🧂 Ingredients You Need
We are going to keep the ingredients to a minimum here and simply use:
- Oreos: I used regular Oreos for this recipe, however you can easily use the golden Oreos, or any other flavor you prefer. Do not use double stuffed, as they are a lot larger and will not combine as well with the cream cheese
- Cream cheese: this should be softened to room temperature to make it easier to combine with the crushed Oreos
- Dark chocolate: I use good quality chocolate melts as they are easy to melt in the microwave. You can switch to milk chocolate if preferred
- White chocolate: again I use a good quality white chocolate melt
- Heavy cream: this helps to thin out the melted chocolate, making it easier to coat the oreo balls.
When it comes to the chocolate it pays to spend a little more and get good quality chocolate, as it will make the Oreo balls taste so much better.
📋 How To Make Oreo Truffles
These are so easy to make, the hardest part is probably melting the chocolate, but if you buy a brand of chocolate that melts easily in the microwave then you shouldn't have any issues.
Simply pop the oreos into a blender and blend until you have a fine crumb. Add in the cream cheese and blend until you have a well combined mixture.
Once combined, use one tablespoon at a time, take some of the mixture and roll it into evenly-sized balls.
Pop these rolled balls onto some parchment paper and then into the freezer. Having the balls partially frozen will make it easier to coat them in chocolate when the time comes.
While the Oreo balls are resting in the freezer go ahead and melt your chocolate. Place the chocolate and oil in a glass bowl. Pop it into the microwave and melt in 20-second increments, stirring after each increment, until it is completely melted and smooth.
If you prefer then you can use a double boiler, or a heatproof bowl placed over a pot of simmering water, stirring constantly until completely melted.
Add in the heavy cream, stir, and set the chocolate aside to let it cool before dipping the Oreo balls into it, otherwise, the heat can cause the balls to melt slightly, and they will end up being weirdly shaped.
Now all that's left to do is sprinkle with the crushed Oreos and pop back into the freezer for about 30 minutes to let the chocolate set.
💭 Switch Things Up
Oreo truffles are easily customisable, so why not switch things up and use seasonal sprinkles (affiliate link) or coloured white chocolate to match whatever holiday you are celebrating.
Try some of these ideas:
- Pink melted chocolate or pink sprinkles (affiliate link) for Valentine's Day
- Christmas sprinkles (affiliate link)
- Halloween sprinkles (affiliate link) or candy eyes
Have some fun with it, and use your imagination.
