Description
These festive No-Bake Grinch Oreo Truffles are a delightful and easy-to-make holiday treat, perfect for capturing the spirit of the season with their vibrant green color and charming red heart sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (15.3 ounce / 433g) package green creme filled sandwich cookies
- 4 ounces (113g / 1/2 cup) cream cheese, softened
- 16 ounces (454g / approximately 2.5 cups) white baking chocolate or candy melts
- 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening or coconut oil (optional)
- Red heart sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, place cookies in a large resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a medium mixing bowl, combine the crushed cookie crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough-like consistency is formed.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white baking chocolate or candy melts according to package directions. If using, stir in the vegetable shortening or coconut oil for a smoother consistency. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately top with red heart sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
- Repeat with the remaining truffles.
- Once all truffles are coated and decorated, refrigerate them for another 15-20 minutes, or until the chocolate coating is completely set.
- Store the Grinch Oreo Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Notes
- Cream Cheese: Ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature for the best consistency.
- Dipping: Work quickly when dipping and sprinkling, as the chocolate sets fast on chilled truffles.
- Smooth Chocolate: The optional shortening or coconut oil helps create a beautifully smooth and easy-to-dip chocolate coating.
