Ingredients
Scale
- 36 vanilla oreos about 15 ounces
- 1 8- ounce block cream cheese softened
- 14–16 ounces white chocolate melts *see notes
- red oil-based food coloring optional (or powdered)
- sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside in the fridge or freezer.
- In a food processor, crush the Oreos into fine crumbs with 10-second pulses.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs into a bowl, add softened cream cheese, and mix thoroughly, preferably using your hands for better texture.
- Using a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop, shape the mixture into balls and place them onto the prepared sheet. Chill in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the fridge for an hour.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second bursts and stirring in between, or use a double boiler method for gentle melting.
- If coloring the chocolate, add oil-based food coloring after it's fully melted, adjusting the amount for your desired shade.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate with a fork, ensuring they are completely coated, and tap off the excess chocolate before placing them back on the sheet.
- If you wish to drizzle chocolate over them, chill the truffles in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes before decorating them as desired.
- Sprinkle any toppings on while the chocolate is still wet and let the chocolate set at room temperature for approximately 2 hours.
Notes
For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened before mixing.
Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in a cool place for up to a week.
Experiment with different types of chocolate melts for unique flavors.
