll the strawberry doughballs, about one tablespoon per truffle. I like to use this cookie scoop set, for this recipe you'll need the small cookie scoop. Place each truffle on the parchment paper lined baking sheet so they are not touching. Freeze the truffles for at least 15 minutes.
- Add the white chocolate and coconut oil (optional) to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the white chocolate in thirty second increments until it forms a smooth white chocolate sauce.
- Remove truffles from the freezer. Place truffle balls into white chocolate one at a time to coat, using a fork so excess chocolate can drip off. Place each white chocolate-coated ball on parchment paper so they are not touching each other.
- Melt the pink candy melts in the microwave for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the pink candy melts in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth pink chocolate sauce
- Drizzle the top of each truffle with the pink chocolate candy melts, then top with sprinkles immediately if desired. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to help the chocolate to fully harden, then enjoy!
Notes
- If you lack a food processor, crush cookies by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling with a pin or canned good.
- Mix cookie crumbs and cream cheese by hand if needed; ensure the cream cheese is well softened for best results.
- Add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the white chocolate coating to achieve a smooth, glossy finish.
- Optional decorations like pink candy melts and sprinkles can be used for extra visual appeal.
