Oreo Truffles
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) of Oreo cookies
- 1 package (8 ounces) of cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening
Instructions
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are finely crushed.
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreo cookies with the softened cream cheese until well combined.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 15 minutes to firm up the Oreo balls.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and vegetable shortening. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Using a fork, dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate the Oreo truffles for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Oreo truffles are a delectable treat that originated in the United States. These delightful confections are made by blending Oreo cookies with cream cheese, rolling the mixture into balls, and then dipping them in melted chocolate. The result is a rich, creamy, and indulgent dessert that has become a favorite at parties, potlucks, and holiday gatherings. The exact origins of Oreo truffles are unclear, but they gained popularity in the early 2000s and have since become a beloved sweet treat. Chefs and home cooks alike have put their own spin on the recipe, adding variations such as sprinkles, nuts, or flavored extracts to customize the truffles to their liking. Today, Oreo truffles can be found on the menus of many dessert shops and bakeries across the United States, particularly in the Midwest and Southern regions. They are also a popular homemade treat, with countless recipes and tutorials available online for those who want to try their hand at making them. For the best Oreo truffles, it's essential to use high-quality ingredients, including fresh Oreo cookies and good-quality chocolate for dipping. Some variations of the recipe call for the addition of a flavored liqueur or extract to enhance the truffles' taste, adding an extra layer of complexity to the flavor profile. While the classic Oreo truffle recipe is widely beloved, there are also alternative methods for making this dish. For example, some chefs opt to use white chocolate or colored candy melts for dipping, resulting in a visually stunning and equally delicious variation of the truffles. Whether enjoyed at a local bakery or made at home, Oreo truffles are a delightful indulgence that continues to captivate dessert lovers with their irresistible combination of creamy, chocolaty goodness.
