OREO TRUFFLES

You only need three ingredients to make these gorgeous Truffles. Crushed Oreo cookies mixed with tangy cream cheese and dipped in chocolate.*drools* ANOTHER BUCKET LIST WOrthY RECIPE 😋👌🏻

I remember when I first made these chocolate truffles. It was actually quiet a few years ago for one of my parties. I lined them all up on a plate, proud as punch at my efforts. I was relatively new to baking back then so I thought I was pretty clever. No one else knew just how easy they were to make. Then I watched in awe as they were the first dish, of a very impressive spread, to disappear. Everyone LOVED them.

So even though I have shared this recipe with a lot of my friends , I wanted to post it on the blog as well, as its one of the most highly requested recipe…. with some new photos because they are not to be missed!

Even after years of madly baking desserts, I couldn’t think of any way to make these gorgeous truffles any better. They really are THAT good. Tangy cream cheese, crushed Oreos and melted chocolate. That’s it. There are no secrets here. Just three divine ingredients that combine to make some kind of truffle heaven.

This recipe makes approximately 25 truffles, depending on the size you make, but I’m warning you now, if you’re planning on taking these anywhere, consider doing a double batch. I know I will be next time I make them. I mean, I just ate 3. You HAVE to double this recipe if you want to leave the house with a full batch intact, ok?

I also have tried making a red velvet version of this….and OMG….sooo good. Just substitute the normal Oreo cookie with their red velvet flavor. I am inserting a picture for reference and its available in Dubai at choithrams.

INGREDIENTS

450grams (about 48 cookies ) Oreo biscuits

250 grams (1/2 cup) full fat cream cheese, room temperature…I use Philadelphia

250 grams (1 and 1/3 cup) semi sweet chocolate chips….1/4 cup vegetable oil

INSTRUCTIONS

Line two baking trays with baking paper and set aside. Grab your food processor and add all the Oreo cookies (cream filling and all). Whiz until they resemble fine crumbs.

Add cream cheese and whizz again. Roll the mixture into small balls using your hands and place onto one of your prepared trays. Pop in the fridge for 30 minutes.

Add chocolate to a heat -safe bowl and heat on a double boiler on the stove, until melted and smooth.You can add the oil now to give a smoother texture.

Grab your truffles from the fridge. Use a fork to dip each truffle in melted chocolate. Gently place onto prepared tray. Continue with remaining truffles, then place in the fridge to set for 15 minutes. Decorate however you wish. I usually sprinkle over crushed Oreo cookies but this time I went a little fancy and used melted white chocolate and drizzled on top.

NOTES

Store chocolate truffles in the fridge.
