Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Chip Cookie Base:
- 2 cups chocolate chip cookies, crushed
- 115 grams (4 ounces) cream cheese, softened
Chocolate Coating:
- 200 grams (7 ounces) dark or milk chocolate, melted
Topping (Optional):
- Sprinkles
- Crushed nuts
- Extra cookie crumbs
Instructions
- Pulverize chocolate chip cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or rolling pin, creating a uniform texture.
- Blend softened cream cheese with cookie crumbs thoroughly, kneading until a cohesive mixture forms that holds together easily.
- Gently shape the mixture into compact, uniform spheres approximately one-inch in diameter, ensuring smooth surfaces without cracks.
- Transfer truffle balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up and enhance structural integrity.
- Melt chocolate using a double boiler or microwave, stirring until completely smooth and glossy with no lumps.
- Carefully immerse each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, using a fork to lift and allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Return chocolate-coated truffles to the parchment sheet, immediately garnishing with optional decorative elements like chopped nuts, cookie crumbs, or sprinkles while chocolate remains wet.
- Refrigerate truffles for an additional 20-30 minutes at 40°F until chocolate coating solidifies completely.
- Serve chilled and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Notes
- Adjust cookie type to accommodate gluten-free diets by using gluten-free chocolate chip cookies or almond flour-based cookies.
- Experiment with different chocolate coatings like white, dark, or milk chocolate to create unique flavor variations.
- Soften cream cheese at room temperature for 30 minutes to ensure smooth, easy mixing without lumps.
- Use a small cookie scoop or melon baller for consistent, perfectly sized truffles that look professionally made.
