OMG! Recipe for Oreo Truffles That Are SOOO GOOD!
I went to my grandson's Tee Ball game last night and it was the final one of the season. After the game all the parents and kids gathered for a small pizza party. One of the moms made Oreo Truffles that were decorated like baseballs.These are so yummy I am definitely making these soon. The best part is no baking is involved!
Ingredients
- 1 lb Oreo cookies ( 3 sleeves)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract ( using different extracts allows for subtle flavour changes...I've used mint extract, upped to 1 tsp) (optional)
- 1 lb milk chocolate
- 1/2 lb white chocolate
Directions
- Using a food processor, grind cookies to a fine powder. With a mixer, blend cookie powder, cream cheese and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed (there should be no white traces of cream cheese).
- Roll into small balls and place on wax-lined cookie sheet. Refrigerate for 45 minutes.
- Line two cookie sheets with wax paper. In double-boiler, melt milk chocolate. Dip balls and coat thoroughly. With slotted spoon, lift balls out of chocolate and let excess chocolate drip off. Place on wax-paper-lined cookie sheet.
- In separate double boiler, melt white chocolate. Using a fork, drizzle white chocolate over balls. Let cool.
- Store in airtight container, in refrigerator.
Note: When I am exceedingly lazy (most often the case these days), I forego the chocolate 'dip' and merely roll my truffles into various mixtures - chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles, vari-coloured candy sprinkles, cocoa powder, chocolate shavings, coloured sugars -- still pretty -- less work.
