Oreo Truffles Ingredients

- 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
Substitutions and Additions
OREOS: There are plenty of fun flavors beyond the classic Oreo that you can choose for this no-bake treat. How about peppermint Oreos for the Christmas season or lemon Oreos in the spring?
CANDY CANES: If you are going the peppermint route, you could mix ½ cup of crushed candy canes into your mixture
How to Make Oreo Truffles
STEP ONE: Line a baker’s half sheet with parchment paper.
PRO TIP: A baker’s half sheet is approximately 17×12 in size.
STEP TWO: Pulse Oreo cookies, complete with filling, in a food processor until you achieve a fine crumb.
PRO TIP: 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.
STEP THREE: Reserve ¼ cup Oreo crumbs from the food processor, and set aside for later.
PRO TIP: Make sure your cream cheese is at room temperature so that it blends well and doesn’t leave lumps in the truffle mixture.
STEP FOUR: Add room temperature cream cheese and vanilla to cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse until fully incorporated.
PRO TIP: If your food processor does not fully incorporate the cream cheese and Oreo cookie crumbs, you can finish mixing by hand.
STEP FIVE: 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.
STEP SIX: Freeze the Oreo truffle balls until slightly hardened. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes.
PRO TIP: Don’t skip the chilling time! The chilled balls will be much easier to work with than ones at room temperature.
STEP SEVEN: Melt shortening and wafers 30 seconds at a time until melted. Stir well between each interval.
STEP EIGHT: Dip hardened truffles into melted wafer mixture. Turning with a fork until well coated.
STEP NINE: Immediately return to the prepared baking sheet and top with Oreo crumbles and optional dark chocolate drizzle.
STEP TEN: Allow truffles to sit at room temperature to harden.
