Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 24 classic Oreo cookies (about 15 ounces), crushed finely
  • 8 ounces (1 package) cream cheese, softened

Coating & Decorations

  • 12 ounces white chocolate or candy melts
  • Food coloring (optional, for pastel colors)
  • Sprinkles or edible decorations

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you don’t have a food processor, put them in a sealable bag and crush with a rolling pin until evenly ground but not powdery.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until the mixture is smooth and moldable without lumps of cream cheese.
  3. Shape into Eggs: Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into oval, egg-like shapes with your fingertips, aiming for uniform sizes. Place the shaped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the shaped truffles for at least 30 minutes to firm them up, which helps prevent breakage during dipping.
  5. Prepare the Chocolate Coating: Melt white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. If desired, add food coloring to create pastel Easter hues.
  6. Dip and Decorate: Using a fork or toothpick, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, tapping off excess. Place back on parchment paper and quickly add sprinkles or decorations before the coating sets.
  7. Set and Serve: Let the truffles cool at room temperature or refrigerate to harden the coating fully. Once set, they’re ready to serve or gift.

Notes

  • Use room temperature cream cheese to ensure a smooth mixture free of lumps.
  • Melt chocolate gently and stir constantly to prevent burning or seizing.
  • Shape truffles uniformly for even chilling and coating.
  • If mixture softens during shaping, chill your hands or the bowl to keep it firm.
  • Apply sprinkles immediately after dipping for best adherence before the coating hardens.
