Delightfully rich and creamy Oreo Mint Truffles featuring crushed mint-flavored Oreo cookies blended with smooth cream cheese, dipped in luscious white candy coating, and topped with vibrant green sprinkles for a festive finish. These no-bake truffles are perfect for mint lovers and make an irresistible treat for holidays or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Mixture

  • 20 mint-flavored Oreo creme-filled sandwich cookies
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened (half of an 8 oz block)

Coating and Decoration

  • 8 oz white candy coating wafers or white chocolate chips
  • Green sanding sugar or sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Crush the Cookies: Place the 20 mint Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground into crumbs. Alternatively, you can crush them in a zip-top plastic bag by rolling with a rolling pin, but this method tends to be less effective as the creme filling sticks and the crumbs are not as fine.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: Microwave the 4 oz softened cream cheese for about 20 seconds on high to soften further. Add the cream cheese to the cookie crumbs in the food processor and pulse just until fully incorporated and no visible cream cheese remains, forming a consistent mixture.
  3. Scoop the Mixture: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out the truffle mixture onto parchment or wax paper to form rough balls.
  4. Shape the Truffles: Roll the scooped portions gently between your hands to create smooth round truffle balls. Place them on parchment paper.
  5. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the shaped truffle balls for at least 30 minutes, or up to a day. Chilling helps the balls firm up, making them easier to coat later and helps the coating set faster.
  6. Melt the Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy coating wafers or white chocolate chips at 50% power. Heat for 1 minute initially, then in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
  7. Coat the Truffles: Using a candy holder, fork, or toothpick, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted white candy coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Allow any excess coating to drip back into the bowl by gently tapping.
  8. Add Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle green sanding sugar or sprinkles onto the coated truffles before the coating hardens, as it sets quickly and the decoration won’t adhere afterward.
  9. Set the Truffles: Place the finished truffles on parchment paper or a cooling rack to harden completely. Once coated, store them covered in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use a food processor to crush the cookies finely.
  • Chilling the truffle balls before coating prevents the coating from turning streaky and helps it harden faster.
  • You can substitute white candy coating wafers with white chocolate chips, but tempering may be needed for a smooth finish.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • To soften cream cheese quickly, microwave in short bursts to avoid overheating.
