Full Recipe:

Ingredients:

Oreo White Cream Cookies: 25 cookies
Cream Cheese: 90g

White Chocolate: 200g
Vegetable Oil (grape seed or canola): 30g
Pink Chocolate: 50g (for drizzle)

Milk Chocolate: 200g (for coating)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Preparing the Oreo Filling

Crush the Oreo Cookies:
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
Mix with Cream Cheese:
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the cream cheese. Use a spoon or spatula to thoroughly blend the ingredients together until you have a smooth, dough-like consistency.

Shape into Balls:
Take a small amount of the Oreo mixture (about 1 tablespoon) and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat the process with the remaining mixture until you have approximately 20-25 balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill the Truffles:
Once all the truffles are formed, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes to firm up. This step is important to ensure the balls hold their shape when coated with chocolate.

Step 2: Coating the Truffles in Chocolate

Melt the White Chocolate:
Break the white chocolate into small pieces and melt it in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method). Stir constantly until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Add the vegetable oil to the melted white chocolate to give it a shiny, smooth finish.

Dip the Truffles in White Chocolate:
Remove the chilled Oreo balls from the refrigerator. Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated truffles back on the parchment paper.
Melt the Milk Chocolate:
While the white chocolate sets, melt the milk chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in short 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until fully melted.
Dip in Milk Chocolate (Optional):
If you prefer a mix of chocolate coatings, you can dip some of the truffles in the melted milk chocolate instead of white chocolate. This adds variety in both flavor and appearance.

Step 3: Decorating the Truffles

Drizzle with Pink Chocolate:
Melt the pink chocolate in the same manner as the other chocolates. Using a small spoon or piping bag, drizzle the melted pink chocolate over the white or milk chocolate-coated truffles to create a decorative finish.
Allow the Chocolate to Set:
Let the truffles sit at room temperature or place them in the fridge for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to fully set.

Cooking Tips:

Chilling the Truffles: Make sure to refrigerate the Oreo balls before dipping them in chocolate. This helps them stay firm and maintain their shape when coated.

Chocolate Coating: If the chocolate is too thick, you can add a little more vegetable oil to thin it out, making it easier to coat the truffles smoothly.
Decorations: Feel free to add additional toppings like sprinkles, crushed nuts, or edible glitter for an extra touch of fun and flavor.

Storage:

Refrigeration: Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days.

Freezing: These truffles can also be frozen for up to 3 months. To freeze, place them in a single layer on a baking sheet before transferring them to a freezer-safe bag. Thaw them in the fridge when ready to serve.
Serving Tip: These truffles taste best when slightly chilled but not too cold, so remove them from the fridge about 10 minutes before serving.

FAQs:

Can I use other types of cookies for this recipe?
Yes, you can substitute the Oreo cookies with other flavored sandwich cookies or even chocolate chip cookies for a different taste. However, the white cream in Oreo adds a special sweetness that may not be replicated with other cookies.
What if I don’t have pink chocolate?
If you don’t have pink chocolate, you can skip this step or use colored candy melts as an alternative for decoration. You can also stick with simple white or milk chocolate for the coating.

Can I use dark chocolate instead of milk or white chocolate?
Absolutely! Dark chocolate would work just as well and will provide a richer, slightly bitter contrast to the sweetness of the Oreo and cream cheese mixture.
Can I make these truffles ahead of time?
Yes, these truffles are great for making ahead of time. You can prepare and refrigerate them for a week or freeze them for longer storage, making them a convenient option for parties or events.
Why do I need to add vegetable oil to the chocolate?
The vegetable oil helps thin out the chocolate, making it smoother and easier to work with. It also gives the truffles a shinier finish.
