Ingredients
Truffle Mixture
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating & Decoration
- 12 oz white or milk chocolate, melted
- Pink or red food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Crush Oreo Cookies: Using a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs to create the base texture for the truffles.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and mix until the mixture is fully combined and smooth.
- Shape the Truffles: Roll the mixture into small balls, then carefully shape each ball into a heart form with your hands.
- Freeze to Firm Up: Place the shaped heart truffles onto a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 to 30 minutes to help them firm up for coating.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white or milk chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals and stirring until smooth.
- Dip and Coat: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate coating it evenly, ensuring full coverage.
- Decorate: Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper and immediately decorate with sprinkles as desired.
- Set the Coating: Allow the chocolate coating to fully set at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- For cake pop-style treats, insert sticks into the shaped hearts before dipping in the chocolate.
