Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

• 36 Oreo sandwich cookies (about 400 g)
• 225 g cream cheese, softened (8 oz)
• 340 g semi-sweet chocolate chips or chocolate bars, chopped (12 oz)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Directions

1. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place them in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
2. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract if using.
3. Mix until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick, uniform dough.
4. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a smooth ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking tray.
5. Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
6. Melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth.
7. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Lift it out using a fork and gently tap to remove excess chocolate.
8. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper and allow them to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
9. Once the chocolate has hardened, the truffles are ready to serve.

FAQs

Can I make Oreo truffles ahead of time?

Yes, they are perfect for making ahead and can be stored in the refrigerator or freezer until needed.

Do I need to remove the cream filling from the Oreos?

No, use the whole cookie, including the filling, for the best flavor and texture.

Can I use milk chocolate instead of semi-sweet?

Yes, milk chocolate can be used for a sweeter result, or dark chocolate for a richer flavor.

What can I use if I don’t have a food processor?

You can crush the cookies in a sealed bag using a rolling pin until finely ground.

How do I keep the truffles from cracking?

Make sure the truffle centers are chilled but not frozen before dipping, and let the chocolate cool slightly before coating.

Can I add toppings to the truffles?

Yes, you can sprinkle crushed Oreos, cocoa powder, or chopped nuts on top before the chocolate sets.

Are Oreo truffles suitable for kids?

Yes, they are kid-friendly and a fun treat for all ages.

Can I make them without cream cheese?

Cream cheese is essential for the classic texture, but you could experiment with mascarpone for a similar result.

Why is my mixture too soft to roll?

If the mixture is too soft, refrigerate it for 15–20 minutes before rolling.

Can I use white chocolate for coating?

Yes, white chocolate works well and creates a nice contrast with the dark cookie center.
