No Bake Oreo Truffles
Simple, easy & fun! I love to make these during Christmas season but you can decorate them however you'd like as a year-round treat.
Servings: 40
Ingredients
- 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 package regular Oreos
- melting chocolate
- sprinkles to decorate
Instructions
- Combine cream cheese and oreos in a food processor until fully blended. I recommend slicing up the cream cheese to make the mixing process easier. To note: If you buy a family size oreo pack, count out about 36-40 oreos (you will NOT need the whole pack if it's family size).
- Scoop out the dough into a bowl and cover with saran wrap. Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes (the longer the better) so the dough is easier to work with. If it's too soft, the truffles will be harder to mold and maintain a rounded shape.
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Once the dough is chilled, roll into small, bite-size balls and place on the wax paper. I usually end up with anywhere from 35-45 total truffles. When you've filled your tray, pop the baking sheet in the freezer for 20-30 minutes to fully harden.
- While freezing, begin slowly melting your chocolate. Once melted, take your truffles out of the freezer 5 at a time (this makes the whole process easier as the ones you're not working with stay hard) and fully cover in chocolate. Remember that the truffles have been freezing so the chocolate will set fast! If you're decorating with sprinkles, decorate immediately after dipping.
- Once all chocolate has set, store in an airtight container and keep refrigerated, then serve when ready.
