Ingredients:

  • standard package (400g) Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (Oreos), whole
  • oz (226g) Full-Fat Cream Cheese, softened
  • oz (340g) High-Quality Chocolate (Semi-sweet, milk, or mix), chopped or chips
  • Tablespoon Coconut Oil or Vegetable Shortening (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Place all whole chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor and pulse until very fine, uniform crumbs are achieved.
  2. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese.
  3. Using a sturdy spoon or clean hands, mix the cream cheese and crumbs thoroughly until a uniform, stiff dough forms, ensuring no white streaks of cream cheese remain.
  4. Cover the dough mixture and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Remove dough from the fridge. Use a small scoop or spoon to portion the mixture, rolling each portion tightly between your palms into a 1-inch ball. Place rolled balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Place the tray of balls into the freezer for 10–15 minutes to freeze briefly.
  7. While balls are firming, melt the chopped chocolate (and optional coconut oil) in a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and glossy.
  8. Working quickly, dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Tap gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess coating.
  9. Return the coated truffles to the parchment-lined sheet. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is completely set.
