White Chocolate Oreo Truffles



This was the first batch I made ever.  I made it last year.  I learned my lesson and intead of resting them on a baking rack, I put them on a wax paper lined baking sheet that have been in the freezer to help cool the cream cheese after being dipped in warm melted chocolate


Oh my goodness!  If it wasn't for an email I received asking for the recipe for my White Chocolate Oreo Truffles, I wouldn't have known that I never posted the recipe.  With the picture being on my blog page, I just assumed that I had the recipe on here.  So I dug through my notebooks filled with recipes and found it.  Whew!!!

My apologies...

Makes approximately 40 truffles

1 package Oreo Cookies finely crushed (a little over 4 cups)
1 package Cream Cheese, softened (you can substitute with Nuefchâtel Cheese for less fat)
2 12oz bag White Chocolate chips

Line a baking sheet with wax paper and temporarily store in the freezer while preparing the  ingredients.  In a bowl, mix 3 1/2 cups of crushed cookies and softened cream cheese until well blended.  Using a tablespoon, scoop mixture and form into a ball and set on a platter.  Repeat until there are no more mixture left.  Melt chocolate in a skillet over low heat stirring frequently with a whisk.   Remove chocolate from heat once completely melted.  Remove baking sheet from the freezer.  Using 2 teaspoons, gently dip individual balls in melted chocolate, transfer to baking sheet and  sprinkle truffle tops with remaining crushed cookies.  Refrigerate for at least 1 hour then transfer to an air tight container and keep refrigerated.  Eat as much as you want!

Enjoy!
