WHAT ARE OREO TRUFFLES?

Oreo truffles, also known as Oreo balls or Oreo cookie balls, are an easy but decadent dessert. The chocolate-dipped balls of deliciousness are made from three common ingredients: Oreos and cream cheese for the base, and melted chocolate for the coating.

And then there’s sprinkles or whatever else you’d like for decorating.

They’re great for serving at parties or just as a sweet treat.

WHY SHOULD I USE ROOM TEMP CREAM CHEESE?

The reason you want to use room temp. cream cheese is because it is much easier to work with. At room temperature, the cream cheese will give you a much more smooth, evenly combined mixture than it would if you were using cold cream cheese.

In fact, the first time I ever made truffles, I used the cream cheese right out of the fridge. It was very hard to get it to combine with the crushed Oreos smoothly.

If you forget to let the cream cheese come to room temperature, you can soften it by microwaving it for about 10 to 15 seconds. Just be sure to keep a close eye on it so it doesn’t melt.

HOW TO MAKE VANILLA OREO TRUFFLES

While their name and fancy look may make it seem like they’re an expensive exotic treat, in reality, Oreo truffles are actually extremely simple to make. You simply mix the cream cheese and crushed vanilla Oreos together, roll it into balls, and then chill them before covering in chocolate. Who knew that something SO simple could taste SO good?

HOW DO I STORE WHITE CHOCOLATE OREO TRUFFLES?

If you have any leftover, you can store these Oreo Truffles in the fridge. Just make sure to store them in an airtight container.

Because they contain cream cheese, I wouldn’t leave them out.

When you’re ready to eat them, there is no need to wait for them to come to room temperature. Besides, most people, including myself, think Oreo balls taste best when cold.

HOW LONG WILL WHITE CHOCOLATE OREO TRUFFLES LAST IN THE FRIDGE?

You can store the Golden Oreo truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. In my opinion, they are best if enjoyed within the first day or two but will be safe to eat for up to a week if stored in the fridge.

CAN WHITE CHOCOLATE OROE TRUFFLES BE FROZEN?

Yes! Oreo Truffles freeze well stored in an airtight container for up to 3 months.

I’ll place 5-6 Oreo cookie balls in a row, wrap them in plastic wrap, and then place them in an airtight Ziploc bag for up to 3 months.

When you are ready to eat them, defrost in the refrigerator.

Just so you know, when thawing, some of the chocolate coating may crack due to the temperature change from the freeze to the fridge.

MORE OREO COOKIE BALLS IDEAS

Another thing I love about making Oreo Truffles is that they are versatile in flavor (to an extent) and appearance. This makes them a great treat for any time of the year or any occasion.

Here are some ideas you can use to make variations on any Oreo truffles recipe.

• Use any flavor of Oreo you want.
• Enhance the flavor by adding a few drops of extract such as vanilla or peppermint
• Dip in any color or flavor chocolate you want.
• Use any color sprinkles
• After they’ve been dipped, drizzle with another color chocolate.
• Sprinkle with crushed peppermint, pecan bits, almond bits, etc
