Crisp, chocolatey Oreo crumbs come together with silky cream cheese, forming a melt-in-your-mouth treat. Encased in a smooth chocolate coating, these little gems are simple to make but big on flavor—perfect for sharing with friends or savoring all on your own.

Ingredients

• 1 (14-ounce) package of Oreo cookies
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1½ cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable oil (optional, for thinning the chocolate)
• Crushed Oreo pieces or sprinkles (optional garnish)

Instructions

Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor or blender. Pulse them until they’re reduced to a fine crumb—think dark, powdery, and irresistible. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin. Once you have your fine Oreo crumbs, transfer them to a mixing bowl.

Next, beat the softened cream cheese into the cookie crumbs until the mixture is smooth and evenly combined. It should form a thick, moldable dough. Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the dough and roll them between your palms to form smooth, bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat, then pop them in the freezer for about 20 minutes to set.

Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring between each session to prevent scorching. If you want a thinner coating, stir in a tablespoon of coconut oil or vegetable oil. Take the chilled Oreo balls out of the freezer and gently dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a fork or candy dipping tool to help you coat them evenly. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the coated truffle back on the parchment paper. While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle on some crushed Oreo crumbs or festive sprinkles for a decorative touch.

Allow the truffles’ coating to set completely, which should take about 15 minutes in the refrigerator. Once firm, your Velvety Cookies & Cream Truffle Bites are ready to enjoy!

These tasty bites are the perfect indulgence for anyone looking for a playful twist on classic cookies and cream flavors. They are easily adaptable; you can substitute white chocolate for a sweeter profile or add a drop of peppermint extract for holiday flair. Whether you’re a novice cook aiming to impress or a seasoned baker seeking a quick go-to dessert, this recipe fits right into your repertoire. Bon appétit!
