Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

For the Oreo filling
  • 36 Oreo cookies check the label to ensure they’re vegan and gluten free
  • 8 oz vegan cream cheese softened
For the coating
  • 8 oz vegan dark chocolate chips or 8 oz vegan white chocolate chips or gluten free variation
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil optional for smoother chocolate coating
For decoration (optional)
  • Crushed Oreos
  • Vegan white chocolate drizzle if using dark chocolate coating
  • Vegan dark chocolate drizzle if using white chocolate coating

Method
 

Prepare the Oreo Mixture
  1. Start by placing the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse them until you have fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can also put the cookies in a zip-lock bag and crush them with a rolling pin. The goal is to create a fine, sand-like texture.
  2. Once the Oreos are crushed, transfer them into a large mixing bowl. Add the softened vegan cream cheese to the bowl and mix thoroughly. You can use a spatula or your hands to ensure the cream cheese is well incorporated into the crumbs. The mixture should be smooth and easy to mold into balls.
Form the Truffles
  1. Next, scoop out portions of the Oreo mixture using a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands. You should end up with around 30–36 truffles, depending on how large you make them.
  2. Place the Oreo truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Once all the balls are formed, refrigerate them for at least 30 minutes. This step will firm up the truffles, making them easier to coat in chocolate later.
Melt the Chocolate
  1. While the truffles are chilling, melt your chocolate. You can use either dark or white chocolate, depending on your preference.
  2. To melt the chocolate, place your vegan chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the coconut oil if you want a smoother finish. Microwave the chocolate in 20–30 second intervals, stirring in between each session until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate as it can burn easily.
  3. Alternatively, you can use a double boiler method by placing the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted.
Dip the Truffles in Chocolate
  1. Once the chocolate is melted and the truffles are firm, it’s time to coat them. Take the chilled truffles out of the refrigerator and, using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Gently tap off any excess chocolate and place the truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  2. If you’re making both white and dark chocolate truffles, divide your truffles into two batches. Coat one batch in melted vegan white chocolate and the other in dark chocolate.
Add Decorations
  1. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle some crushed Oreos on top of each truffle for extra crunch and decoration. Alternatively, you can drizzle dark chocolate over the white chocolate-coated truffles or vice versa. This adds a fun, contrasting design and enhances the visual appeal of your treats.
  2. Let the chocolate coating harden completely. You can speed up this process by placing the truffles in the fridge for about 15–20 minutes.
