Cookies and Cream Truffles

These were so yum! and by far the easiest to make ever!




I forgot to take photos of mine. I did manage to get a few looking much nicer and neater than these. Drizzling the white chocolate takes a bit of skill. You can really see which ones I did first - using a fork is just not possible, I used a zip lock bag with a tiny hole in the corner in the end. Melted chocolate is not particularly cooperative!


Delicious and easy-to-make treat perfect with some coffee on a cold afternoon!


Ingredients

  • 500 g Oreo biscuits
  • 250 g cream cheese, softened
  • 400 g milk chocolate
  • 100 g white chocolate

Method


1. In a blender, crush cookies. 
2. Pour into a bowl, add cream chese and mix until there are no traces of white. 
3. Using a teaspoon, roll mixture into balls, place on a baking paper lined tray and refrigeratre for 45 minutes. 
4. Break milk chocolate into pieces and pop in a microwaveable container, melt gradually stirring every 20 seconds until smooth. 
5. Coat balls thoroughly with melted chocolate, place back into fridge to cool. 
6. Finally melt remaining white chocolate and using a fork drizzle melted white chocolate over balls.


I just used a rolling pin to crush cookies and made a half recipe,  300g box of cookies and half a tub of cream cheese. 

I will definitely be making this for my next work morning tea - will be just as fun watching people trying to get the black cookie dough off their front teeth as it will be to make and eat them! :)
