Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 (14.3 oz.) package Golden Oreos
- 1 (8 oz.) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating & Decoration
- 12 oz. white melting chocolate
- Sprinkles, as desired
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo Crumbs: Place the Golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large pieces left.
- Combine with Cream Cheese: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese broken into small pieces and the vanilla extract. Using clean hands, mix everything thoroughly until well combined into a smooth, moldable dough.
- Form Truffles: Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. For firmer truffles, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment and freeze for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or follow the package instructions until smooth and glossy.
- Coat Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, coating it evenly. Place the coated truffles back onto parchment paper, then immediately sprinkle with your choice of sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Set and Store: Allow the chocolate coating to cool and harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
Notes
- Use clean hands to mix the Oreo and cream cheese mixture for the best texture.
- Freezing the truffles before dipping helps them hold their shape and makes coating easier.
- White melting chocolate can be substituted with candy melts or high-quality white chocolate for best results.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator to maintain freshness but bring to room temperature before serving for optimal flavor.
- Sprinkles add festive color but are optional.
