Oreo Truffles Chocolate Cream

These easy Oreo Truffles are my go-to treat for parties and family gatherings because they are rich creamy and packed with chocolate flavor. Each bite feels like a little bit of magic with their smooth centers and delightfully crisp shell

The first time I made these for a holiday cookie exchange they disappeared faster than anything else on the table and now I am always asked to bring a batch

Ingredients

• Oreo cookies: Classic chocolate sandwich cookies are best since the filling helps hold everything together Look for fresh cookies without cracks
• Cream cheese: Softened cream cheese makes everything creamy and smooth Full fat blocks hold up best for rolling
• Semi sweet or milk chocolate: The coating brings all the flavor together Choose good quality bars or chips for even melting
• White chocolate: For an optional drizzle that adds visual flair Use real white chocolate for best results
• Extra Oreos or sprinkles: For garnish and a bit of crunch You can use holiday sprinkles or colored sugars for special occasions

Step-by-Step Instructions

Crush the Cookies:

Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you see fine crumbs If you do not have a processor you can use a plastic bag and rolling pin Press out all large chunks for a smooth texture

Blend with Cream Cheese:

Transfer all the crumbs to a large mixing bowl Add the softened cream cheese Use a sturdy spatula or your clean hands to mix everything until there are no streaks remaining This step can take a few minutes so be patient as you blend

Shape the Truffles:

Scoop mixture using a small cookie scoop or a spoon and roll into one inch balls The texture will be soft so take your time to get even shapes Arrange the balls on a parchment lined baking sheet leaving a little space between each

Chill the Truffles:

Move the whole tray to the fridge for at least thirty minutes or to the freezer for fifteen to twenty minutes This helps them firm up and makes coating much easier later

Melt the Chocolate:

Prepare a microwave safe bowl or use a double boiler on the stove Gently melt chocolate in thirty second intervals or over low heat until smooth and glossy Stir well each time to avoid any lumps or burning

Coat the Truffles:

Drop each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate one at a time Use a fork to lift it out and tap against the edge of the bowl to let any extra chocolate drip off Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment

Decorate:

While the chocolate is still wet drizzle the tops with melted white chocolate if using Sprinkle some extra crushed Oreo crumbs or colorful sprinkles on top for a festive look

Set and Serve:

Chill the finished truffles in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely set This can take twenty to thirty minutes Once firm they are ready to eat or package up for gifts

The best part about these truffles is the way the chocolate shell cracks when you bite in My favorite memories are letting kids pick all their own toppings from a rainbow of sprinkles and crushed cookies It never gets old seeing those happy smiles

Storage Tips

Store extra truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week Place baking parchment between the layers to prevent sticking If you want to save them longer freeze the truffles in a single layer then transfer into a zip bag and they will keep for up to two months

Substitute Ideas

If you do not have Oreos try using another chocolate sandwich cookie or even a gluten free option You can swap in dark chocolate or white chocolate for the coating and almond bark also works Cream cheese alternatives like Neufchatel can lighten them up a bit
