Welcome to Food Lovers Blog, your go-to resource for delectable recipes and culinary inspiration!

This easy-to-make, no-bake recipe combines the classic Oreo cookie with creamy delight, wrapped in a luscious chocolate coating. Whether you’re planning a festive gathering or simply craving a sweet indulgence, these Oreo Truffles are sure to impress.

Ingredients List

To make these irresistible Oreo Truffles, gather the following ingredients:

• 1 (14-oz) package of Oreos (approximately 36 cookies)
• 1 (8-oz) package of cream cheese, softened
• 16 ounces of chocolate (white chocolate or semi-sweet)
• Shortening (I use Crisco)

Timing

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Total Time: 50 minutes

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Base

1. Add all 36 Oreos to a food processor or blender. Pulse until they become fine crumbs. If some stubborn pieces remain, stir to break them down. Alternatively, use a ziplock bag and a rolling pin.

Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese

2. Cut the softened cream cheese into several pieces. Ensure it’s soft enough (microwave on power level 1 for a minute or two if needed).
3. Add the cream cheese to the food processor with the Oreo crumbs. Pulse or beat until a soft mixture forms.

Step 3: Shape and Freeze

4. Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands or a cookie scoop. If too soft, chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes.
5. Line up the balls on a baking sheet and freeze until hardened, at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Melt the Chocolate

6. In a medium bowl, melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring after each. Add shortening as needed to achieve a smooth, drizzle-able consistency.

Step 5: Dip the Truffles

7. Dip each frozen Oreo ball in the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Tap off excess chocolate and place on a prepared baking sheet.

Step 6: Decorate and Harden

8. While the chocolate is still warm, sprinkle with Oreo crumbs or sprinkles. Freeze or refrigerate until the chocolate sets.
