Cuisine: American
Serves: 20 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until the cookies are completely crushed into fine crumbs.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and crushed Oreo crumbs. Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or spatula until the mixture is completely combined and forms a smooth, consistent dough.
- Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to prepare for chilling the truffles.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the Oreo-cream cheese mixture into small, uniform balls approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place each truffle ball on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet with truffle balls into the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up and make them easier to dip in chocolate.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Remove the truffle balls from the freezer. Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully coat each truffle in the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Return the chocolate-coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Optional: Sprinkle additional crushed Oreo crumbs on top for decoration.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 10 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set completely.
- Store the Oreo Ice Cream Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. For best texture, let them sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for the smoothest mixture.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform truffle sizes to ensure even coating and professional presentation.
- When melting chocolate, stir frequently and use low heat to prevent burning.
- For a cleaner chocolate coating, use a dipping fork or specialized chocolate dipping tool.
- Keep truffles chilled – they're best served slightly cool for maximum flavor and texture.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like white chocolate or dark chocolate for variety.
- For an extra decorative touch, drizzle contrasting melted chocolate on top after coating.
- If the truffle mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before forming balls.
