How To Make Funfetti Cream Cheese Oreo Truffles
In a food processor place Oreos and grind them into crumbs. Depending on the size of your food processor, you may need to do this in two batches.
Once you have all the crumbs of the Oreos add in room temperature cream cheese. If cream cheese is not at room temperature, you can microwave it for 20-30 seconds. You just want to make sure that the cream cheese is not hot to the touch or your mixture will come out runny.
Combine the oreo crumbs with the cream cheese. When the dough comes together in a ball, stop combining.
Remove the blade and fold in sprinkles using a spatula.
Using a cookie scoop, scoop the mixture and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.
Place the dough into the freezer for 10-15 minutes until the dough is slightly hardened and the dough has dried out a bit. TIP: You don’t want the mixture to freeze completely.
Microwave white chocolate in a bowl for 30 seconds. Stir and put back in the microwave for another 30 seconds. Stir until all the chips are melted and the chocolate mixture is smooth.
If you are using food coloring, add it at this time. You may need to add food coloring two or three times to achieve the right coloring.
Remove the dough from the freezer. Using both hands, roll each piece of dough into a ball.
Dip into the chocolate mixture and place back on the wax-lined baking sheet. Top the truffle with sprinkles if using.
Allow the chocolate to harden for about 5 minutes and enjoy!
Tips For Making Perfect Funfetti Truffles
- Use Softened Cream Cheese: Make sure your cream cheese is softened to room temperature before mixing it with the crushed Oreos. This will ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture that’s easy to work with.
- Chill the Dough: After forming the truffle balls, refrigerate them for at least 20-30 minutes. This step helps them firm up and makes them easier to dip into the coating without falling apart.
- Melt Candy Coating Slowly: Use a microwave or double boiler to melt your pink candy coating slowly. Overheating can cause the coating to seize up, making it difficult to dip the truffles.
- Use a Toothpick or Fork for Dipping: To get a smooth, even coating, insert a toothpick into the truffle or use a fork to dip it into the melted candy. Let any excess coating drip off before placing the truffle on wax paper.
- Add Sprinkles Quickly: As soon as you dip each truffle, sprinkle the Funfetti on top while the coating is still wet. This ensures that the sprinkles stick well and don’t fall off after the coating hardens.
Variations
- Chocolate-Dipped Funfetti Truffles: Instead of pink candy coating, dip the truffles in melted milk or dark chocolate. The contrast between the chocolate and the colorful Funfetti sprinkles makes for an eye-catching treat.
- Strawberry Funfetti Truffles: Add a few drops of strawberry extract to the cream cheese and Oreo mixture to infuse the truffles with a delicious strawberry flavor. You can also mix in some freeze-dried strawberry powder for an extra fruity punch.
- White Chocolate Funfetti Truffles: Dip the truffles in white chocolate instead of pink candy coating for a more classic look. Add a touch of pink food coloring to the white chocolate for a softer, pastel appearance.
- Funfetti Oreo Truffles with a Crunch: Mix in some crushed cereal, like Rice Krispies or Cornflakes, into the Oreo and cream cheese mixture for a crunchy twist. This adds an extra layer of texture to the creamy truffles.
What To Serve With Oreo Truffles?
Oreo truffles are rich and indulgent, so pairing them with lighter or complementary treats can create a balanced dessert spread. Here are some ideas:
- Fresh Fruit: Serve Oreo truffles with a platter of fresh berries, like strawberries or raspberries. The tartness of the fruit contrasts nicely with the sweetness of the truffles.
- Coffee or Espresso: The bold flavors of coffee or espresso pair beautifully with the rich, chocolatey taste of Oreo truffles, making them an excellent after-dinner treat.
- Vanilla Ice Cream: A scoop of vanilla ice cream alongside Oreo truffles creates a delightful mix of textures and flavors, adding a cool, creamy element to the dessert.
- Whipped Cream: A dollop of lightly sweetened whipped cream can add a light, airy contrast to the dense truffles, making for an elegant presentation.
- Cheese Platter: For a sophisticated twist, serve Oreo truffles alongside a mild cheese platter. The combination of sweet and savory flavors is unexpected and delightful.
FAQ’S
Why Are My Oreo Balls Sticky?
If you used too much cream cheese, this may happen. Also, make sure that you’re not using double-stuffed Oreos as this will be a lot more of the Oreo filling and it won’t be the right ratio for this recipe.
What Is The Easiest Way To Dip Truffles In Chocolate?
You have options! You can balance one on a fork and dip it down into the chocolate. Or you can put a toothpick in the truffle and then dip it into the chocolate that way.
Both will work and both will give the excess chocolate the ability to drizzle back into the bowl without making a mess.
How Long Are Oreo Truffles Good For?
Need another reason to love this simple truffle recipe? As long as you store them correctly, they’ll last for up to 3 weeks in the fridge! Just add them to an airtight container and keep them nice and cool.
Can I Freeze Oreo Truffles?
Yes, you can freeze truffles. I like to wrap them in saran wrap and then add them to a freezer-safe bag. They should stay fresh in the freezer for up to 4 months.
