Step-by-Step Instructions for Mint Oreo Truffles
- In a large mixing bowl, combine 8 oz of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of crushed Oreo cookies, and 1 tablespoon of mint extract. Use a hand mixer or spatula to mix until the ingredients are fully integrated, creating a smooth, creamy base.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to chill.
- Once chilled, remove the mixture and roll it into approximately 20 equal-sized balls, each about 1 inch in diameter.
- Melt 1 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- If needed, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to the melted chocolate for a smoother consistency.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, letting excess chocolate drip off before placing them back on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate.
Notes
Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze for up to 3 months. Enjoy chilled after thawing!
