Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 1 package (14.3 oz) golden Oreos, crushed into fine crumbs
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1/2 teaspoon orange extract
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Coating and Garnish
- 12 oz white chocolate or white candy melts (for coating)
- Optional: orange sanding sugar or sprinkles for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare Oreo Crumbs: In a food processor, blend the golden Oreos until they form fine crumbs, ensuring a smooth base for the truffles.
- Mix Ingredients: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a bowl and combine with softened cream cheese, orange zest, orange extract, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix thoroughly until a smooth, dough-like mixture forms.
- Form Truffles: Scoop the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
- Freeze Truffles: Freeze the truffles for 20–30 minutes or until they are firm enough for coating.
- Melt Coating: While the truffles chill, melt the white chocolate or candy melts according to package instructions, ensuring a smooth and even coating.
- Coat Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, tapping off excess coating before placing back on the parchment-lined tray.
- Garnish and Set: Immediately sprinkle with orange sanding sugar or sprinkles if desired, then refrigerate for about 15 minutes until the coating sets.
Notes
- Use gel food coloring to tint the white chocolate orange for a bright, festive look.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- These truffles make a fantastic gift or a refreshing summer party treat.
