Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 25 Oreo Thins cookies (half of a 13.1 oz. package)
- 4 ounces cream cheese (room temperature)
- ⅔ cup Nutella
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Chocolate Coating & Garnish
- 10 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers (Ghirardelli brand recommended)
- Chocolate sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Tray: Line a small rimmed baking tray with parchment paper and set aside to hold the truffles once formed.
- Crush Oreo Cookies: Place the Oreo Thins cookies into a food processor and pulse for 1-2 minutes until very fine cookie crumbs are formed.
- Mix Truffle Ingredients: Add cream cheese, Nutella, and salt to the cookie crumbs in the food processor. Pulse for another 1-2 minutes until the mixture forms a smooth, combined ball.
- Chill Mixture: Remove the bowl and blade from the processor, cover the nutella truffle mixture, and refrigerate for 30-45 minutes until firm enough to shape.
- Form Truffle Balls: Using a 1½ inch or tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, scoop mixture and roll into balls with your hands. Place the balls onto the prepared baking tray.
- Chill Truffles: Refrigerate the tray of truffle balls for 1 to 1½ hours, or until they are firm and hold their shape well.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the milk chocolate wafers in a small bowl following package instructions, ensuring the chocolate is smooth and ready for dipping.
- Dip Truffles: Using a large fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it evenly. Lift out to allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Garnish and Set: Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined tray and sprinkle with chocolate sprinkles. Repeat for all truffles. Optionally, refrigerate for 5-10 minutes to harden the chocolate coating or allow to set at room temperature.
Notes
- Make sure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother consistency.
- You can swap milk chocolate wafers with dark or white chocolate according to preference.
- Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For an extra festive touch, try rolling the truffles in crushed nuts or cocoa powder instead of chocolate sprinkles.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size to ensure even chilling and coating.
- Ensure melted chocolate is not too hot when dipping to avoid melting the truffle centers.
