Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo sandwich cookies (about 14 ounces / 400 grams)
- 8 ounces (225 grams) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1 teaspoon mint extract
- 12 ounces (340 grams) green chocolate candy melts or white chocolate with green food coloring
- Optional toppings: crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or edible glitter
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos in a food processor until fine crumbs, about 30 seconds. Alternatively, crush in a sealed bag with a rolling pin until finely ground.
- Transfer Oreo crumbs to a medium bowl. Add softened cream cheese and 1 teaspoon mint extract. Mix until fully combined and smooth, about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overmixing.
- Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, form mixture into 1-inch (2.5 cm) balls. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the green chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Avoid overheating.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted green chocolate using a fork or dipping tool, letting excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper.
- Before chocolate sets, optionally sprinkle crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or edible glitter on top.
- Chill dipped truffles in the fridge for 15-20 minutes until chocolate is firm and glossy.
- Serve chilled or at cool room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese for best texture. Avoid overmixing the filling. Melt chocolate in short bursts to prevent burning. Chill truffles before dipping to prevent falling apart. If chocolate thickens, gently reheat. Vegan and gluten-free adaptations possible with ingredient swaps.
