Description
These Oreo Truffles are a decadent, no-bake treat combining crushed Oreo cookies with creamy cream cheese, dipped in smooth melted chocolate. Perfect for parties, holidays, or whenever you crave an easy yet indulgent dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Truffles:
- 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (full-fat for best results)
For the Coating:
- 16 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or white chocolate for coating)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
For Garnish (Optional):
- Crushed Oreos for sprinkling on top
- Drizzle of melted chocolate for decoration
Instructions
- Crush Cookies: In a food processor, add the entire package of Oreo cookies and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs. Alternatively, place cookies in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin until fine.
- Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms, using a spatula or your hands.
- Shape into Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat until all mixture is used.
- Chill: Refrigerate the shaped truffles for about 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Truffles: Remove chilled truffles from refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and let excess drip off.
- Place on Baking Sheet: Return coated truffles to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Add Toppings: While chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed Oreos on top or drizzle with extra melted chocolate for decoration.
- Chill Again: Refrigerate truffles for 15-20 minutes more to set the chocolate coating.
- Serve: Once set, serve chilled and enjoy your indulgent Oreo truffles.
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for best flavor and texture.
- If you don’t have a food processor, crushing the Oreos in a sealed bag with a rolling pin works well.
- Coconut oil helps create a smoother chocolate coating but is optional.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- These truffles can be customized with different chocolate types or garnishes like sprinkles or nuts.
