Gold Shimmer Oreo Truffles

These Oreo truffles are bite-sized desserts made from crushed Oreos blended with cream cheese to form a smooth mixture. They are rolled into balls and coated with melted white chocolate, then finished with edible gold shimmer for a festive, sparkling appearance. The final texture is creamy and rich with a crunchy, shiny coating.

Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 pieces Oreo cookies crushed into fine crumbs
  • 8 oz Cream cheese softened
  • 12 oz White chocolate melting wafers or chopped couverture
  • 1-2 tsp Edible gold shimmer dust for topping

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Silicone spatula
  • Small spoon or cookie scoop
  • Food safe gold shimmer dust

Method
 

  1. Place the Oreo cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin or a food processor.
  2. Transfer the crushed Oreos into a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly with a silicone spatula until the mixture is smooth, dense, and holds together when pressed.
  3. Use a small spoon or cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll it between your palms into uniform balls. Place each ball onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, then chill in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes for the mixture to firm up.
  4. While the truffles chill, melt the white chocolate in a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy. Be careful not to overheat it.
  5. Remove the chilled truffles from the refrigerator and dip each one into the melted white chocolate, using a fork or toothpick to help coat evenly. Gently tap off excess chocolate and place the coated truffles back onto the parchment paper.
  6. Once all the truffles are coated and set, dust them lightly with edible gold shimmer dust to give them a sparkling, festive finish. Use a clean brush or shaker to evenly distribute the shimmer.
  7. Allow the coated truffles to sit at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until the chocolate hardens completely and the shimmer is set. They are now ready to serve as a beautiful holiday treat.

Notes

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For an extra festive touch, you can add colored sprinkles or additional shimmer dust.
