Oreo Truffle Balls Pink Coating (Print)

Creamy Oreo and cream cheese spheres coated in vibrant pink candy, offering a satisfying snap and a rich chocolate core.

# Ingredients:

→ Truffle Base

01 - 36 Oreo cookies (14.3 oz), with filling
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

→ Coating & Decoration

03 - 12 oz pink candy melts or white candy melts tinted with pink oil-based coloring
04 - 1 tsp vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother coating)
05 - Sprinkles or edible pearls (optional, for decoration)

# Instructions:

01 - Process Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place cookies in a sealed zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin.
02 - Combine cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Mix thoroughly with a spatula until completely uniform in texture and color.
03 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into firm spheres between your palms. Arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
04 - Refrigerate truffle balls for 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes until firm enough for dipping without losing shape.
05 - Microwave candy melts in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring between intervals until smooth. Incorporate vegetable shortening if using for enhanced consistency.
06 - Submerge each chilled ball in melted coating using a dipping fork. Gently tap to remove excess, then return to parchment-lined tray.
07 - Immediately apply sprinkles or edible pearls while coating remains wet for proper adhesion.
08 - Allow truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 10–15 minutes until coating hardens completely. Serve chilled.

# Pro Tips:

01 -
  • They look like you spent hours at a fancy chocolate shop but come together in under an hour
  • The texture contrast between the crisp coating and creamy center is absolutely addictive
02 -
  • Warm truffles will slide right off your dipping fork and make a mess of your coating. I learned this the hard way when I rushed the chilling step once and ended up with truffle bits floating in my pink candy.
  • If your candy coating becomes too thick for dipping, microwave it for just 10 seconds and stir. Repeated heating can affect the final texture so only do this once.
03 -
  • Work in a cool room since warm humidity will make the coating streaky and soft
  • Keep a small bowl of warm water nearby to clean your dipping fork if coating builds up on the tines
