Ingredient Info and Substitution Suggestions

OREOS – You will use whole golden Oreo cookies in this recipe. No need to separate the cookie from its filling as the filling will lend moisture and flavor.

CHOCOLATE – Candy melting wafers are what we always use for Oreo truffles but you can also use vanilla almond bark or a bar of quality white baking chocolate if desired. The shortening added to the chocolate just helps it melt a little more smoothly and thins it out a tiny bit. You can skip the shortening if you don’t have it available.

1. Place cookies in the bowl of a food processor and pulverize into small crumbs.
2. Remove 2 tablespoons of the cookie crumbs to decorate the top of the truffles, if desired.
3. Add the cream cheese into the food processor and process until the mixture is fully combined and clumps into a “dough.”
4. Use a tablespoon or a cookie dough scoop to make balls of the mixture and place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
5. Chill in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to firm the dough a bit.
6. Roll each ball between the palms of your hands to form a smooth ball. Place the tray back into the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes.
   
7. Place the melting wafers and shortening (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each interval, until the wafers are melted through and are smooth.
8. Working on one ball at a time, dip the solid ball into the melted chocolate, tossing it to coat completely. Lift from the chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Tap off excess chocolate and place the ball on a clean sheet of parchment paper.
9. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of reserved cookie crumbs over the top of the truffle before the chocolate sets and hardens.
10. Continue dipping all of the truffles.
11. Place the remaining melted chocolate in a small plastic bag and snip off the corner. Drizzle a bit over the top of the truffles for decoration.
12. Once the chocolate has set, the truffles are ready to eat!

Frequently Asked Questions & Expert Tips

Store the Oreo truffles in an air-tight container, layered between pieces of parchment paper, in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. They must be refrigerated as they contain cream cheese, however, do note that they will develop condensation when removed from the fridge. This won’t affect the truffles themselves.

Yes, you can freeze Oreo truffles. You have two options of doing so – freeze the balls without the chocolate coating, or freeze them with the chocolate coating. For freezing the balls without the coating, place them on a baking sheet and flash-freeze them until solid, this way they don’t stick together. Once solid, transfer them to a large ziptop bag and freeze for up to 3 months. To freeze with the coating, simply allow the chocolate coating to fully set before transferring to a large ziptop bag or air-tight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.

Yes, absolutely. You can prepare them a day in advance and store them in the refrigerator in an air-tight container until you are ready to serve.
