Description

Oreo Truffles Valentine’s Hearts are rich and creamy no-bake treats made by combining crushed Oreo cookies with cream cheese, shaping the mixture into festive heart shapes, and coating them in smooth white chocolate. Perfectly decorated with sprinkles or colorful candy melts, these bite-sized desserts are ideal for Valentine’s Day celebrations, gift boxes, or any special sweet occasion.

Ingredients

Base

  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Coating

  • 1½ cups white chocolate chips or candy melts
  • ½ cup pink or red candy melts (optional)
  • 1 tsp coconut oil or shortening (optional)

Decoration

  • Valentine’s sprinkles or sanding sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the truffles from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Crush Oreos: Using a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs to create a smooth base for the truffles.
  3. Combine with cream cheese: Mix the crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and uniform in texture.
  4. Shape the hearts: Scoop the mixture and mold it into heart shapes using your hands or a mold for a festive Valentine’s presentation.
  5. Chill the truffles: Place the shaped truffles on the lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to allow them to firm up, making them easier to dip.
  6. Melt the white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate chips or candy melts in 20 to 30 second intervals in the microwave, stirring between intervals until smooth and glossy.
  7. Dip the truffles: Dip each chilled heart-shaped truffle into the melted white chocolate to fully coat it, then gently tap off any excess coating.
  8. Decorate: While the coating is still wet, decorate with Valentine’s sprinkles or drizzle with melted pink or red candy melts for a festive touch.
  9. Set the coating: Allow the chocolate coating to set completely by leaving the truffles at room temperature or refrigerating briefly before serving.

Notes

  • Chill truffles before dipping to ensure the coating adheres well and the truffles hold their shape.
  • Candy melts offer a smoother and more vibrant coating compared to regular chocolate.
  • Store prepared truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
  • Undecorated truffles can be frozen for up to two months; thaw before coating and decorating.
