Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies (original not double stuff)
- 8 ounces cream cheese (softened, 1 brick, 250 grams)
Decorating Options
- 1 ½ cups semi sweet chocolate chips (or dark)
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
- 1 ½ cups pink chocolate melting wafers
- Red food coloring
- heart sprinkles
- Sprinkles
Instructions
- Note: the below recipe steps are to make half of the truffles in a heart shape using a small heart cookie cutter, and the remaining truffles are rolled into balls. if you do not have a small heart cookie cutter you can skip the steps with the square baking tray and simply roll the truffles into small balls.
- Line an 8” x 8” or 9” x 9” square baking tray with parchment paper. Cut the paper in a 8” or 9” long strip that slightly overhangs the pan so you can pull it out of the tray.
- Using a food processor or blender, add all of the Oreos in. Pulse until the cookies are finely crushed. Or you can place the cookies in a large Ziploc bag and crush them very finely using a rolling pin, bottom of a frying pan, or kitchen mallet.
- Add the room temperature cream cheese to the food processor or blender. Pulse until evenly combined with the cookies. Or transfer the crushed cookies into a large bowl and stir together with the cream cheese until evenly combined.
- Transfer the truffle mixture into the prepared dish lined with parchment paper. Press the mixture down into a smooth even layer.
- Place in the freezer for about 10 – 15 minutes or until firm.
- Use a very small heart shape cookie cutter to cut the truffle and transfer them to a plate or cutting board lined with a piece of parchment paper.Tip: roll the leftover cut pieces together to make small round truffles.
- Place the cut truffles into the freezer for about 10 – 15 minutes or until firm. This will make it easier to coat them in the melted chocolate.
- While the truffles chill, melt the chocolate you would like to use. Use a shallow microwave safe bowl for each different chocolate. Microwave the chocolate in 15 second internals, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. (Note: once the white chocolate is melted you can add a few drops of red food coloring to your preferred color).
- Remove the truffles from the freezer. One at a time place a truffle on a fork or on the end of a toothpick. Dip the truffles in the chocolate and allow the excess chocolate to drip off back into the bowl. Tap the fork or toothpick on the edge of the bowl to shake off the excess chocolate.
- Carefully transfer the dipped truffles to the piece of parchment paper on the plate or cutting board. Immediately add sprinkles on top or use a fork to drizzle a different color chocolate over the truffles to decorate.
- Repeat to decorate all truffles.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the chocolate to set before serving. Serve and enjoy! Note: the prepared truffles need to be refrigerated, they cannot be left at room temperature overnight.
