Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 golden Oreo cookies (14.3 ounces / 405 grams)
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
Spices and Flavoring:
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating and Decoration:
- 16 ounces (454 grams) white almond bark or white chocolate melting wafers
- Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare a parchment-lined tray to accommodate the truffle creation process.
- Transform golden Oreo cookies into delicate crumbs using a food processor, working in smaller batches if necessary to ensure uniform texture.
- Merge softened cream cheese, pulverized cookie particles, aromatic cinnamon, and rich vanilla extract in a spacious mixing vessel, utilizing an electric mixer to generate a harmonious, silky amalgamation.
- Craft uniform spherical formations approximately one inch in diameter, carefully positioning each truffle onto the prepared parchment surface.
- Allow the nascent truffles to rest and solidify within the refrigerator’s cool environment for a minimum of 60 minutes, enabling structural integrity.
- Initiate the chocolate coating procedure by gently liquefying almond bark within a microwave-safe container, employing brief 30-second intervals and intermittent stirring to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency.
- Employ a specialized dipping implement or fork to submerge each truffle into the molten chocolate, permitting excess coating to cascade away before returning the confection to the parchment landscape, optionally adorning with delicate sprinkle embellishments prior to chocolate solidification.
- Return the chocolate-enrobed truffles to the refrigerator’s embrace, permitting them to completely set and develop a pristine, glossy exterior for approximately one additional hour.
Notes
- Crush Oreos finely for a smooth, consistent texture that blends perfectly with cream cheese, avoiding large cookie chunks.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature beforehand to ensure seamless mixing and prevent lumpy truffle filling.
- Use a small cookie scoop or melon baller for uniform truffle sizes, creating professional-looking treats that cook evenly.
- Experiment with alternative coatings like white chocolate, milk chocolate, or cinnamon sugar for diverse flavor profiles and visual appeal.
