Cookies & Cream Truffles

The first time I ever had these, I fell in love.

And that's a pretty serious statement from a girl who is not overly dramatic and fickle in the least...

(Pause for snickers of disbelief.)

But truthfully, for a girl who doesn't really go crazy for a sleeve of Oreos, these truffles hit the spot each and every time.  Usually, they're covered in a thin layer of delicious milk chocolate, but I wanted to go one step further today by making a Cookies & Cream flavored truffle.  White chocolate with bit of chocolate cookie surrounding a thick, creamy, pulverized cookie center.  And the best part is, there's only three ingredients and there's no baking required.

You can make these, literally, all the time!

Wait, maybe that's not such a good thing after all...

I'm going to go jog 36 miles now.



Cookies & Cream Truffles

1 package of Oreo cookies
1 8oz. brick of Cream cheese
10 oz. of white chocolate, melted


Pulverize the cookies in a food processor.

Remove 2-3 tbsp of the cookie mixture to use as a garnish.

For the rest of the cookies, transfer to a bowl and combine with cream cheese until homogenous.

Roll 1" balls and lay them out onto a baking sheet.  Number will depend on how much bigger or smaller you make them.  Refrigerate them for 1 hour.

Dip the chilled balls into the melted white chocolate and transfer back to the baking sheet.  Garnish by sprinkling a pinch of cookie dust over the top.  You could also try mixing the cookie dust into the melted chocolate prior to dipping.

Refrigerate for 1 more hour or until ready to serve.
