After many requests, I’ve finally got round to posting the recipe for these little delights!
Of all the things I’ve ever made, these Oreo Truffles have lavished me with the most praise! I pinched it from the lovely Celine, who made them for us at a BBQ last year!
Celine made them in school (what school-aged obesity issue?), and they went down a treat. We were all practically fighting for the remaining truffles (which disappeared rapidly, I tell ye).
I’ve only made these a couple of times and feedback includes: “I need these in my life”, as well as “they’re honestly the best things I have ever put in my mouth” *snigger*. This is definitely one for indulgence; if you are on a diet I would look away now. You won’t be able to “just have one”, I won’t lie to you.
Here are the Ingredients in all their beautiful glory (made 15 fat truffles)
2 packets of Oreos
230g bar of Dairy Milk
250g Plain Soft Cheese
Another recipe that calls for furious bashing… place the Oreos into a bowl and, with a rolling pin, unleash the fury.
Mix in the soft cheese thoroughly, then its time to get messy. Roll them into truffle-sized balls and place on a flat tray (I used my chopping board), then put them in the fridge to set for an hour (or the freezer for half an hour).
Melt the Dairy Milk in a bowl over a pot of bubbling hot water. Try not to eat it, lest you earn yourself a trip to the A&E.
Dip the truffles into the (cooled) chocolate, coating them nicely and putting back on the chopping board (or whatever you’re using). Put in the fridge to set for another hour or so.
The final step is to sit back and accept the praise 🙂
You can dust icing sugar over it, to make it look fancy and “truffle-ish”, but I didn’t bother.
Do try them, you won’t be disappointed!
Enjoy 😀 x
ooooooh! Nice, nice! Will make them as soon…all ingredients waitings in fridge :)! Will let you know.
Yaaay! Looking forward to hearing how you get on 😀
little darlings! i still have tried any dessert with oreo, truffles sounds so easy….and YUM!! and i’m not dieting i can indulge in any number haha 😀
They are indeed little darlings, Ananda 🙂 A few people have made them since I posted the blog and it’s all been positive feedback! Have a go 🙂
Those sound THE best chocolate-fix EVER! Heaven in a little bite! I love the descriptions your tasters gave!
Heaven in a little bite is a PERFECT description for them, Kate 🙂 haha the tasters had some very strong feelings about these truffles!
Not a big fan of Oreos, but these truffles do sound nice
I’d chance a bet you might like these, Janice, all the tastes are combined so you don’t get too much of an “oreo” effect (it must be the lashings of dairy milk… larrr!). 🙂
I’m sure I wouldn’t be disappointed, these sound fantastic and a must try.
I hope you do try them 🙂 perfect for a chocolate fan such as yourself!
Ooh yum oreo truffles sound + look gooooood! Am off chocolate due to silly migraines at moment so will have to save these for the future!
Thats such a shame about your migranes *hug* hope you feel better soon, and hopefully you can get to try these truffles as soon as the headaches are gone! 🙂
these are oh-so-sloppy to make, and time-consuming as well, but the end result is definitely worth the hassle!
I completely agree, Grace! 😀
Right that does it! I just have to try Oreos. I’ve now seen them in the foreign food section in our French supermarket, Casino. Anything that is delicious and easy like that AND earns praise is our kind of treat in this house! Fabulous.
Oooh let me know how you get on, Jill! I’m sure you will love them, although I’m not sure if they compete with your wonderful macarons!
Why would you post this on the day I started ‘healthy eating’? It’s not fair! These look like the best things ever. Maybe I could treat myself…
Awww I’m sorry! Just do what I do and pretend you’ll work off the calories later… 🙂
