No-bake Oreo Truffles

These easy no-bake oreo truffles are a great dessert to make as a gift to friends and family, or for yourself! You can get creative with the chocolate dips and toppings.

Most of the time I’d rather make a fresh batch of my own cookies than buy something pre-packaged from the store, but oreos are the golden exception to that rule. It only helps that there’s a ton of stuff you can do with them aside from eat them straight out of the package (and let’s be real, that’s pretty great already).

Truffles are something I always make during the holidays, and rarely throughout the rest of the year. The primary reason being that like any other recipe that requires individual attention for every item, they’re a little time consuming. The same goes for recipes like dumplings or pierogies, that must be individually made. But, these are also the kinds of recipes that are absolutely perfect to make with friends or family, because everyone can sit around a table together and make food. Those are my favorite parties!

What’s remarkable about these oreo truffles is that the inside only has two ingredients, but the way they are ground together, the filling transforms into a very moist, cake-like truffle filling:

It’s a great contrast to the snap of the hard chocolate shell on the outside.

To make the truffles, throw about 25 cookies into a food processor, and chop them up well:

Add a half block of softened cream cheese and process until a big clump forms in the side of the food processor:

That means it’s properly mixed and will hold together well.

Then I used this medium cookie scoop to portion out scoops of the oreo mixture:

Roll each scoop in between the palms of your hands to shape each one into a ball:

Refrigerate the truffles for 15 minutes, then melt some chocolate and dip the truffles:

You can do white chocolate or dark chocolate, and you can do different drizzles and toppings:

Let the chocolate harden before enjoying, and you can expedite that by putting the truffles in the fridge.

Here’s a full video on how to make these, and the recipe is below. Enjoy, my friends!

Total Time:45 minutes

These easy no-bake oreo truffles are a great dessert to make as a gift to friends and family, or for yourself! You can get creative with the chocolate dips and toppings.

Ingredients:

• 25 oreo cookies
• 4oz cream cheese, softened
• 1/2 cup chopped white chocolate, for dipping
• 1/2 cup chopped dark chocolate, for dipping
• assorted sprinkles, for decoration

Directions:

1. Pulse the oreos in a food processor until crushed into small crumbs, then add the cream cheese and process until you get a big balled clump on one side that looks very shiny. Use a medium cookie scoop to portion the mixture into 1 inch balls, then put the truffles on parchment paper and refrigerate for 15 minutes.
2. Place each kind of chocolate in small, microwaveable bowls, and microwave in 30 second intervals until melted. Dip each truffle in whatever chocolate you desire, then place back onto the parchment paper. Decorate with sprinkles, if desired. Wait to enjoy until the chocolate has hardened, either by letting it set at room temperature or by putting the truffles in the fridge. Enjoy!
