Ingredients
Truffle Base
- 1 (14.3 oz) package Golden Oreos
- 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Coating
- 12 - 16 oz white melting chocolate
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Process Oreos: In a food processor, add the Golden Oreos and pulse until they become fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large pieces left.
- Combine Ingredients: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese broken into small pieces and the vanilla extract. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and has a consistent dough-like texture. Using clean hands can help in mixing and forming the dough smoothly.
- Form Balls: Roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into small, bite-sized balls. For optimal texture and easier handling in the next step, place the balls in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate either by using a double boiler or microwaving it in 25-second increments, stirring thoroughly between each increment until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat Truffles: Roll each chilled truffle ball in the melted white chocolate, coating it evenly. Place the coated truffles on parchment paper. Immediately sprinkle each truffle with your desired colored sprinkles to decorate before the chocolate sets.
- Set and Store: Allow the coated truffles to cool and set completely at room temperature or in the fridge. Once set, store them in the refrigerator where they will keep fresh for up to one week.
Notes
- Using softened cream cheese at room temperature helps achieve a smoother mixture.
- Freezing the truffle balls before dipping makes the coating process easier and prevents melting.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during the chocolate setting process.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Experiment with different sprinkle colors and types to customize for holidays or parties.
