Mint Oreo Truffles (Printable)

Rich chocolate-coated mint Oreo and cream cheese bites, ideal for parties and special occasions.

# What You'll Need:

→ Truffles

01 - 36 mint-flavored Oreo cookies
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

→ Coating

03 - 12 oz dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

→ Garnish (optional)

04 - 2-3 mint Oreo cookies, finely crushed
05 - 1 tbsp white chocolate, melted for drizzling

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside for later use.
02 - Place the mint Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbs for garnish if desired.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Pulse until completely combined into a thick, uniform dough.
04 - Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the balls for 30 minutes until firm enough to handle without losing shape.
06 - Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth.
07 - Using forks, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off before returning to the baking sheet.
08 - Immediately sprinkle with reserved crushed cookies or drizzle with melted white chocolate if using garnish.
09 - Refrigerate truffles for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate coating is completely set.
10 - Serve chilled or bring to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These truffles taste like thin mint cookies met their sophisticated dessert cousin and decided to stay for dinner
  • The no bake situation means your oven stays free for other important things like frozen pizza
02 -
  • The freezing step is absolutely not optional because warm centers will cause your chocolate coating to separate and look terrible
  • Room temperature cream cheese blends into the oreo crumbs smoothly but cold cream cheese leaves you with tiny white specks that won't go away
03 -
  • Wear latex gloves while rolling the balls to prevent the mixture from sticking to your hands and warming up too fast
  • Use a cookie scoop instead of a spoon to get perfectly uniform truffles without all the hand rolling effort
