Ingredients
Truffles
- 30 Gluten-free Golden Oreos (1 12-ounce package)
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries
- 3.5 ounces dairy-free cream cheese
- 2 cups dairy-free white chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pulse cookies and strawberries: In a food processor, pulse the gluten-free Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries until they become fine crumbs. Set aside 2 tablespoons of this crumb mixture for garnish later.
- Add cream cheese and mix: Cut the dairy-free cream cheese into smaller cubes and add to the remaining crumbs in the food processor. Pulse until the mixture combines into a large ball that holds together but isn't overly sticky. Adjust by adding more cream cheese if too dry or more crumbs if too wet.
- Form truffle balls: Using about 1 tablespoon of the mixture, roll into small balls. Place these on a tray sprayed with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
- Melt chocolate chips: Melt the dairy-free white chocolate chips either in the microwave in short bursts or on the stove over low heat until smooth.
- Dip truffles in chocolate: Remove the frozen truffle balls from the freezer. Using toothpicks, dip each ball into the melted chocolate to coat completely. Place dipped truffles back on the tray. Use a small dab of melted chocolate to cover the toothpick holes afterward.
- Decorate and set: Immediately drizzle leftover melted chocolate over the truffles and sprinkle with the reserved crumb and strawberry mixture. Allow the chocolate coating to set before serving.
- Storage: These truffles can be stored at room temperature for a few days, refrigerated for up to 2 weeks, or frozen for up to 3 months in an airtight container.
Notes
- If the cream cheese and crumbs mixture is too dry, add a bit more cream cheese to achieve a non-crumbly, sticky ball consistency.
- If the mixture is too moist and sticky, add more cookie crumbs to balance the texture.
- Using toothpicks makes dipping easier and helps create a clean, uniform coating. Cover the holes left by toothpicks with melted chocolate.
- This recipe is perfect for involving kids in the rolling process as shaping the balls is simple and fun.
