Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 package Mint Oreo cookies (approximately 14.3 oz)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating & Decoration
- 12 oz white or dark chocolate, melted
- Green food coloring (optional, for white chocolate)
- Sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chocolate drizzle for decoration
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Use a food processor to pulverize the Mint Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Alternatively, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them thoroughly with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Stir together until the mixture is completely combined and smooth, forming a uniform dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Truffles: Using your hands, roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Chill: Refrigerate the shaped truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up. Alternatively, place them in the freezer for 15 minutes to speed up the cooling process.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the chocolate by heating it in 30-second increments. Stir well after each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth. If using white chocolate, add a few drops of green food coloring to achieve a minty hue.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, making sure to fully cover it. Use a fork to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Decorate: While the chocolate coating is still wet, sprinkle with decorations such as sprinkles, crushed Oreo crumbs, or drizzle with additional melted chocolate to personalize your treats.
Notes
- For an intense mint flavor, you can add a drop of peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- If you don’t have a food processor, crushing the Oreos in a sealed bag with a rolling pin works well.
- Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 5 days for best taste and texture.
- For a festive touch, consider using colored sprinkles that match your occasion.
