Ingredients
- 36 Lemon Oreo Cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- White chocolate or white almond bark
Step-by-step instructions
- Add all the Lemon Oreos—filling included—to a blender or food processor. Pulse until the cookies turn into fine, sand-like crumbs.
- Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Use a small cookie scoop to portion out the dough. Roll each portion into a smooth ball with your hands and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the tray in the fridge or freezer for about 1 hour, or until the truffles are firm enough to dip.
- Melt white chocolate or almond bark according to the package directions. Working one at a time, dip each chilled truffle into the melted coating, letting the excess drip off.
- Place back onto the parchment-lined sheet and let sit until the chocolate is fully set.
Recipe tips & variations
For an added zing, try zesting some fresh lemon over the truffles before the chocolate sets. If white chocolate isn’t your favorite, these truffles would also taste fantastic with dark chocolate. You could also roll them in crushed lemon Oreo crumbs for a little crunch.
Storage & reheating
Store your Lemon Truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They can also be frozen for up to two months. Just let them thaw on the counter for a bit before serving. Trust me, they won’t last that long!
FAQs
Can I use another type of cookie?
Yes, you can experiment with different flavors of Oreos or even graham crackers for a unique twist.
How do I keep the chocolate from cracking?
Ensure your truffles are not too cold when you dip them, as extreme temperature differences can cause cracks.
