Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 24 cookies Golden Oreos crushed into fine crumbs
  • 1/4 cup organic coconut oil or butter melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp citrus zest lemon or orange
  • 200 g organic dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate for coating

Equipment

  • Food processor or blender
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet or tray
  • Silicone spatula or spoon
  • Double boiler or microwave-safe bowl
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Place the Golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until you get fine, uniform crumbs—this creates a smooth base for the truffles.
  2. Transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl and add the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, and citrus zest. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until the mixture comes together into a moldable dough.
  3. Use your hands to roll the mixture into small, even-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined tray. Chill the formed balls in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
  4. While the balls chill, melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy. This helps achieve a silky coating for the truffles.
  5. Remove the chilled truffles from the fridge and, using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place back on the parchment paper.
  6. Once all the truffles are coated, let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets and forms a shiny shell—about 20-30 minutes. You can refrigerate briefly to help the coating firm up faster.

Notes

For a festive touch, drizzle with white chocolate or sprinkle with extra citrus zest before the chocolate sets.
