Ingredients

  • 1 package (14 ounces) Lemon Oreo Cookies
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 12 ounces white chocolate
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening

Instructions

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Use a food processor to process all cookies into fine crumbs.
  • Add cream cheese and lemon zest to the processor and process until just combined.
  • Chill for 1 hour, until easier to handle.
  • Roll into 1-inch balls, and set aside onto prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 1 hour (or more).
  • Place the 12-ounces of chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl with vegetable oil. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir. Then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each increments, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Remove Oreo balls from the freezer. Gently drop them into the melted chocolate, one at a time, turning to coat. Lift the truffle out of the chocolate with a fork and slide the bottom of the fork along the top of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Then set it on the wax paper. Repeat for remaining truffles.
  • Once all truffles have been coated, allow to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until chocolate is hardened.

Notes

  • Storage: Store covered in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • Make Ahead: The shaped balls can be chilled in the refrigerator for up to 3 days before coating with chocolate.
  • Freezer: You can freeze uncoated or finished Oreo truffles for up to 2 to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.

    I've never come across a recipe that added anything to the white chocolate coating. Does the coco oil/shortening do something like make the coating stay a bit pliable or something? I don't have shortening but I do have coco oil... but it is also summertime and if I make these for my work group I fear the coco oil will cause them to be too melty while staying out in room temp for the day. Would they fare better if I left the oil out or if I included the oil?

      Yes. It makes it a little smoother so it doesn't firm up so fast. I find that it firms up the same once cooled, but it's so much smoother during the dipping process.
