Let’s dive into how to make these delicious Golden Oreo Truffles.
Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Golden Oreos
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips (or white chocolate coating)
Directions:
-
Crush the Golden Oreos: Start by placing the Golden Oreos into a food processor. Pulse until they are finely crushed into crumbs. If you don't have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they are finely ground.
-
Mix the crumbs with cream cheese: In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with the softened cream cheese. Use a spoon or your hands to mix them together until well combined. The mixture should be thick and dough-like.
-
Shape the truffles: Once the Oreo and cream cheese mixture is fully combined, use a tablespoon or a cookie scoop to portion out small amounts of the mixture. Roll each portion into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture has been shaped into truffles.
-
Chill the truffles: Place the baking sheet with the Oreo balls into the fridge or freezer for at least 30 minutes to chill. This step ensures the truffles will hold their shape when dipped in chocolate.
-
Coat with white chocolate: While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate. You can do this by placing the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler on the stove.
-
Dip the truffles: Once the truffles are chilled and the white chocolate is melted, dip each Oreo ball into the white chocolate, using a fork to help coat it evenly. Let the excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
-
Set and decorate: After all the truffles are coated, let them set at room temperature or place them in the fridge for about 10 minutes to harden the chocolate. If you want, you can drizzle some extra melted white chocolate on top for decoration or add sprinkles for a festive touch.
-
Serve and enjoy: Once the chocolate coating has fully set, your Golden Oreo Truffles are ready to enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week (though they rarely last that long!).
Tips for Perfect Golden Oreo Truffles:
-
Cream cheese: Be sure to use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture. Light or fat-free cream cheese can affect the consistency of the truffles.
-
Melting the chocolate: Be cautious when melting the white chocolate—it can burn easily. Stir every 30 seconds to ensure it melts smoothly.
-
Customization: Want to get creative? You can mix in a bit of flavored extract, like vanilla or almond, into the Oreo and cream cheese mixture for an extra layer of flavor. You can also dip the truffles in milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different twist!
-
Serving ideas: These truffles are perfect for gift-giving, especially around the holidays! Pack them in a cute box or jar, and they make a thoughtful, homemade present for friends and family.
