Ingredients
- 14 ounces regular Oreos
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 10 ounces white melting wafers
- 1 tablespoon shortening
- ¼ cup dark cocoa melting wafers optional
Instructions
- Line a baker’s half sheet with parchment paper.
- Pulse Oreo cookies, complete with filling, in a food processor until you achieve a fine crumb.
- Reserve ¼ cup Oreo crumbs from the food processor and set aside for later.
- Add the room-temperature cream cheese and vanilla to cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse until fully incorporated.
- Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to measure out 21 equal-sized portions. Roll into balls by hand and place on the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze the Oreo truffle balls until slightly hardened. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
- Melt shortening and wafers 30 seconds at a time until melted. Stir well between each interval.
- Dip hardened truffles into melted wafer mixture. Turning with a fork until well coated.
- Immediately return to the prepared baking sheet and top with Oreo crumbles and optional dark chocolate drizzle.
- Allow truffles to sit at room temperature to harden.
Notes
- A baker’s half sheet is approximately 17×12 in size.
- If you don’t own a food processor, you can place the Oreos in a large Ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin. You will want to make sure the bag is completely sealed.
- Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it blends well and doesn’t leave lumps in the truffle mixture.
If your food processor does not fully incorporate the cream cheese and - Oreo cookie crumbs, you can finish mixing by hand.
- Don’t skip the chilling time! The chilled balls will be much easier to work with than ones at room temperature.
