Ingredients

26 Golden Oreos
0.8 ounce bag freeze-dried strawberries
5 ounces cream cheese (softened)
1 1/4 cups white candy melts
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Step 1: Add the Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms.
Step 2: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture and set it aside for sprinkling later.
Step 3: Add the softened cream cheese to the food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a ball.
Step 4: Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop or your preferred size, scoop the truffle mixture onto a piece of parchment paper.
Step 5: Roll each scoop between your hands to form smooth balls.
Step 6: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white candy melts and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted.
Step 7: Dip each truffle into the melted candy, tapping off excess by gently tapping the fork on the side of the bowl.
Step 8: Use a skewer to carefully place the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper.
Step 9: Quickly sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the truffles before the coating sets.
Step 10: Store the truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Tips & Variations

Try using different flavored Oreos, like chocolate, for a fun twist on the classic strawberry flavor.
If you don’t have freeze-dried strawberries, finely chopped fresh strawberries can be used but may make the mixture wetter.
For a smoother coating, add a little more coconut oil to the candy melts if needed.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For best texture, let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing, as the texture may change.

FAQs

Can I make these truffles ahead of time?

Yes, they can be made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Just sprinkle the crumbs right before serving to keep them fresh.

What if I don’t have a food processor?

You can place the Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until finely ground, then mix with the cream cheese by hand.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffles

26 Golden Oreos
0.8 ounce bag freeze-dried strawberries
5 ounces cream cheese, softened

Coating

1 1/4 cups white candy melts
1 teaspoon coconut oil

Instructions

Prepare the crumb base: Add the Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms.
Reserve crumb for garnish: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of this crumb mixture and set it aside for sprinkling later.
Form the truffle mixture: Add the softened cream cheese into the food processor and pulse until a uniform ball of dough forms.
Scoop truffles: Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop or your preferred size, scoop the mixture onto a piece of parchment paper.
Shape truffles: Roll each scoop between your hands to form smooth balls.
Melt the coating: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white candy melts and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
Coat truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted candy coating, then tap off any excess by gently tapping the fork on the side of the bowl.
Place on parchment: Use a skewer to push each coated truffle back onto the parchment paper.
Add the garnish: Quickly sprinkle the reserved Oreo-strawberry crumb over each truffle before the coating sets.
Chill and set: Store the truffles in the refrigerator to allow the coating to harden and the flavors to meld.

Notes

Ensure cream cheese is softened to blend easily with the crumbs.
Freeze-dried strawberries provide intense strawberry flavor without adding moisture.
If candy melts are not available, white chocolate chips can be used but may require tempering.
Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge; consume within 5 days for best taste.
Optionally, roll truffles in extra crushed Oreos or sprinkles instead of the reserved crumb for variation.
