Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 36 Oreo Cookies (use gluten-free Oreos if preferred)
- 8 oz full-fat Cream Cheese, softened
Coating and Decoration
- 12 oz White Chocolate
- Sprinkles or Edible Eyes for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Pulse Oreo Cookies: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs, resembling coarse sand, ensuring no large chunks remain.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth, homogenous, and easy to shape.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop portions of the mixture and roll them between your palms to form smooth balls. Shape each slightly to resemble ghosts for a whimsical Halloween effect.
- Chill the Truffles: Arrange the ghost-shaped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for about 15 minutes to help them firm up before coating.
- Melt White Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate in short 20-30 second bursts using a microwave, stirring well between each interval until fully smooth and silky.
- Coat the Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure it is completely covered. Allow excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Decorate: Immediately before the white chocolate sets, add sprinkles or place edible eyes on each ghost to create fun, spooky faces.
- Set the Coating: Let the coated truffles sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the white chocolate hardens completely, giving the truffles a crisp outer shell.
Notes
- For a richer taste, use full-fat cream cheese.
- If desired, substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for different flavors.
- Use gluten-free Oreos to make this recipe gluten-free.
- Keep truffles refrigerated if not serving immediately to maintain freshness.
- Handle truffles gently when dipping to keep their ghost shapes intact.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
