Description
Mint Oreo Truffles are a delicious no-bake dessert made with crushed mint Oreos, cream cheese, and a chocolate coating. They are rich, creamy, and perfect for holiday treats or gifting.
Ingredients
- 1 package (15.25 oz) Mint Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (for coating)
- 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
- Crushed mint candies or extra cookie crumbs (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Place the Mint Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the processor and blend until fully combined into a sticky dough.
- Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the truffle balls for about 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the chocolate chips (with coconut oil if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Dip each frozen truffle into the melted chocolate, using a fork to tap off the excess, and place back on the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle crushed mint candy or cookie crumbs on top if desired before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the coated truffles for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate hardens.
- Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- You can use regular Oreos and add 1/2 tsp peppermint extract for a mint flavor.
- Use white chocolate for a different coating option.
- These truffles can be frozen for up to 2 months.
