Oreo Truffles

Our friends had invited us for a Christmas dinner last year and I volunteered to make dessert(no surprises there!) I was itching to try out this recipe and a Christmas party seemed just the perfect reason. Its one of the easier recipes I've made. The tricky part is coating it with chocolate, but a few trial and errors and you'll manage. 

Recipe

Ingredients:

18 Oreo cookies (DO NOT use the double stuffed ones)

4 ounce Philly cream cheese (at room temperature)

8 ounce Bakers semi sweet chocolate bars(You can use Hershey's or Ghirardelli too)

2 ounce Bakers white chocolate

Crush the cookies in a food processor till fine. Add the cream cheese and mix well. It should form a sticky dough. Keep the dough in the fridge for atleast an hour for it to bind well. After an hour, make bite size balls (this recipe should make approx 20 balls). Line the cookie balls on a parchment paper and refrigerate for atleast 4 hours. 

Melt the semi sweet chocolate in a double boiler. While you melt the chocolate, keep the cookie balls in the freezer, for about 10 mins so they set well.

Using a spoon and a fork dip the cookie balls in the melted chocolate. Be very quick else the cookie balls start melting in the hot chocolate. The spoon helps the cookie ball coat well and the fork helps remove the excess chocolate.

After coating the truffles, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper.

While the truffles cool down and the chocolate sets, melt the 2 ounce white chocolate in a double boiler. Add the melted white chocolate in a ziplock bag and snip one end of the ziplock.

Drizzle white chocolate on the truffles and you have yourself beautiful truffles ready to be gobbled down!
