Ingredients
Scale
- 36 vanilla oreos (about 15 ounces)
- 1 (8-ounce) block cream cheese, softened
- 14–16 ounces white chocolate melts
- red oil-based food coloring (optional)
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a sheet pan with parchment paper and set it aside.
- Place Oreos in a food processor and blend in 10-second increments until fine crumbs are formed.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and add cream cheese, mixing until well combined. Use your hands for better mixing.
- Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop to shape the mixture into balls, placing them on the prepared baking sheet. Roll them into smooth spheres and freeze for 30 minutes or refrigerate for 1 hour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, or use a double boiler over simmering water until melted.
- If coloring the chocolate, add food coloring gradually to achieve the desired shade once the chocolate is fully melted.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring they are fully coated. Tap off excess chocolate and place back on the sheet.
- If desired, chill in the fridge or freezer for about 10 minutes before drizzling additional chocolate or adding decorations.
- Add sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet and let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 2 hours.
Notes
The truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
Feel free to use different colored food coloring to match your occasion.
Experiment with various toppings like nuts or coconut flakes.
