For the Truffle Mixture
- 36 Oreo Cookies (use gluten-free Oreos if needed)
- 8 oz full-fat Cream Cheese, softened
For the Chocolate Coating
- 12 oz White Chocolate (milk or dark chocolate can be substituted)
For the Decoration
- Sprinkles or Edible Eyes (optional)
- Process Oreo Cookies: Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs, ensuring an even texture for mixing.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and combine with the softened cream cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes well-blended and smooth.
- Shape Truffles: Scoop portions of the mixture and roll into balls, then carefully shape each ball into ghost-like figures to create a festive look.
- Chill the Ghosts: Place the shaped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up before coating.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
- Coat the Truffles: Dip each ghost-shaped truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure to cover it fully. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
- Add Decorations: Before the chocolate sets, decorate each truffle with sprinkles or edible eyes to give them a hauntingly cute appearance.
- Allow to Set: Leave the coated truffles at room temperature for about 30 minutes until the white chocolate hardens completely and the truffles are ready to serve.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, be sure to use gluten-free Oreo cookies.
- Full-fat cream cheese provides a richer, creamier texture and better flavor.
- You can substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate if preferred.
- Store the completed truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- Allow truffles to come to room temperature slightly before serving for the best flavor and texture.
- If edible eyes are unavailable, simple black or colored sprinkles can be used to create eyes on the ghosts.
