Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
- 1/2 cup crushed Oreo cookies for coating
Instructions
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine, uniform crumbs. Reserve about 1/2 cup of crumbs separately for coating.
- In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and processed Oreo cookie crumbs (except the reserved coating crumbs). Mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or spatula until a smooth, consistent dough forms.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to help firm up the mixture, making it easier to roll into balls.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for truffle placement.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the chilled mixture into uniform bite-sized balls, approximately 1-inch in diameter. Place each truffle on the prepared parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each interval to ensure smooth melting.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully submerge each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete coverage. Gently tap off excess chocolate.
- Immediately sprinkle the reserved crushed Oreo crumbs over the chocolate-coated truffles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate sets completely.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for optimal texture.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is perfectly softened at room temperature for the smoothest mixture.
- Chill the truffle mixture before rolling to prevent sticky hands and ensure uniform ball shapes.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips for the best melting and coating results.
- For a clean dipping process, use a fork or specialized chocolate dipping tool.
- Work quickly when coating truffles to prevent the chocolate from hardening.
- If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for an additional 10-15 minutes.
- For variations, try using white chocolate coating or different Oreo flavors.
- Use a cookie scoop for perfectly consistent truffle sizes.
- Let truffles sit at room temperature briefly before serving for the best texture and flavor.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent flavor absorption.
