Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 36 regular Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips
Decorative Ingredients:
- Valentine-themed sprinkles (pink, red, or heart-shaped)
Instructions
- Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor or by crushing inside a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin.
- Blend Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until the mixture achieves a uniform, velvety consistency.
- Form the combined mixture into compact, round spheres approximately 1-inch in diameter, positioning them carefully on a parchment-lined baking tray.
- Transfer the tray to the freezer for 20-25 minutes, allowing the truffles to solidify and maintain their shape.
- During the chilling period, gently melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe container, stirring at 20-second intervals to prevent scorching and ensure a smooth liquid texture.
- Remove truffles from freezer and delicately immerse each sphere into the molten white chocolate, ensuring complete and even coverage.
- Return chocolate-coated truffles to the parchment sheet, immediately garnishing with romantic red and pink sprinkles before the chocolate crystallizes.
- Allow the truffles to rest at room temperature until the chocolate coating hardens completely, approximately 10-15 minutes.
- Serve and relish these decadent, love-inspired confections perfect for Valentine’s Day celebrations.
Notes
- Ensure Oreos are crushed into fine, uniform crumbs for a smooth truffle texture without lumpy bits.
- Use room temperature cream cheese to blend seamlessly with Oreo crumbs, preventing clumpy or uneven mixture.
- Freeze truffles before dipping to help chocolate coating stick better and create a clean, professional finish.
- Consider dairy-free alternatives like vegan cream cheese or coconut cream for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the truffle’s creamy consistency.
