Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo Cookies (about 300g or 10.5 oz), crushed finely
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1/2 cup (75g) red, white, and blue sprinkles
- Optional: pinch of sea salt
- Optional: 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place 36 Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush in a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin until finely ground but not powdery. (5 minutes)
- Mix with cream cheese: Transfer crumbs to a medium bowl. Add 8 oz softened cream cheese and mix until fully combined into a dough-like consistency. Add more cream cheese if too dry. (5 minutes)
- Shape the truffles: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for about 30 minutes to firm up. (10 minutes + chilling)
- Melt the white chocolate: Melt 12 oz white chocolate chips in 15-second intervals in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between each, until smooth. Or melt gently using a double boiler. Avoid overheating. (5-7 minutes)
- Coat the truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into melted white chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let excess drip off and place back on parchment. Immediately sprinkle with red, white, and blue sprinkles while coating is wet. (15 minutes)
- Chill to set: Return coated truffles to the fridge for at least 1 hour to allow chocolate to harden and flavors to meld.
Notes
Use softened cream cheese for best texture. Crush Oreos finely for smooth truffles. Melt white chocolate carefully to avoid seizing. Dip and sprinkle quickly while chocolate is wet. Chill before and after coating for best results. For vegan/dairy-free, use dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate. Gluten-free Oreos can be used for gluten-free version.
