Store Oreo Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months.

FAQs

How do I crush Oreos without a food processor?

You can place the Oreos in a zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin until they become fine crumbs.

Can I make Oreo Truffles ahead of time?

Yes, they can be made several days in advance and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.

Do I need to remove the cream filling from the Oreos?

No, the cream filling is blended with the cookies to help bind the truffle mixture.

Can I use low-fat cream cheese?

What’s the best chocolate for coating?

Why are my truffles cracking after dipping?

This can happen if the truffle balls are too cold when dipped in hot chocolate. Let them sit for a minute or two before dipping.

How can I prevent the chocolate from pooling at the bottom?

Let the excess chocolate drip off the truffle before placing it on the parchment paper.

Can I use gluten-free Oreos?

Use a dipping tool or fork, and decorate with a drizzle of contrasting chocolate or finely crushed cookies.
