These Red Velvet Oreo Truffles are a decadent, bite-sized treat combining crushed red velvet Oreos with a creamy cream cheese mixture, all coated in smooth white chocolate and garnished with Oreo crumbs. Perfect for parties, holidays, or anytime you crave something sweet and festive.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Red Velvet Oreos, finely crushed
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 2 tbsp powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 12 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 2 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
- few drops red food coloring (optional, for drizzle)
- 2 tbsp crushed Oreos for garnish
Instructions
- Crush the Red Velvet Oreos into fine crumbs, including the filling, and place them in a large mixing bowl.
- In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy.
- Add the Oreo crumbs to the cream cheese mixture and stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and uniform in texture.
- Cover the mixture and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up for easier handling.
- Using a small spoon or cookie scoop, form the chilled mixture into bite-sized balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Refrigerate the shaped balls for at least 1 hour to set and firm up before coating.
- In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, gently melt the white chocolate chips with coconut oil or shortening until smooth. If desired, stir in a few drops of red food coloring for a festive drizzle overlay.
- Dip each truffle ball into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated, then place back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Sprinkle the coated truffles with crushed Oreos while the chocolate is still wet, then allow them to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the coating hardens completely.
