Description
These Easter Egg Oreo Truffles are simple to make with just 4 ingredients, and they are such a fun treat for Easter!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package classic Oreos (about 45 cookies*)
- 1 (8 ounces) brick cream cheese, softened
- 8 ounces (about 2 cups) dark or semisweet chocolate chips, melted (*see note below)
- 4 ounces white almond bark, melted
Instructions
- Add the Oreos to a food processor, and pulse until evenly crumbled. Add the cream cheese and pulse until the mixture is smooth and well-blended, stopping to scrape down the sides of the food processor once or twice if needed.
- (If you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos in a large ziplock bag, and then stir/mix in the cream cheese by hand.)
- Use a 1/4-cup ice cream scoop to portion the dough into 1/4-cup balls. Then roll by hand into egg shapes. Place the eggs on parchement-lined baking sheets, and chill in the refrigerator (or freezer) until hardened.
- Once the eggs have chilled, carefully heat the dark or semisweet chocolate in a microwave or double-boiler until melted and smooth. (*If the chocolate is too thick, add in a few teaspoons or shortening or coconut oil to thin.) Dip the egg in the melted chocolate, and roll around until it is evenly coated. Transfer the egg to another parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool. Repeat with remaining eggs. Then transfer to the refrigerator once more to cool until the chocolate has hardened.
- Melt the almond bark in a separate bowl, then either drizzle on the eggs with a fork or use a piping bag to pipe the chocolate on in your desired design.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate in a sealed container for up to 1 week.
Notes
*At the time that this recipe was published, there were approximately 45 cookies in a standard package of Oreos. Now there are about 36. Feel free to just use slightly less cream cheese if you don’t have enough cookies.
(I made a double batch for the photos, which I highly recommend doing.)
