Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 8 oz gluten free chocolate, melted
- Sprinkles or crushed cookies for garnish
Instructions
- Place the entire package of gluten free chocolate sandwich cookies into a food processor. Pulse until the cookies are completely ground into fine crumbs.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly using a hand mixer or spatula until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to firm up slightly, which will make it easier to roll into balls.
- Using clean hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the rolled truffles in the freezer for 10-15 minutes to help them maintain their shape during dipping.
- Melt the gluten free chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and fully melted.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully lower each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it's completely coated. Tap off excess chocolate and return to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Immediately sprinkle crushed cookies or decorative sprinkles on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the truffles for 15-20 minutes or until the chocolate coating is completely firm.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow to sit at room temperature for 5-10 minutes before serving for best texture.
Tips
- • Make sure your cream cheese is truly softened to room temperature for the smoothest mixture • Chill the truffle mixture before rolling to prevent sticky hands • Use a fork or specialized dipping tool when coating in chocolate for a professional finish • Work quickly when adding sprinkles or crushed cookies to ensure they stick before the chocolate sets • For a cleaner look, use a chocolate dipping tool or skewer to ensure even chocolate coating • If the chocolate starts to harden while dipping, briefly reheat in the microwave • For variations, try white chocolate coating or different types of gluten-free sprinkles • Store truffles in a single layer to prevent sticking and maintain their beautiful appearance
