Ingredients
Ingredient | Measurement (Spoon) | Measurement (Gram) |
---|---|---|
Oreo Cookies | ~24 cookies | 240g (approx.) |
Cream Cheese | 6 tbsp (softened) | 100g |
Dark Chocolate | ~⅔ cup (chopped) | 100g |
Vegetable Oil | 2 tsp | 10g |
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos
In a food processor, pulse all the Oreo cookies (cream and all) until they turn into fine crumbs. You want a sand-like texture. - Mix in Cream Cheese
Transfer the crumbs into a bowl. Add softened cream cheese and mix until well combined and sticky. You can use a spatula or your hands—it’s a bit messy, but worth it! - Shape the Truffles
Roll the mixture into small bite-sized balls (about 1 inch in diameter). Place them on a parchment-lined baking tray. - Freeze
Pop the tray into the freezer for 60 minutes. This firms them up and makes dipping much easier. - Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, add chopped dark chocolate and vegetable oil. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and glossy. - Coat the Truffles
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate. Tap off the excess and place them back on the parchment paper. - Set & Serve
Let the chocolate harden at room temperature, or pop them in the fridge for quicker results. Once set, they’re ready to enjoy!
Food Storage
- Fridge: Store truffles in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
- Freezer: Freeze for up to 1 month. Just let them thaw in the fridge before serving.
Pro Tips
- Flavor Twist: Add a drop of peppermint extract or orange zest to the cream cheese mixture for a festive spin.
- Coating Options: Use white chocolate or ruby chocolate for a colorful twist.
- Topping Ideas: Sprinkle crushed Oreos, sea salt, or edible glitter before the coating sets.
- Gift It: Package in mini cupcake liners and place in a cute box for the perfect homemade gift.
- Texture Hack: If you prefer a crunch, mix in chopped nuts or crispy rice cereal.

FAQs
1. Can I use flavored Oreos?

2. Can I make these truffles ahead of time?
Yes! They freeze beautifully. Just take them out of the freezer 10 minutes before serving.
3. Can I use white chocolate instead of dark?
Yes, white chocolate works great—but make sure to melt it slowly to avoid burning.
4. What if I don’t have a food processor?
No problem. Just put the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
5. My chocolate coating looks messy. Any tips?
