Ingredients
???? Makes 16 truffles
- 30 Oreo cookies (340g) (use the whole cookie, filling included)
- 3 tbsp (45g) unsalted butter, melted and cooled slightly
- 2 to 5 tbsp milk, as needed
- 8 oz (225g) dark, semi-sweet, or white chocolate (about 1 ½ cups, chopped)
- 1 tsp vegetable oil (optional) (helps with smooth chocolate coating)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Oreo Mixture
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse the Oreos until they form fine crumbs.
- Add melted butter and 2 tbsp milk, then pulse again until the mixture is well-moistened and sticks together when pressed.
- If the mixture is too dry, add more milk, 1 tbsp at a time, until it reaches the right consistency.
2. Shape the Truffles
- Scoop out 1 tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls.
- If the mixture is too sticky to roll, scoop portions onto the parchment-lined tray, then freeze for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
- Chill the rolled truffles in the freezer for at least 15 minutes (this makes them easier to coat in chocolate).
3. Melt the Chocolate
- Melt chocolate using either:
???? Microwave Method: Heat chopped chocolate in 10-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth.
???? Double Boiler Method: Place chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of lightly simmering water. Stir until melted. - If using, stir 1 tsp vegetable oil into the melted chocolate for a smoother coating. Let it cool slightly before dipping.
4. Coat the Truffles
- Drop a chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, tossing to coat.
- Lift with a fork or chocolate dipping tool, gently shaking off excess chocolate.
- Place coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray.
- While the chocolate is still wet, garnish with crushed Oreos, flaky sea salt, or a chocolate drizzle for extra flair.
5. Chill & Serve
- Refrigerate truffles until the chocolate sets (about 15-30 minutes).
- Keep stored in the fridge until ready to serve.
Tips for Perfect Oreo Balls
???? Mixture Too Dry? Add more milk, 1 tbsp at a time, until it sticks together.
???? Too Sticky to Roll? Chill in the fridge for 1 hour or freeze for 10-15 minutes before rolling.
???? Chocolate Too Thick? Add 1 tsp oil to thin it out and make dipping easier.
???? Truffles Melting in Chocolate? Ensure they are very well chilled before dipping.
Storage & Make-Ahead Tips
???? Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Stack with parchment paper between layers if needed.
❄️ Freezer: Freeze for up to 3 months. Let sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
???? Avoid Room Temperature: These truffles soften quickly, so keep them chilled until serving.
Variations & Flavor Ideas
???? Chocolate Choices: Use milk, dark, semi-sweet, or white chocolate.
???? Nutty Twist: Drizzle with melted peanut butter or Nutella.
???? Festive: Sprinkle with crushed candy canes for a holiday treat!
