Base
- 36 Oreo Cookies (swap for gluten-free Oreos if needed)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened (preferably full-fat for richer taste)
Coating & Decoration
- 12 oz white chocolate (can substitute with milk or dark chocolate)
- Sprinkles or edible eyes (optional, for decoration)
- Prepare Oreo Crumbs: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Mix well until you achieve a smooth, well-blended dough-like consistency.
- Shape the Truffles: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, shaping them gently into ghost-like figures with tapered tops if desired.
- Chill the Shapes: Place the shaped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate in the microwave in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing back onto the parchment sheet.
- Add Decorations: Before the chocolate coating sets, decorate the truffles with sprinkles or edible eyes to create ghostly faces and details.
- Set the Chocolate: Let the coated truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely, approximately 30 minutes, before serving.
Notes
- For gluten-free version, substitute regular Oreos with gluten-free Oreo cookies.
- Use full-fat cream cheese for creamier texture and richer flavor.
- You can experiment with milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for the coating.
- If chocolate hardens too quickly, you can briefly warm it again for easier dipping.
- Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator; best consumed within 5 days.
- Use wax or parchment paper to avoid sticking during chilling and coating phases.
