The previous evening I felt a little chocolatey. Somewhat wanton. Somewhat lavish. In the midst of my pondering, I contemplated internally, "in addition lavish than truffles?" And it's valid. They're rich and velvety and quite delectable when need a chocolate fix. So I whipped these children up in 20 minutes and called it paradise. For reasons unknown the cream cheddar/Oreo combo has the precise consistency of fudge… it's sort of uncanny. What's more, they are so natural to make, nobody who tastes them will figure that they're just 5 straightforward fixings.
For the truffles:
15 Oreo cookies
6 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder (or 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder)
6 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder (or 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder)
15 Oreo cookies
6 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder (or 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder)
6 ounces softened cream cheese
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 teaspoon instant espresso powder (or 1/2 teaspoon instant coffee powder)
In a food processor, grind the Oreos until powdery. Set aside 1-2 tablespoons of crushed Oreos. Pour the rest into a medium bowl and stir in cream cheese until homogenous. Place mix into refrigerator and cool for at least 30 minutes.
While truffles are hardening, melt the chocolate chips, espresso powder, and butter in a small saucepan, stirring occasionally. Once melted, take off heat.
Once the truffles are cold, using a rounded tablespoon, roll the dough into balls. Place on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper.
Dip balls into melted chocolate and return them to the baking sheet to cool. To garnish, sprinkle the 1-2 tablespoons of Oreos set aside from earlier. Place in freezer until hardened. Voilà!
