Ingredients

  • 36 vanilla Oreo cookies about 15 oz
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 14 oz white chocolate melts or white candy melts
  • Red oil-based or powdered food coloring optional
  • Sprinkles optional

Instructions
 

  • Line a sheet pan that fits in your fridge or freezer with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place the vanilla Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse in 10-second intervals until you have fine, even crumbs with no large pieces.
  • Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, and mix by hand or with a spoon until a smooth, soft dough forms with no visible streaks of cream cheese.
  • Use a 1.5-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the mixture, then roll each portion between your palms into a smooth ball and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Chill the tray of truffle centers in the freezer for 30 minutes or in the refrigerator for 1 hour, until firm.
  • Place the white chocolate melts in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth, or melt gently in a double boiler over low heat.
  • If coloring the white chocolate, stir in a small drop of red oil-based or powdered food coloring at a time until you reach your desired shade.
  • Working one truffle at a time, place a chilled truffle on a fork, dip it into the melted chocolate, spooning chocolate over the top to coat completely, then tap the fork gently on the edge of the bowl to remove excess coating.
  • Slide the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined sheet and repeat with the remaining truffles, reheating or stirring the chocolate as needed to keep it smooth.
  • If you plan to drizzle a second color or extra chocolate on top, chill the coated truffles for about 10 minutes until the first layer is just set, then drizzle with additional melted chocolate.
  • If adding sprinkles, add them immediately after dipping or drizzling while the chocolate is still wet so they stick.
  • Let the truffles sit at room temperature for about 2 hours, or until the chocolate shell is fully set, then serve or store covered in the refrigerator.

Notes

- Use softened cream cheese at room temperature so it blends smoothly with the Oreo crumbs and prevents lumps.
- Make sure to use oil-based or powdered food coloring, not water-based, to avoid seizing the melted white chocolate.
