Oreo truffles are made with Oreo cookies, cream cheese and chocolate. This easy no-bake recipe makes dozens of truffles perfect for holiday entertaining and cookie exchanges.
1cup(8 oz, 226 g or 1 block) cream cheese, room temperature
2 ½cups(437 g) good quality chocolate chips, or melting wafers
Sprinkles for decorating, optional
Instructions
Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the cream cheese and pulse until smooth. (Alternatively, you can crush cookies in a ziplock bag and mix in the cream cheese by hand). Transfer mixture to a bowl and cover it. Place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper (or wax paper). Take the truffle mixture out of the fridge. Use a 1-inch cookie scoop to scoop mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place balls on prepared baking sheet and transfer to the freezer for 30 minutes or until firm.
Melt the chocolate in a makeshift double boiler (see notes for microwave instructions). Place chocolate in a heat-safe glass bowl over a pot of simmering water. Gently stir until chocolate is completely melted.
Remove truffles from freezer. Using dipping tools or two forks to dip a truffle in the melted chocolate and coat evenly. Gently tap off the excess chocolate on the side of the bowl and return truffle to the tray. Immediately add sprinkles if desired. Repeat with remaining truffles.
Serve immediately or store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Notes
Melting chocolate in microwave: Place chocolate in a microwave safe bowl. Heat for 60 seconds at 50% power level. Stir gently and return bowl to microwave. Heat and stir in 20 second intervals at 50% power level until chocolate is melted. See more tips for melting chocolate.Freeze truffles for up to 3 months. Store between sheets of parchment paper in an airtight container.White chocolate Oreo truffles: White chocolate may be substituted for semisweet chocolate. I suggest using white chocolate melting wafers or baking chocolate as it melts more easily than white chocolate chips. Follow the same instructions for melting the chocolate.Can flavored Oreos be substituted? Yes, however I found that the flavored Oreos have slightly more filling. Use 7 ounces (198 g) of cream cheese instead of 8.
