My love for Heart Oreo Truffles stems from childhood memories. Every Valentine's Day, my grandma would whip up a batch using simple ingredients. The process was a family affair, and the result was always a batch of delicious truffles we looked forward to. Now, these Heart Oreo Truffles are my way of keeping that tradition alive… and impressing my kids with my baking skills!
Ingredients
- 1 package (14.3 ounces) Oreo cookies
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces melting chocolate, your choice of milk, dark, or white
- Sprinkles, for decoration (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making the Recipe
- Crush: Finely crush the Oreos in a food processor until reduced to fine crumbs.
- Mix: Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreo crumbs. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Roll: Roll the mixture into one-inch balls (about 24 truffles). Then gently form the balls into heart shapes. This can be done by gently pinching the top of the circle to create a point, and creating the heart shape.
- Chill: Place the shaped Heart Oreo Truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and chill in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
- Melt: Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift it out and gently tap off any excess chocolate.
- Decorate: Immediately sprinkle with sprinkles or other desired decorations.
- Set: Place the dipped and decorated Heart Oreo Truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set completely, either at room temperature or in the refrigerator for faster setting.
