Oreos and White Chocolate Truffles
Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them into very fine crumbs using a rolling pin or the bottom of a heavy glass.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened white chocolate and melted butter, stirring until well mixed and a thick dough forms.
- Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms into a smooth ball; repeat with the remaining mixture, placing the formed balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Pop the tray into the refrigerator and chill for about 20 minutes, allowing the truffles to firm up and become easier to coat.
- While the truffles chill, melt additional white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy.
- Once firm, dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, turning to coat completely, then place back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed Oreos on top of the coated truffles while the chocolate is still wet, pressing gently so they adhere.
- Allow the coated truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate for another 10 minutes until the chocolate is firm and shiny.
- Arrange the finished truffles on a serving plate, and enjoy these delightful treats once the coating is completely set, revealing a crisp exterior and creamy interior.
