Strawberry Shortcake Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These Strawberry Shortcake Truffles combine the sweetness of golden Oreos and the fruity burst of freeze-dried strawberries for a delightful treat. With a creamy cream cheese center and a smooth white chocolate coating, they are perfect bite-sized desserts for any occasion.

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

1. Step 1: Add the Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries to a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms.
2. Step 2: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture and set aside for sprinkling later.
3. Step 3: Add the softened cream cheese into the food processor and pulse until the mixture forms a firm ball.
4. Step 4: Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop or your preferred size, scoop the truffle mixture onto a piece of parchment paper.

6. Step 6: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white candy melts and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
7. Step 7: Dip each truffle into the melted candy, tapping off any excess by gently tapping the fork on the bowl’s edge.
8. Step 8: Use a skewer to place the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper.
9. Step 9: Quickly sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the truffles before the coating sets.
10. Step 10: Store the finished truffles in the refrigerator to keep them firm.

Tips & Variations

• For a different flavor, try using freeze-dried raspberries or blueberries instead of strawberries.
• If white candy melts are unavailable, white chocolate chips can be melted slowly with a bit of coconut oil as a substitute.
• Chilling the cream cheese before mixing helps the truffles hold their shape better.
• To make a decorative drizzle, melt a small amount of dark or milk chocolate and use a fork to drizzle over the coated truffles once dry.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To enjoy, remove from the fridge and let them sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing, as it can affect the texture of the coating.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular strawberries instead of freeze-dried?

Fresh strawberries contain moisture that can make the truffle mixture too soft and affect the coating. Freeze-dried strawberries work best because they add flavor without extra moisture.

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 fine. Mix in softened cream cheese by hand, though it may take more effort to combine well.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crumbs: Add the Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries into a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms, ensuring an even mixture.
2. Set Aside Topping Crumbs: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture and set it aside for sprinkling over the truffles later.

7. Dip the 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 to avoid thick coating.

10. Chill and Store: Once coated and sprinkled, store the truffles in the refrigerator to allow the coating to set and enjoy chilled.

Notes

• Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier blending and smooth truffle texture.
• Use parchment paper to prevent sticking during dipping and setting phases.
• Store truffles refrigerated for up to 1 week to maintain freshness and coating integrity.
• Freeze-dried strawberries add intense fruit flavor without moisture, preventing truffle sogginess.
• Adjust candy melts quantity based on the number and size of truffles made.
