Snickerdoodle Truffle Bites Recipe

Introduction

Snickerdoodle Truffle Bites are a delightful twist on the classic cookie, blending creamy cheesecake with golden cookie crumbs and a cinnamon-sugar coating. These bite-sized treats are perfect for sharing or enjoying as a sweet indulgence anytime.

Ingredients

• 14.3-ounce package Golden Oreo sandwich cookies (approximately 36 cookies)
• 8 ounces block-style cream cheese, softened
• 4 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, divided
• 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
• 20 ounces Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers, divided and melted

Instructions

1. Step 1: Process the Golden Oreos in a food processor until finely ground into crumbs.
2. Step 2: In a large bowl, blend the crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese and 3 teaspoons of cinnamon until smooth and evenly mixed.
3. Step 3: Scoop approximately 1 tablespoon portions of the mixture and roll into balls. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 30 minutes to firm.

5. Step 5: Melt the white chocolate wafers following package instructions, then allow to cool slightly.
6. Step 6: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately roll in the cinnamon-sugar mixture to coat evenly.
7. Step 7: Place coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the coating is firm.
8. Step 8: Remove truffles from the fridge and serve as a sweet treat.

Tips & Variations

• Use full-fat cream cheese for the richest flavor and texture.
• For a different twist, try dipping the truffles in melted dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate.
• If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
• Add a pinch of nutmeg to the cinnamon-sugar mix for an extra warm flavor.

Storage

Store the truffle bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving. You can also freeze the truffles for up to one month; thaw in the refrigerator before eating.

FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Golden Oreos?

Yes, you can use regular Oreos, but the flavor and color will change since Golden Oreos provide a vanilla base that complements the cinnamon well.

How can I melt the white chocolate without burning it?

The best way is to melt the white chocolate wafers gently in short intervals in the microwave, stirring between each interval. Alternatively, melt them over a double boiler on low heat, stirring frequently until smooth.

Notes

• Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
• Use a food processor for fine cookie crumbs to achieve a smooth truffle texture.
• The truffles should be firm before dipping to prevent them from falling apart in chocolate.
• Store coated truffles in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
• You may substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if preferred, but the flavor profile will vary.
