Delight in these Strawberry Shortcake Truffles, a luscious no-bake treat combining the crunch of Golden Oreos, the fruity burst of freeze-dried strawberries, and the smooth richness of cream cheese, all coated in a sweet white candy shell. Perfect for a quick dessert or party snack.

Ingredients

Scale

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

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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Shape the Truffles: Roll each portion between your hands to form a smooth ball, ensuring even shape and size for uniform coating.
  6. 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.
  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.
  8. Place on Parchment: Use a skewer to carefully push the coated truffle back onto the parchment paper to set.
  9. Add Topping: Quickly sprinkle the reserved crumb mixture over the truffles before the coating hardens for added texture and visual appeal.
  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.
