Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 24 Oreo Cookies (crushed finely)
  • 8 oz (225g) Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 12 oz (340g) White Chocolate or Candy Melts

Optional Ingredients

  • Food Coloring (pastel colors, optional)
  • Sprinkles or Decorations (as desired)

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Start by placing your Oreo cookies in a food processor or a sealed plastic bag and crush them into fine crumbs. This crumbly texture is essential to combine well with the cream cheese.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the crushed Oreos into a bowl and add softened cream cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture forms a smooth, moldable dough-like consistency.
  3. Shape into Egg Forms: Using your hands, scoop small amounts of the mixture and shape them gently into oval egg shapes. Place these onto a parchment-lined tray and chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Prepare the Coating: While the truffle eggs chill, melt your white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in short bursts, stirring until smooth. If desired, add pastel food coloring now to create colorful shells.
  5. Dip and Decorate: Remove the chilled truffle eggs and dip each one carefully into the melted chocolate, covering them completely. Place them back on the parchment paper and immediately decorate with sprinkles or edible glitter before the coating sets.
  6. Let Set and Serve: Allow the dipped truffles to cool at room temperature or in the fridge until the chocolate hardens perfectly. Once set, they are ready to enjoy or package as delightful Easter gifts.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese for easier blending and a smoother mixture.
  • Freeze the shaped truffles briefly (about 15 minutes) before dipping for a cleaner, easier chocolate coating.
  • Thin the melted chocolate with a little vegetable oil if needed to achieve a smoother dip.
  • Work quickly when dipping as chocolate hardens fast; coat and decorate immediately.
  • Store truffles in airtight containers to keep fresh and prevent moisture from dulling the chocolate shell.
