Instructions
Step 1: Crush the Oreos
Add the cookies (cream and all) to a food processor. Pulse until finely crushed into a crumb texture. No large chunks should remain.
Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookies and softened cream cheese. Mix with a spatula until a smooth, sticky dough forms. You can also use your hands for faster mixing.
Step 3: Roll into Balls
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm up.
Step 4: Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 5: Dip and Coat
Use a fork or candy dipper to dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper.
Step 6: Decorate
Before the coating sets, add your favorite Easter sweet treats touches—sprinkles, pastel-colored drizzle, or mini eggs. Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate to harden quickly.
Step 7: Serve or Chill
Once set, serve immediately or store for later. These truffles are rich, decadent, and adorable!
Notes
- Use full-fat cream cheese for the best texture and flavor.
- Crush Oreos finely so the mixture holds together well.
- Chill before dipping to help them keep their shape.
