Oreo Truffles

I love quick and easy desserts and this is my all-time favourite. The combination of crushed Oreo and cream cheese, wrapped in a layer of chocolate makes an irresistible treat.

This is an amazing recipe, which is super easy to make and so delicious too.

WHAT YOU NEED FOR OREO TRUFFLES

JUST 3 INGREDIENTS!

Oreo Cookies: You are going to need 32 Oreo cookies to make these truffles. The cookies should be crushed finely. You can either place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor. Do not remove the cream from the cookies. 

Cream Cheese or Full fat creamed cottage cheese: Use full-fat cream cheese. The full fat contributes to a richer and creamier texture and taste when combined with the crushed Oreo's.

If you are using cottage cheese, make sure that it is creamed and not the chunky type. Chunky cottage cheese has high water content and will not work for this recipe.

Melted Chocolate: 2 cups / 350g /12.03 oz melted chocolate is needed to coat the truffles. The chocolate can be either melted in the microwave or on the stove top.

Melting the chocolate properly is important so here are a few tips to ensure a silky smooth texture whether you choose to use your microwave or stovetop.

TO MELT THE CHOCOLATE ON THE STOVE TOP: 

1. Roughly chop the chocolate into small pieces
2. Place a bowl that's just big enough to sit on top of a pot of simmering water and add your chopped chocolate to the bowl. Make sure the water doesn’t touch the bottom of the bowl. Keep the pot over low heat and stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula.
3. Stir chocolate occasionally as it softens. 
4. Do not allow any water to come into contact with the chocolate: You don't want to risk any water finding its way into your bowl of chocolate. It will cause it to seize so you want to avoid water touching it.

TO MELT THE CHOCOLATE IN THE MICROWAVE

Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl and only microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each time.

Once the chocolate is almost melted with just a few lumps, don't microwave it again just stir the chocolate until it is completely smooth. This will ensure that the chocolate does not burn.

FLAVOURINGS AND TOPPINGS

These truffles are amazing on their own, but how about giving some of these flavouring and toppings a try.

1. Grate peppermint chocolate ( my favourite) into the filling before shaping
2. Top and decorate with chopped candy canes, grated chocolate or colourful sprinkles.
3. Dip or coat the truffles in white chocolate.
4. Drizzle melted chocolate to give a decorative look.

TIPS TO CREATE THE PERFECT OREO TRUFFLES

1. The cookies need to be crushed finely. Either place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor. Do not remove the cream from the cookies. 
2. Freeze the shaped truffles for about 10 to 15 minutes before coating in the melted chocolate. This allows it to firm up and prevent breaking.
3. Work gently when dipping the shaped truffles in chocolate.
4. Store in the refrigerator to keep the great texture and prevent the chocolate from melting.

MAKING THE OREO TRUFFLES

A super easy recipe made using just 3 ingredients

Line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place the cookies in a Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin or use a food processor. Do not remove the cream from the cookies. 

Empty out the crushed cookies into a large bowl and stir in the cream cheese until well combined.

Add any additional flavouring you prefer, like grated mint chocolate, essence, crushed candy canes. Please keep in mind that this is just an optional step. The truffles can be simply combined with cream cheese and crushed Oreo s or additional flavouring as you prefer. 

Shape the mixture into balls and place on the baking sheet. 

Place the baking sheet with the shaped truffles in the freezer for 10 minutes.

While the truffles are in the freezer, you can melt the chocolate either in the microwave or on the stovetop.

Dip the chilled truffles in the melted chocolate and place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

OPTIONAL: 

Sprinkle with additional toppings you prefer. Do this before the chocolate sets and hardens.
