Ingredients
- package (36) Oreo cookies 🍪
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened 🧀
- 16 oz white chocolate or white candy coating 🍫
- Optional decorations: Sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or edible glitter 🌟🍬
Tools You’ll Need
- Food processor or rolling pin for crushing the Oreos
- Mixing bowl and spatula for blending ingredients
- Parchment paper-lined baking sheet
- Microwave-safe bowl (if melting chocolate in the microwave)
- Fork for dipping truffles into the chocolate
Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos 🍪
In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they’re a fine, crumb-like consistency. If you don’t have a processor, simply place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin until they’re finely ground.
Step 2: Mix in Cream Cheese 🧀
In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until everything is well combined and forms a thick, moldable dough.
Step 3: Shape into Balls ✋
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all balls are formed, pop the tray into the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Melt the White Chocolate 🍫
Using either the microwave or a double boiler, melt the white chocolate or candy coating. Stir until smooth and silky.
Step 5: Dip the Truffles 🕊️
Using a fork, dip each Oreo ball into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment paper.
Step 6: Decorate 🎉
While the chocolate is still wet, add your festive toppings—sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or edible glitter. Get creative with colors and textures to match the holiday spirit!
Step 7: Chill 🥶
Refrigerate the decorated truffles for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate coating is set.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy 🎅🍬
Keep these truffles stored in the fridge until you’re ready to serve. They’re best enjoyed cold, straight from the fridge!
