Four-Ingredient Oreo Mint Truffles
Cuisine: Dessert
Prep time: 
Total time: 
Serves: 20-25 truffles
 
Ingredients
  • 1 package Oreo cookies (not double-stuffed)
  • 8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tsp. mint extract*
  • 1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
  1. Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and process until they are completely reduced to crumbs.
  2. Transfer cookies to a large bowl. Add cream cheese and mint extract. Using a hand mixer or a spoon and mixing by hand, mix until combined.
  3. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Form small balls (about 1 to 1½ inches in diameter) and place on the baking sheet. Refrigerate for 2 or more hours.
  4. Melt chocolate using a double boiler. Remove from heat.
  5. Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Place Oreo truffles in the chocolate, carefully turning to coat. Once coated, transfer truffles to the baking sheet. While the chocolate is still wet, you can top the truffles with crushed Oreos or candy canes, if desired. You can also add a white or dark chocolate drizzle.
  6. Refrigerate truffles for at least 1 hour until chocolate is hardened.
  7. Truffles can be transferred to an airtight plastic container and will keep for up to two weeks.
Notes
*Mint extract has spearmint notes, peppermint extract is specifically peppermint. You can use whichever you prefer!
