Ingredients
Truffle Ingredients
- 26 Golden Oreos
- 0.8 ounce bag freeze-dried strawberries
- 5 ounces cream cheese, softened
Coating Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cups white candy melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo-Strawberry Crumbs: Add the Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until they form a fine crumb.
- Reserve Some Crumbs: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture and set aside for sprinkling later.
- Form Truffle Mixture: Add the softened cream cheese to the food processor with the crumbs and pulse until a dough-like ball forms.
- Scoop Truffles: Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop or preferred size, scoop the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper.
- Shape Truffles: Roll each scoop between your hands to form smooth, round balls.
- Melt Coating: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white candy melts and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely melted and smooth.
- Dip Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted candy coating, tapping off any excess by gently tapping the fork on the bowl’s rim.
- Set on Parchment: Use a skewer to place the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle Topping: Quickly sprinkle the reserved Oreo-strawberry crumbs over the coated truffles before the coating sets.
- Refrigerate: Store the finished truffles in the fridge until the coating hardens and they are set for serving.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy blending.
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos finely by hand and crumble the freeze-dried strawberries before mixing.
- Adjust the size of the truffles by varying the scoop size to your liking.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
