Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- Green food coloring (as desired)
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- Red sprinkles or decorative topping (for finishing)
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, blend the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.
- Mix in Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. Mix well until fully combined and the mixture is smooth.
- Add Color: Incorporate green food coloring into the mixture. Adjust the amount to achieve your desired shade of green.
- Form the Balls: Using your hands, scoop out small portions of the mixture (about one tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Truffles: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30-45 minutes to let the truffles firm up.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in increments of 30 seconds, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip the Truffles: Once the truffles are firm, dip each one into the melted white chocolate. Gently shake off any excess chocolate.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle red sprinkles or your desired decoration on top before the chocolate sets.
- Let Set: Allow the chocolate to cool and set completely on the parchment paper.
Notes
- Feel free to adjust the amount of green food coloring to get the desired shade.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- These truffles can be made a day in advance for convenience.
