What makes these Oreo Truffles a great Mother's Day Dessert?
I am so excited for Mother's Day this year. Joe managed to get the entire day off. We originally planned on a Mother's Day Brunch at a local restaurant overlooking the Hudson River. Unfortunately, the restaurant was booked two weeks in advance. So instead of gorging ourselves on overpriced food I am running my first 5K of the season and Riley is running her first ever 100 yard dash.
I am so excited for Riley. We went and picked out running shoes this afternoon for her. She was so funny in the store running up and down the aisles showing the salesperson how fast she is. I am so thankful for a day that celebrates a large part of who I am.
I love being a mother. Riley makes each and every day interesting and she teaches me so much. In order to indulge myself a little bit after my 5K, I whipped up some Oreo Truffles for dessert.
These were so simple to make and they are delicious!
Ingredients:
How to Make Oreo Truffles?
- Place the entire package of Oreos into a food processor and crush to a fine consistency.
- Add to the cookie crumbs the package of cream cheese and hand mix until it becomes a dough like consistency.
- Form round balls of the dough and place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet. Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for at least an hour. The longer the better.
- Melt half of the chocolate and drop the balls into the melted chocolate. Roll the balls in the chocolate and place back on the wax sheet so that it dries. This should coat about half of the balls.
- Melt half of the white candies and drop the rest of the balls in to coat. Place these balls on the wax paper and let these dry. Melt the rest of the chocolate and the white candies and place into a pastry bag to give the dried chocolate balls a design on top.
- Refrigerate the truffles until ready to serve or store in an airtight container.

FAQs:
Do Oreo truffles need to be refrigerated?
Yes, Oreo truffles should be refrigerated to keep them fresh and firm. Once you've made the truffles, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
When you're ready to serve the truffles, let them thaw in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving. This will help them soften up and be ready to eat.
How long are Oreo truffles good for?
Oreo Truffles last for up to 3 months in the freezer.
To freeze the truffles, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze until firm. Once they're firm, transfer them to an airtight container or freezer bag and store in the freezer.
