Ingredients for Cacao Oreo Truffles

• Oreo: The type/flavor of Oreo cookies will make a difference in taste-be sure to use your favorite.

Cacao Oreo Truffles Recipe

• 36 Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies (1 standard package / 13.30 oz. / 376 g)
• 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese or Neufchatel cheese (not spread), softened
• 1 cup (120 g) cacao or cocoa powder for coating

Recommended Equipment

• Food Processor or Chopper: For finely crushing the Oreos into a smooth, uniform crumb texture.
• Baking Sheet or Tray: For chilling the prepared Oreo truffles to help them set properly.
• Cookie Scooper: A small that holds 1 tablespoon (20 g) for easily forming evenly sized truffles.

How to Make Cacao Oreo Truffles

Prepare the Oreo Base: Place the whole crème-filled Oreo chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor. Pulse until fine crumbs form.

Mix the Dough: In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Use a spoon or your hands to mix until fully incorporated into a dough-like consistency. Optional: Add 2 tbsp (30 g) of cacao powder for a more intense chocolate flavor.

Tip: Texture Matters: Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.

Shape the Truffles: Scoop small portions of the mixture, about 1 tablespoon (20 grams) each and roll them into balls. If the mixture feels too sticky, add 1–2 tbsp (15 g) of extra Oreo crumbs or refrigerate briefly before shaping. Place the balls on a baking sheet, optionally lined with parchment paper.

Coat the Truffles: Roll the truffles in cacao powder for a simple coating or dip the truffles in the melted chocolate, using a fork to lift and let excess drip off. Place back on parchment paper.

Chill: Refrigerate or freeze the balls for 15–20 minutes until firm.

Serving: Let the truffles sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor.

Storage: Store truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
