Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 pound, 4 ounces (567 grams) Oreo Cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Chocolate and Coating:
- 8 ounces (226 grams) white chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips
- 8 ounces (226 grams) semisweet chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips
- Milk Chocolate Candy Melts
- White Chocolate Candy Melts
Flavoring and Decoration:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Christmas sprinkles for decoration
- Red food coloring
- Green food coloring
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor, ensuring a uniform texture that will blend seamlessly with cream cheese.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese and vanilla extract into the cookie crumbs, mixing thoroughly until a cohesive, moldable dough forms.
- Refrigerate the mixture for approximately 15 minutes, allowing it to firm up and become easier to handle during shaping.
- Utilize a cookie scoop to create uniform portions, then gently roll each between palms to craft smooth, perfectly round truffle spheres.
- Transfer the shaped truffles to a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 15-30 minutes to stabilize their structure.
- Melt white, milk, and semisweet chocolates individually in microwave-safe containers, stirring carefully to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Separate melted white chocolate into three distinct bowls, tinting one green and another red while leaving the third portion pristine white.
- Carefully immerse each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before placing on parchment paper.
- Embellish the chocolate-coated truffles with festive Christmas sprinkles and decorative drizzles of colored candy melts.
- Allow truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate coating hardens and becomes firm.
Notes
- Chilling is crucial for perfect texture, helping the mixture firm up and making truffle shaping easier.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size, ensuring consistent and professional-looking truffles.
- Freezing truffles before dipping prevents chocolate coating from melting the delicate mixture.
- Melt chocolate in short intervals to avoid burning, stirring between each microwave session for smooth consistency.
- Work quickly when decorating to prevent chocolate from hardening before adding sprinkles.
- Store in refrigerator to maintain shape and extend shelf life of these delightful treats.
