Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Coating and Decoration

  • 2 cups melting chocolate wafers
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Process Oreo Cookies: Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large pieces remaining.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the cookie crumbs to a bowl and mix thoroughly with the softened cream cheese until a smooth, uniform dough forms.
  3. Shape into Hearts: Scoop the Oreo mixture into heart-shaped mold cavities and press flat evenly using a spatula. Place the mold in the freezer for 25-30 minutes or until the mixture is firm and holds its shape.
  4. Melt Chocolate Wafers: Heat the melting chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until fully melted and smooth, following the package directions carefully.
  5. Dip Truffles: Remove the heart-shaped truffles from the mold. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate wafers, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off excess chocolate and lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to set the chocolate coating.
  6. Decorate: Melt the white chocolate and transfer it into a piping bag or a small plastic bag with a corner cut off. Drizzle the white chocolate over the chilled heart truffles. While the drizzle is still wet, sprinkle the decorations on top.
  7. Store and Serve: Keep the truffles refrigerated until ready to serve for the best texture and freshness.

Notes

  • Using a food processor ensures a fine crumb texture that mixes well with the cream cheese.
  • Chilling the mixture before dipping helps maintain the shape and prevents melting.
  • Feel free to use any molds you have; heart shapes are perfect for special occasions like Valentine’s Day.
  • The melting chocolate wafers can be substituted with high-quality chocolate chips if preferred, though melting chips may require extra care to avoid burning.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within one week for optimal freshness.
  • To soften cream cheese quickly, leave it out at room temperature for 30 minutes or microwave in short bursts.
