What ingredients do I need for Oreo cream cheese truffles?

You need 36 cream-filled sandwich cookies (regular Oreos, not flavored or Double Stuf), 8 ounces of softened full-fat cream cheese, and 16 ounces of melting chocolate or candy melts. For peppermint variations, add 1 1/2 tsp peppermint extract and crushed candy canes for garnish.

How do you crush Oreos without a food processor?

Place the Oreos in a resealable bag and crush them finely with a rolling pin, working until you have even, fine crumbs to ensure a smooth truffle mixture.

Can I use low-fat or alternative ingredients for Oreo truffles?

While full-fat cream cheese is recommended for best texture, you can use low-fat cream cheese or substitutes like mascarpone or sweetened condensed milk. Keep in mind these alternatives may affect creaminess and firmness.

What equipment do I need to make Oreo cream cheese truffles?

A food processor or stand mixer is helpful but not essential. You can mix by hand using a bowl and spoon, and use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper for shaping and freezing.

Instructions

1. Line an 18 by 13-inch baking sheet with wax or parchment paper.
2. Place cookies in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. If no food processor is available, crush cookies in a resealable bag using a rolling pin.
3. Add softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and pulse or mix by hand until well combined.
4. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time, forming 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
5. Freeze the formed balls for at least 15 minutes to firm up. Meanwhile, crush additional cookies if needed for topping.
6. Melt chocolate according to package instructions or using a double boiler. Melted chocolate should be smooth and not overheated.
7. Dip the balls into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing them back onto the baking sheet. Sprinkle with crushed cookies or preferred garnish immediately.
8. Allow the coating to set completely before storing truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
