Valentine's Day Oreo Truffles
Delightful homemade Oreo truffles, perfect for Valentine's Day or any sweet occasion. Easy to make and fun to decorate!
Equipment
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment Paper
- Food Processor
- Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 36 Vanilla Oreos (about 15 ounces)
- 1 block cream cheese 8-ounce, softened
- 14-16 ounces white chocolate melts
- red oil-based food coloring optional
- sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside; this will be for chilling your truffles later.
- Place the Vanilla Oreos into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can put them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin!
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until well combined. Using your hands can help achieve a perfect, smooth blend.
- Scoop out the mixture using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop. Roll each scoop into a smooth, round ball and place them on your prepared baking sheet.
- Pop the baking sheet with the truffle balls into the freezer for 30 minutes, or into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. This step is key to making them firm for dipping!
- Gently melt the white chocolate. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 20-second bursts, stirring well after each, or use a double boiler over a pot with simmering water, stirring until smooth.
- If you desire a festive look, add a tiny drop of red oil-based food coloring to the melted white chocolate and stir until you reach your desired pink shade.
- Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle completely into the melted chocolate. Gently tap the fork against the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate, ensuring a smooth coating.
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined sheet. If adding sprinkles, do so immediately while the chocolate is still wet. For a chocolate drizzle design, let them chill for about 10 minutes first, then drizzle with a bit more melted chocolate.
- Allow the truffles to set at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until the chocolate coating is firm and glossy. Enjoy your delightful homemade treats!
