Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 oreo cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 16 ounces (454 grams) white chocolate
Decoration Ingredients:
- Green and red sprinkles
Optional Add-ins:
- Crushed candy canes
Instructions
- Transform Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor, ensuring the filling remains integrated for optimal binding.
- Transfer the pulverized Oreos to a spacious mixing vessel and incorporate softened cream cheese, blending thoroughly until a uniform consistency emerges.
- Utilize a small scoop or spoon to craft compact, spherical formations, arranging them methodically on a parchment-lined tray.
- Relocate the tray to the freezer, allowing the nascent truffles to solidify for approximately 15-20 minutes.
- Gently immerse each chilled truffle into melted white chocolate, employing a fork to facilitate excess chocolate drainage and ensure an elegant coating.
- While the chocolate remains liquid, embellish the truffles with festive red and green holiday sprinkles or finely crushed candy canes, creating a vibrant seasonal aesthetic.
- Transfer the adorned truffles to the refrigerator, permitting the chocolate coating to completely set and solidify for roughly 45-60 minutes.
- Once fully stabilized, transfer the truffles to a decorative serving platter, ready to delight holiday guests with their rich, creamy texture and festive appearance.
Notes
- Crush Oreos thoroughly to ensure a smooth, consistent texture that helps truffles hold together perfectly.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a more uniform blend with Oreo crumbs.
- Keep hands slightly damp when rolling balls to prevent sticky mixture from clinging to fingers and create smoother truffles.
- Quickly decorate with festive sprinkles immediately after dipping in chocolate to ensure they stick before coating hardens.
