What are Oreo truffles made of?

You can make this easy dessert recipe with only 3 ingredients: crushed Oreos, melted white chocolate and softened cream cheese. Yup! that simple!

3 delicious and simple ingredients for an amazingly tasting dessert that’s extremely easy to make.

How do you crush Oreos without a food processor?

When you need to crush Oreos but you don’t have a food processor at hand, you can just place all of your Oreos in a closed ziplock bag, then bang or roll a rolling pin over the cookies until they’re crushed as much as you need them to be.

Why are my Oreo balls oily?

When rolling your Oreo balls, they will look oily, and that’s perfectly normal. When the truffle filling is a bit warm, the cream cheese and Oreo release a bit of oil and the Oreo cream cheese balls may seem oily. This will disappear as soon as you pop them into the freezer

Ingredients you’ll need for these 3-ingredient Oreo truffles

You’ll need only 3 simple ingredients to make this easy recipe:

• Oreo Cookies. You can use any chocolate-creme sandwich cookies of your choice
• Cream Cheese. This will be the “glue” to your truffles
• White Chocolate. White chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate bars. You can also use white candy melts, but I always opt for good quality chocolate, since there are only 3 ingredients, the quality of the ingredients stands out more easily.

Take a look at the recipe card at the bottom of this post for exact quantities.

How do you make Oreo truffles?

There are just a few easy steps to make these chocolatey truffles:

First, prepare a baking sheet with wax paper and set aside

Second, crush your Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a rolling pin. Scoop out 2 Tablespoons of the cookie crumbs and set them aside

Then, add the full-fat cream cheese and mix until a thick paste is formed. Using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon, measure the mixture and use your hands to shape them into small balls. Place them in the cookie sheet and freeze for 30 minutes.

While the balls are in the freezer, place the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and melt the white chocolate in the microwave, in 30-second intervals, or use a double boiler and use the water bath method. Take a look at my post Melting Chocolate 101 for more information on how to properly melt the chocolate.

Remove the balls from the freezer. Start by sinking your truffle into the melted chocolate until fully covered, then slide the edge of a fork under the truffle and lift it up. Tap into the edge of the bowl and slide the bottom of the fork into the edge of the bowl to get rid of the excess chocolate. Use a toothpick to slide the truffle out of the fork and into the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the top of the truffle immediately with the remaining cookie crumbs.

Lastrly, refrigerate for 30 minutes until the chocolate shell is completely set and serve immediately.

Can Oreo balls be left out?

These delicious Oreo truffles have cream cheese in them, which is why they are better kept in the refrigerator when not being served.

Not only they could potentially go bad if kept in a very warm place, but they start to get soft and crumbly.

How long will Oreo truffles keep in the refrigerator?

These cookie truffles are better kept in the refrigerator, just until ready to serve. They will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

Can Oreo Truffles be frozen?

Yes! We know how hectic Christmas time or the Holiday season can get, and this is a great make-ahead treat.

You can make these Easy Oreo truffles and freeze them in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

Make sure you place a piece of parchment paper between each layer of truffles to avoid them from sticking together.

Substitutions and Add-ins
