5 Ingredient Oreo Truffles
Do you have a dessert guilty pleasure? As a baker, I confess that I often take at least a little bit of pride in the amount of time that I spend developing and making my recipes. Which is why these Oreo Truffles are something of a guilty pleasure for me, because there’s approximately ten minutes of work involved in making them, and that’s it. My sister has been making these Oreo Truffles for years, and somehow I didn’t realize how quickly and easily they could be made until just recently, but they’ve definitely become a fast favorite, and a serious dessert guilty pleasure (just like my 10 minute edible cookie dough!).
How do you Make Oreo Truffles?
The base of these Oreo truffles is… you guessed it Oreos (and cream cheese). I add a splash of vanilla extract for just a touch of extra flavor. You’ll mix it all together, roll it into balls, and then chill them before covering in chocolate. A few notes on the chocolate that I hope you’ll find helpful: I played with a few different kinds of chocolate when working on perfecting this recipe. I tried melted chocolate chips and two different brands of melting wafers. Hands down, the easiest chocolate to use was the Ghirardelli brand melting wafers (they were also the most expensive… of course), which coated the Oreo truffles smoothly and hardened quickly. They were also the least messy. Feel free to use whichever you prefer, but this is my go-to melting chocolate these days, and also what I used for my favorite buckeye recipe (you can see how smoothly they are coated, too).
Tips for Making Oreo Truffles
Another tip that I wanted to mention is to not keep your truffles in the freezer too long before dipping them in chocolate. 15 minutes seems to be just the right amount of time; the Oreo truffles are chilled enough that they are firm and don’t fall apart when you dip them, but if you let them freeze solid then I’ve found that they tend to cause cracks in the chocolate as it hardens. Not the end of the world, but definitely worth noting if you want smooth Oreo truffles! Enjoy! More Oreo Recipes You’ll Love! © SpendWithPennies.com. Content and photographs are copyright protected.
