Cook Time 8 hours hrs

Course: Dessert

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients

  

• 1 package classic Oreos
• 1 8 oz. brick cream cheese, softened
• 8 oz. about 2 cups dark or semisweet chocolate chips, melted (*see note below)

Equipment

• 1 2 cup measuring cup
• 1 cookie scoop optional – can also shape by hand
• 1 cookie sheet needs to fit in your freezer
• 1 food processor

Method

 

1. Add the Oreos to a food processor, and pulse until evenly crumbled.
2. Add the cream cheese and pulse until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, stopping to scrape down the sides of the food processor once or twice if needed.
3. (If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos in a large ziplock bag, and then stir/mix in the cream cheese by hand.)
4. Use a favorite scoop to portion the dough into balls. I like the small cookie scoop.Then roll by hand into round or oval shapes.
5. Place the balls on parchment-lined baking sheets, and chill in the freezer until hardened.
6. Once the truffles have chilled, carefully heat the chocolate with a spoonful of coconut oil in a microwave until melted and smooth.
7. Dip the truffle in the melted chocolate, and roll around until it is evenly coated.
8. Transfer the truffle to another parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool. if desired, top with a sprinkle of salt
9. Repeat with remaining truffles.
10. Then transfer to the freezer once more to cool until the chocolate has hardened.
11. Serve immediately or freeze in a sealed container. Allow to warm up a bit before eating, frozen they are hard.

This is a wonderfully easy and fabulous recipe, and a winner when you have to feed guests!

Will keep in the freezer to take out when needed as well.
