Golden Oreo Truffles

Golden Oreo Truffles

Did you forget that it is Valentine’s Day and need a festive  (but quick) treat to give to someone special?  Well these Golden Oreo Truffles are super easy to make and can be made with dark chocolate or white chocolate.  Did I mention that they are delicious?

White Chocolate and Dark Chocolate Oreo Truffles

These are very similar to the Oreo Truffles that M made for our 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, but with a slight twist using Golden Oreos instead.  I also used a combination of white and dark chocolate…I prefer dark, while my dear Valentine prefers white.  These Golden Oreo Truffles can be easily switched up for any holiday or theme…just add whatever color sprinkles you need!  I found mini cupcake wrappers to be the perfect holder for the truffles.

Recipe type: Dessert
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 24
 
Ingredients
  • 1 package (8 oz.) reduced-fat cream cheese, room temperature
  • 1 package Golden Oreos
  • White chocolate bars (5-6 oz.)
  • Dark chocolate bars (5-6 oz.)
  • Sprinkles or sanding sugar to decorate with (optional)
Instructions
  1. Prepare baking sheet by lining them with parchment paper and set aside.
  2. Using a food processor, chop up Golden Oreos until finely crushed. In a separate bowl, mix together the cream cheese and crushed Oreos until fully combined.
  3. Shape the cream cheese/Oreo mixture into ~48 (1-inch) balls and place onto parchment-lined baking sheet. Place the tray in the freezer for 25-40 minutes.
  4. Meanwhile, chop up the white and dark chocolate and place in separate bowls. Melt the chocolate in the microwave at 30 second intervals until chocolate is fully melted and smooth (stir between each interval.) Once the cream cheese/Oreo balls are full frozen, dip the balls into either the white or dark chocolate bowl. Place back onto baking sheet and decorate with sprinkles or sanding sugar before the chocolate sets. Refrigerate the Golden Oreo Truffles for 20 more minutes so the chocolate fully sets. Be sure to store truffles in the fridge as the center has cream cheese in it.

Twelve Oreo Truffles

Posted by on

Oreo Truffles

It’s here!  We are officially ready to kick off another year of the 2S2C Twelve Days of Christmas Cookies!  (If you missed the event from 2011, the recap with all 12 cookie recipes can be found here.)  K and I have found twelve new recipes for the holiday season and we hope you’ll join us for the celebration!  I’m kicking off the party with a recipe that is new to me- Oreo Truffles.

My mom brought these Oreo Truffles to my house for a post-Thanksgiving treat.  She said that she had read about this recipe on a lot of food blogs and had to try them out.  At first I was skeptical, especially after eating way too many Oreos for T’s Mickey Mouse-themed birthday party.  The fact that the original recipe for Oreo Truffles only has three ingredients didn’t help either.  However, once I tried one, I understood what all the fuss was about.  Who knew that such an easy cookie recipe could be so good!?

I figured this recipe would be a great way to kick things off with a nice and simple, but amazing recipe.  Try making some Oreo Truffles to kick off your Christmas cookie season (however, did I mention these are no-bake?)  Hopefully that will get you in the mood for more holiday baking.  We’ve got so many great cookie recipes planned….I can hardly wait!

Twelve Oreo Truffles
Author: 
Recipe type: Cookie
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 48
 
Ingredients
  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz. cream cheese, room temperature
  • 16 oz. semi-sweet or dark chocolate
  • 3 tablespoons sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Reserve ¼ cup of the cookie crumbs in a small bowl. Mix the remaining cookie crumbs and cream cheese in a medium size bowl until blended. Shape mixture into 48 balls.
  2. Mix reserved cookie crumbs with the sprinkles. (This step is optional, but I wanted to get a little green, red, and white color on the truffles to make them more Christmas-y.)
  3. Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl (a glass Pyrex measuring cup also works great). Microwave on high for 2-4 minutes depending on your microwave's strength, stirring about every 30 seconds.
  4. Cover a rimmed baking sheet with a piece of wax paper. Once the chocolate is melted, dip each oreo ball into the melted chocolate mixture. Use two forks to roll truffles in the chocolate until evenly coated. Let excess chocolate drip back into the bowl and place dipped truffle onto the baking sheet. Before the chocolate firms up, sprinkle a small amount of the cookie crumb and sprinkle mixture on top.
  5. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Store truffles in an air-tight container in the fridge or freeze in a freezer bag until ready to serve.
