Description
Indulge in the rich, velvety texture of Peppermint Oreo Truffles, where the crunch of crushed Oreos meets the smoothness of cream cheese. Each bite bursts with a refreshing mint flavor, perfectly balanced by the sweetness of white chocolate coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- For the Truffles:
- 1 package (15.35 oz) Oreo cookies, crushed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- For the Coating:
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1/2 tsp peppermint extract
- Crushed peppermint candies for garnish
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies and softened cream cheese until well blended.
- Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until firm.
- Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Stir in the peppermint extract into the melted chocolate.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles for an additional 30 minutes to allow the coating to harden.
Notes
- Make-ahead: These truffles can be made up to 3 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
