Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 36 Vanilla Oreos (about 15 ounces)
- 1 8-ounce block cream cheese, softened
Coating
- 14–16 ounces white chocolate melts
- Red oil-based food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside to chill the truffles later.
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse in 10-second bursts until the cookies become fine crumbs.
- Mix Truffle Base: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, and mix thoroughly, preferably by hand, until fully combined into a uniform dough.
- Form Truffle Balls: Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough onto the prepared sheet. Roll each scoop into a smooth ball. Freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate either in the microwave using 20-second intervals with stirring or over a double boiler on low heat until completely smooth.
- Add Coloring: If coloring the chocolate, add drops of red oil-based food coloring once melted, mixing gradually to reach the desired shade.
- Dip Truffles: Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle completely into the melted chocolate, tap off excess coating, and place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Apply Drizzle (Optional): For a drizzle decoration, chill the dipped truffles in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes, then drizzle with extra chocolate as desired.
- Add Sprinkles (Optional): While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle with your choice of decorations. Allow the chocolate to set at room temperature for about 2 hours before serving.
Notes
- Use oil-based food coloring to color white chocolate to avoid seizing.
- If white chocolate melts are not available, high-quality white chocolate bars can be chopped and melted instead.
- Chilling times can be adjusted based on your freezer or fridge temperature.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- For a vegan version, substitute cream cheese and white chocolate with vegan alternatives.
