Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 36–42 golden Oreo cookies
- 6 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 20 drops pink food coloring, divided (more or less to adjust color)
Coating and Decoration
- 16 ounces vanilla candy coating
- Favorite Valentine sprinkles
Instructions
- Make Oreo Crumbs: Place 36 Oreo cookies in a food processor or smash in a sealed bag until finely crushed into crumbs.
- Combine Mixture: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixer or keep in the food processor. Add softened cream cheese and 10 drops of pink food coloring. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
- Form Truffle Balls: Check consistency; if too thin, add more cookie crumbs. Use a small ice cream scoop, melon baller, or teaspoon to scoop uniform amounts. Roll each scoop between your palms to form a smooth, round ball approximately 1¼ inches in diameter.
- Freeze the Balls: Place the formed balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet. Freeze while you prepare the candy coating. You should get about 24 truffles.
- Melt Candy Coating: Break the vanilla candy coating into pieces and place in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes.
- Dip the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted vanilla coating. Gently tap the bottom against the bowl edge to remove excess coating.
- Decorate: Place dipped truffles back onto the parchment paper, then immediately sprinkle with your favorite Valentine sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Repeat Dipping and Decorating: Continue dipping and decorating the remaining truffles until all are coated.
- Set and Serve: Refrigerate the tray of truffles for at least 15 minutes until the coating is firm. Serve the truffles at room temperature for optimal taste and texture. Enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: Store Oreo balls in the refrigerator until serving. Though they taste best cold, they can safely remain at room temperature for up to 2 hours due to the cream cheese content.
- Refrigeration: Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Freezing: Freeze truffles for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
