Truffle Base
- 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
- 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.
- Set Aside Topping Crumbs: Scoop out about 2 tablespoons of the crumb mixture and set it aside for sprinkling over the truffles later.
- Form the Truffle Dough: Add the softened cream cheese into the remaining crumbs in the food processor and pulse until a cohesive ball forms, combining all ingredients smoothly.
- Scoop the Truffles: Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon cookie scoop or your preferred size, portion out the truffle dough onto a piece of parchment paper.
- Shape the Truffles: Roll each portion between your hands to form a smooth ball, ensuring even shape and size for uniform coating.
- Melt the Coating: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the white candy melts and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.
- 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.
- Place on Parchment: Use a skewer to carefully push the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper to set.
- Add Topping: Quickly sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the truffles before the coating hardens for added texture and visual appeal.
- 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.
