Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 14.3-ounce package Golden Oreo sandwich cookies (approximately 36 cookies)
  • 8 ounces block-style cream cheese, softened
  • 3 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Chocolate Coating

  • 20 ounces Ghirardelli white chocolate wafers, divided and melted

Instructions

  1. Crush Cookies: Process the Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor until they become finely ground crumbs, ensuring a smooth and even base for the truffle mixture.
  2. Combine Filling Ingredients: In a large bowl, blend the crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese and 3 teaspoons of ground cinnamon. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniformly combined.
  3. Shape Truffles: Using a tablespoon-sized scoop, portion out the mixture and roll it into balls. Place these balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze them for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Prepare Cinnamon Sugar: In a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons granulated sugar with 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon to create the coating mixture.
  5. Melt Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate wafers according to the package instructions, then allow the chocolate to cool slightly to a workable temperature for coating.
  6. Coat Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Immediately roll the coated truffle in the prepared cinnamon-sugar mixture to evenly coat it.
  7. Chill to Set: Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to firm up.
  8. Serve: Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and serve them as delightful bite-sized sweet treats perfect for any occasion.

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.
