Oreo Cream Cheese Truffles



These truffles are the most low effort, low cost, high impact dessert I've personally ever encountered.  Even though they have to spend a couple hours in the freezer, they only have three ingredients and are incredibly easy to make.   The sprinkles fancy things up a bit, but you could easily cover these in peanuts, candy or even drizzle them with more white chocolate.




Put entire box of Oreos into a bowl and crush into dust.   Try not to leave any chunks, as they'll result in chunks in your truffles. 




If you're lucky like me, you can use your food processor to grind the cookies into dusty chunks. 




Add cream cheese to crushed Oreos.  Make sure the cream is softened or mixing it in will be MUCH more difficult. 




Using electric mixer, mix cream cheese and Oreo crumbs until completely blended into a smooth, sticky mass.  If you're having problems, use the mixer to get you started but then mash it together using your hands.   Once well mixed, form into small balls approximately 2-3cm across.  Put balls in the freezer for 1-2 hours or until hard and frozen.




Melt chocolate chips in a double boiler.  Once chocolate is smooth, remove from heat and dip each ball, covering it completely.  It's easiest to use two forks for maximum coverage.  Put finished balls on a baking sheet covered in tin foil.  Add any sprinkles or decorations you wish.
