Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb 4 oz (567 g) oreo cookies
- 8 oz (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz (226 g) white chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips
- 8 oz (226 g) semisweet chocolate almond bark or chocolate chips
- milk chocolate candy melts
- white chocolate candy melts
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- christmas sprinkles for decoration
- red food coloring
- green food coloring
Instructions
- Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor, creating a consistent powdery texture perfect for truffle formation.
- Mixing: Blend softened cream cheese and vanilla extract with cookie crumbs, kneading until a seamless, pliable dough emerges that holds together effortlessly.
- Chilling: Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes, allowing the consistency to stabilize and become more manageable for precise shaping.
- Forming: Craft uniform truffle spheres by scooping and rolling the chilled mixture between palms, creating smooth, symmetrical orbs with gentle pressure.
- Freezing: Position truffles on a parchment-lined tray and freeze for 20 minutes to ensure structural integrity during the chocolate dipping process.
- Chocolate Coating: Melt white, milk, and semisweet chocolates in microwave-safe bowls, stirring meticulously to achieve a glossy, smooth liquid consistency.
- Decorative Preparation: Divide white chocolate into three portions, tinting one forest green and another festive red while preserving the original white hue.
- Dipping and Decorating: Submerge each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, allowing excess to cascade off, then artfully adorn with holiday sprinkles and colored candy melt drizzles.
- Setting: Allow truffles to solidify completely at room temperature or within the refrigerator until the chocolate coating becomes firm and glossy.
Notes
- Chill for Perfect Shape: Refrigerate the mixture for 15 minutes to make handling and shaping truffles easier, preventing sticky and messy preparation.
- Melt Chocolate Carefully: Use microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently to avoid burning and achieve a smooth, glossy chocolate coating for professional-looking truffles.
- Use Parchment Paper: Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of truffles during freezing and chocolate coating stages.
- Handle with Clean Hands: Keep hands slightly damp while rolling truffles to create smooth, uniform spheres and prevent excessive sticking during the shaping process.
