Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup cotton candy
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- Sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 package of Oreo cookies, 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of cotton candy, 1 cup of white chocolate chips, and sprinkles for decoration.
- In a large mixing bowl, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. You can use a food processor for this, or place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed Oreo cookies. Use a spatula or your hands to mix them together until fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
- Gently fold in the cotton candy, ensuring it is evenly distributed throughout the mixture. The cotton candy will add a sweet, fluffy texture to the truffles.
- Once the mixture is well combined, use your hands to form small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- After forming all the truffles, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the truffles to firm up.
- While the truffles are chilling, melt the white chocolate chips. You can do this by placing them in a microwave-safe bowl and microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Once the truffles have chilled, remove them from the refrigerator. Dip each truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- After coating in white chocolate, place the truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle them with colorful sprinkles for decoration.
- Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature until the white chocolate hardens, or place them in the refrigerator for a quicker setting.
- Once the chocolate has set, your Cotton Candy Oreo Truffles are ready to serve! Enjoy them as a sweet treat or share them with friends and family.
Tips
- Ensure your cream cheese is truly softened at room temperature for the smoothest mixture.
- Use a food processor for the most uniform Oreo cookie crumbs, which will help create a consistent texture.
- Chill the truffles before dipping in white chocolate to prevent them from falling apart.
- Melt white chocolate slowly and carefully to avoid burning – use 30-second intervals and stir frequently.
- Work quickly when adding sprinkles, as the chocolate sets fast.
- For a professional look, use a dipping tool or fork when coating truffles in white chocolate.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For extra flair, try different colored sprinkles or drizzle with contrasting chocolate.
