Strawberry Shortcake Truffles (With Golden Oreos)
These Strawberry Shortcake Truffles are a delightful treat combining the flavors of strawberries and Golden Oreos, covered in a smooth white chocolate shell. Perfect for parties or as a sweet snack, these truffles are both easy to make and irresistibly delicious.
Ingredients
– 36 Golden Oreos (14.3-ounce package)
– 7.5 ounces strawberry cream cheese (softened, you can use 7.5 to 8 ounces strawberry cream cheese)
– ½ cup strawberries (diced small, about 4-5 medium-sized strawberries)
– 11-12 ounces white chocolate chips (1 1/2 cups)
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil
– 1 cup pink candy melts (optional decoration)
– Sprinkles (optional decoration)
Directions
1. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Place cookies in a food processor and mix until cookies turn into fine crumbs. (See notes if you don’t have a food processor.)
3. Add strawberry cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a silicone spatula until a dough forms. Do not mix the mixture in the food processor as the cream cheese mixture can become too liquidy.
4. Dice the strawberries, then dry them well with a paper towel. Fold the strawberry pieces into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula.
5. Roll the strawberry doughballs, about one tablespoon per truffle. Place each truffle on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet so they are not touching. Freeze the truffles for at least 15 minutes.
6. Add the white chocolate and coconut oil (optional) to a heatproof bowl. Place the bowl in the microwave and heat for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the white chocolate in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth white chocolate sauce.
7. Remove truffles from the freezer. Place truffle balls into white chocolate one at a time to coat, using a fork so excess chocolate can drip off. Place each white chocolate-coated ball on parchment paper so they are not touching each other.
8. Melt the pink candy melts in the microwave for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the pink candy melts in thirty-second increments until it forms a smooth pink chocolate sauce.
9. Drizzle the top of each truffle with the pink chocolate candy melts, then top with sprinkles immediately if desired. Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to help the chocolate to fully harden, then enjoy!
