Delightfully festive no-bake snowman truffles made with golden Oreo cookies, vegan cream cheese, and coated in dairy-free white chocolate. These charming treats are decorated with colored chocolate details and candy scarves, perfect for a fun and easy holiday dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 150g golden Oreo cookies (or plain/gluten-free biscuits)
  • 60g vegan or dairy-free cream cheese

Coating

  • 200g dairy-free white chocolate
  • Black food gel
  • Orange food gel

Decorations

  • Strawberry laces or candy pencils (for the scarf)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Tray: Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and set aside to receive the truffles.
  2. Crush Cookies: Place the golden Oreos into a food processor or blender and pulse until the cookies turn into fine crumbs. Alternatively, crush them with a rolling pin inside a sealed bag.
  3. Mix Truffle Base: Transfer cookie crumbs into a large bowl. Add the vegan cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and holds shape when squeezed.
  4. Shape Snowmen: Weigh out 20g of the mixture and form into a ball. Then roll a smaller 7g ball and place it on top to create a snowman figure. Arrange these on the lined tray.
  5. Freeze Truffles: Place the tray into the freezer for about 20 minutes, or until the truffles feel firm.
  6. Melt White Chocolate: Approximately 5 minutes before removing the truffles, melt the white chocolate using a bain-marie or microwave until fully smooth.
  7. Coat Truffles: Remove the truffles from the freezer. Either insert a toothpick and dunk each snowman into the melted chocolate or balance on a fork and drizzle chocolate over with a spoon to coat evenly. Multiple coats can be applied for thickness, but one is sufficient here.
  8. Set Coated Truffles: Place coated truffles back on the lined tray and return to the freezer for 5 to 10 minutes to firm up the chocolate.
  9. Prepare Decorations: Color leftover white chocolate with black and orange food gel. Transfer each color into separate piping bags with small tips.
  10. Pipe Details: Add carrot noses with orange chocolate, then pipe eyes, mouth, and buttons using black chocolate on each snowman.
  11. Add Scarves: Cut strawberry laces/candy pencils to size and wrap around the snowmen’s necks. Use a small dab of melted white chocolate to secure the scarves if desired.
  12. Final Chill: Return decorated truffles to the freezer for 5 minutes to set decorations firmly.
  13. Serve and Enjoy: Remove from freezer and enjoy these adorable festive no-bake snowman truffles!

Notes

  • Use gluten-free biscuits if you require a gluten-free version.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, cookie crumbs can be crushed by hand or with a rolling pin inside a sealed bag.
  • Dairy-free cream cheese is essential for the truffle base to hold and for the recipe to remain vegan.
  • Melting chocolate carefully over a bain-marie prevents burning and keeps it smooth.
  • You can customize decorations with other colored gels or candies according to preference.
  • Keep truffles refrigerated or frozen to maintain their shape and freshness.
