Essential Ingredients
- 1 package (15.35 oz) gluten-free Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- ½ cup crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Prepare the Base: Crush the gluten-free Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a zip-top bag with a rolling pin. Mix in softened cream cheese until fully combined, creating a dough-like consistency.
- Form the Truffles: Scoop out small portions of the mixture using a cookie scoop or your hands. Roll each portion into smooth balls about one inch in diameter and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring well until smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each ball into the melted white chocolate using a fork, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Return them to the baking sheet quickly before the chocolate sets.
- Add Peppermint Topping: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies generously on top of each truffle to add flavor and festive appeal.
- Chill and Serve: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, serve these delightful bites as dessert or party treats.
Notes
- Use gluten-free Oreo cookies to maintain the gluten-free status.
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother texture.
- Roll truffles quickly to prevent melting from your hands.
- Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- Try swapping peppermint extract or topping with other flavors like vanilla, almond, sprinkles, or nuts for variety.
- No reheating is necessary as these are best enjoyed chilled.
