Description
Deliciously rich and creamy Oreo Truffles that combine crushed Oreos and cream cheese, coated in smooth chocolate candy melts and finished with a decorative white chocolate drizzle. Perfect for parties, holidays, or as a decadent treat.
Ingredients
Oreo Mixture
- 36 Oreos (including filling)
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
Chocolate Coating
- 10 oz chocolate candy melts
- 5 oz white candy melts (for decorating)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place 36 Oreos, including the cream filling, into a food processor. Secure the lid and pulse at high speed until the Oreos become a very fine crumb.
- Combine with Cream Cheese: Add 6 ounces of softened cream cheese to the food processor. Mix on high until the cream cheese and Oreo crumbs are fully combined into a dough-like texture.
- Shape the Truffles: Remove the blade and transfer the mixture into a bowl. Using a medium cookie scoop or cake baller, portion out the mixture and roll each scoop into a ball by hand.
- Freeze the Truffles: Place the shaped truffle balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze them for 15 minutes to help set.
- Melt the Chocolate Candy Coating: While truffles are freezing, melt 10 ounces of chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a butter knife, place a small blob of melted chocolate on the thickest part and put a truffle on top to hold it. Spoon melted chocolate over the truffle until fully coated. Transfer to a wax paper-lined baking sheet using another butter knife. Repeat with all truffles.
- Decorate with White Chocolate: After the chocolate coating sets, melt 5 ounces of white candy melts. Pour into a disposable pastry bag, snip a small tip, and drizzle over the truffles for decoration.
- Set and Serve: Allow the decorated truffles to set for about 20 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Softening the cream cheese beforehand ensures easier mixing and a smoother texture.
- Freezing the truffles before coating helps maintain their shape while dipping.
- Use a wax or parchment paper to prevent sticking during setting.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep fresh for up to one week.
- For variation, try using dark or milk chocolate candy melts instead of the standard chocolate melts.
