Creamy, chocolate cheesy Oreo Truffles

Published by Foong at 10:32 am under Recipes, Snacks, Sweet Stuff |

I simply love Oreos. And other than eating them plain, I have come across a recipe for Oreo Truffles a few times before and thought it would definitely be great. So, one day, when the craving strikes, I decided to try making my own Oreo Truffles…

Oreo Truffles

And yes, these aren’t exactly round but of odd shapes…but then who cares? We are eating them and no matter the shape, they are good. Really, really good, if I may say so myself. If you love Oreos and cheese cakes, then these are definitely what you should try!!! These are no normal, plain chocolate truffles I tell you. And it’s pretty easy to make too. No baking required. Just loads of smashing up to do.

Oreo Truffles

Here’s the making of …

Chocolate-covered Cheesy Oreo Truffles

1. First, smash up the Oreos into tiny, teeny pieces or use a food processor to do the work for you, whichever floats your boat.

2. Then, dump in the softened cream cheese and stir to mix well until it is creamy and brown (or again, dump the cheese into the food processor together with the processed cookies and let the machine do it’s magic). Me? I just use the God-given elbow power to do all the work. Since I’m gonna be consuming millions of calories from these babies, I might as well burn up some calories first.

3. Then melt some dark chocolate by popping it into the microwave for a minute or so and then stir.

4. Using a spoon, scoop out the Oreo cream cheese mixture and form into balls. Then dip it into the melted chocolate. You can also dip it in cocoa powder or in those sugar hearts and flowers like I did for some of it. Set it aside on wax paper for the chocolate to set.

And quit thinking that these Oreo Truffles are not even ball-shaped. I know that but I can’t help it okay? It just seem to want to go out of shape. Besides, who cares about the shape when it will end up in your stomach, eh?

After the chocolate has set, you can then place it in containers and then refrigerate it. Once it is fully set and cold, serve as it is. The Oreo Truffles are sweet and salty at the same time and so darn rich, you will absolutely love it! It’s like eating bite-size Oreo cheesecake covered in chocolate. Mmmmm…

Oh, and they aren’t really all that sweet too because I didn’t add sugar and the cream cheese sorta neutralized the sweetness of the Oreos.

Here’s the recipe and simple instructions:

2. Add in the cream cheese and combine really, really well.

3. Melt the chocolate and set aside.

5. Place the chocolate covered balls on wax paper to set and then refrigerate. Ready to serve!

Alternatively, you can pour the whole mixture into a bowl, take a spoon and dig right in, don’t even have to bother with making balls or dipping in chocolate…heheheheeheh…

Oh, yeah. This is NOT a diet food. It is high in calories, high in fat, high in whatever so eat at your own risk!
