Ingredients
Truffle Mixture
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
Coating
- 1 1/2 cups green melting wafers
- 1/2 to 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil (optional)
- Green food dye
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they form a very fine crumb, ensuring there are no large chunks left.
- Mix Ingredients: Transfer the crushed Oreos to a bowl, add the softened cream cheese, and use a spatula to mix thoroughly. Continue until the mixture is uniform with no visible streaks of cream cheese.
- Form Balls: Using a cookie scoop or measuring spoon, portion out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze: Put the tray of Oreo balls into the freezer for at least 20 minutes to firm up and make dipping easier.
- Melt Coating: Melt the green melting wafers according to package instructions. If desired, stir in 1/2 to 1 tablespoon of shortening or coconut oil for a smoother consistency and add green food dye to intensify the color.
- Dip Truffles: Using a fork or dipping sticks, dip each Oreo ball into the melted coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Quickly decorate with sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Set and Serve: Place dipped truffles back on parchment paper and allow the coating to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Using shortening or coconut oil in the melting wafers helps achieve a smoother, shinier coating that’s easier to dip.
- Green food dye enhances the festive look of the coating but can be adjusted to your preference.
- If you don’t have dipping sticks, use a plastic fork with the two middle tines removed for easy handling.
- Freezing the Oreo balls thoroughly before dipping helps the coating adhere better and prevents melting.
