Classic Chocolate Truffles with Oreos

By MaryEllen

Some of the most popular truffle recipes I’ve seen floating around the web have been those featuring ground Oreo cookies. So for this batch, I veered away from the control recipe’s ingredient list and the only two ingredients I used were eighteen whole Oreo cookies and four ounces of room temperature cream cheese.

Preparation

Step 1

In the bowl of a mini food processor, I pulsed the cookies until finely ground then added the cream cheese and pulsed until combined. I chilled the mixture until firm then shaped into balls and followed the rest of the control recipe’s method.

This batch was by far the easiest to make and work with.
The finished truffles had a completely different texture to all the other batches—they were almost grainy (but in a pleasant way) and overall more substantial in mouthfeel than the others. They ended up being my favorite, which surprised me a little, because they weren’t as decadently rich as some of the other batches.
