Cookies & Cream Truffle Bites

These Cookies & Cream Truffle Bites are rich, creamy, and coated in a smooth chocolate shell. Made with just a handful of ingredients and no baking required, they're perfect for holiday platters, parties, or anytime you need an easy make-ahead dessert.

Ingredients
  

  • * 36 chocolate sandwich cookies such as Oreos
  • * 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • * 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate milk chocolate, or candy melts
  • * 2 tablespoons crushed cookie crumbs for garnish (optional)
  • * Sprinkles or chocolate drizzle for decorating (optional)

Method
 

  1. Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese and process until a thick dough forms and the mixture is fully combined.
  3. Scoop the mixture into 24 equal portions and roll into balls.
  4. Arrange the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes.
  5. Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth.
  6. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating completely.
  7. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Immediately sprinkle with crushed cookies or decorations if desired.
  9. Refrigerate until the chocolate coating is fully set.
  10. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

* Full-fat cream cheese provides the smoothest texture.
* Chilling the truffles before dipping helps prevent them from falling apart.
* White chocolate, dark chocolate, or colored candy melts all work well for coating.
* Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
* These truffles can be frozen for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.
* For extra cookies-and-cream flavor, mix a few tablespoons of cookie crumbs into the melted chocolate drizzle.
