Main Ingredients
- 24 Oreo Cookies (about 1 and 1/2 cups finely crushed)
- 8 oz (225g) softened Cream Cheese
- 12 oz (340g) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Optional Toppings
- Sprinkles or Crushed Oreos for decoration
- Finely Chopped Nuts (almonds, pecans) for rolling
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground, resembling coarse sand. If you don’t have a processor, place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely crumbled.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl, add softened cream cheese, and mix thoroughly with a spatula until the mixture is uniform in color and sticky enough to hold its shape.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls between your palms. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them evenly.
- Chill the Balls: Refrigerate the truffle balls for about 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to dip and helping them hold their shape.
- Dip in Melted Chocolate: Melt chocolate chips in short bursts in the microwave or over a double boiler until smooth. Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle completely in the melted chocolate and place back onto the parchment paper.
- Add Toppings and Set: Before chocolate sets, sprinkle your preferred decorations such as crushed Oreos or colorful sprinkles. Refrigerate again for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
Notes
- Chill truffle balls properly before dipping to prevent melting and maintain neat shape.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and smooth texture.
- For thinner, shinier chocolate coating, add a little coconut oil or shortening to melted chocolate.
- Do not overmix the Oreo and cream cheese mixture to keep a velvety texture.
- Add decorations quickly before the chocolate sets for best adhesion.
