Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreo cookies (33 cookies, not Thins or Double Stuffed)
- 8 ounces brick-style full-fat cream cheese, softened
Chocolate Coating and Decoration
- 16 ounces chocolate almond bark or chocolate melting wafers
- 1/4 cup white chocolate or white candy melts
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Use a food processor to blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Using an electric mixer, blend until the mixture is smooth and easy to roll without any lumps.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop out 1-tablespoon portions of the mixture and roll them into oval shapes. Gently pinch the ends to create the shape of small footballs. Arrange the shaped truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze to Firm Up: Place the shaped truffles in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes to firm up, making them easier to dip in chocolate.
- Melt Chocolate Coating: While the truffles are chilling, melt the chocolate almond bark according to the package instructions until smooth.
- Dip Truffles in Chocolate: Remove the truffles from the freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off, then place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet to set.
- Decorate with White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate or white candy melts and transfer to a piping bag or small zip-top bag with a tiny corner cut off. Pipe laces onto each truffle to resemble football stitching.
- Set and Serve: Let the decorated truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. For faster setting, place them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes. Once firm, the truffles are ready to serve.
Notes
- Using full-fat cream cheese results in a smoother and richer truffle texture.
- Be sure to freeze the truffles prior to dipping; this helps the chocolate coat evenly without melting the truffles.
- Chocolate almond bark or melting wafers make dipping easier and create a shiny finish.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For a fun variation, try drizzling with milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate laces.
