Ingredients:
1 package (about 36 cookies) Oreo cookies
8 oz (about 225g) cream cheese, softened
1 tsp vanilla extract
12 oz (about 340g) chocolate for coating (dark, milk, or white chocolate)
Additional crushed Oreos for topping (optional)
Instructions:
1. Crush the Oreos:
- Use a food processor to finely crush the Oreo cookies, including the cream filling. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese:
- In a large bowl, mix the finely crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until well combined. The mixture should be moist and easy to form into balls.
3. Shape into Balls:
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.
4. Chill the Balls:
- Place the tray in the refrigerator and let the Oreo balls chill for at least 1-2 hours, or until they are firm.
5. Melt the Chocolate:
- Break the chocolate into small, even-sized pieces and place them in a microwave-safe bowl.
- Microwave the chocolate in short intervals of 15-30 seconds, stirring well after each interval. Continue microwaving and stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
6. Coat with Chocolate:
- Using a fork, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined tray.
7. Optional Topping:
- If desired, sprinkle some additional crushed Oreos on top of the chocolate-coated truffles before the chocolate sets.
8. Chill Again:
- Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate until the chocolate coating is firm.
9. Serve and Enjoy:
- Once the chocolate is set, your Oreo cookie chocolate truffles are ready to be enjoyed! Serve them on a plate or package them in a lovely box for a sweet gift.
