Gather Your Ingredients
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Chill Time: 30 minutes | Servings: 12 truffles
- 1 package of Oreo cookies (about 15 cookies)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles or colored sugar for decoration
Let’s Get Cooking
-
Start by crushing the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can do this by placing them in a zip-top bag and using a rolling pin or by pulsing them in a food processor.
-
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
-
Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
-
While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
-
Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place them back on the parchment paper.
-
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle your choice of decorations on top. Let the truffles cool completely before serving.
My Pro Tips
-
For a fun twist, try using different flavored Oreos, like mint or peanut butter, to change up the flavor profile.
-
To make the truffles even more festive, use colored melting chocolate instead of white chocolate.
Perfect Pairings
These truffles are delightful on their own, but here are some great pairings:
- A glass of cold milk
- Fresh strawberries or raspberries
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream
