Gluten Free Oreo Truffles

GF Oreo cookies 1 package (13.29 oz) (See Notes)

Cream Cheese 8 oz, cut into chunks

White Chocolate 8 oz, chopped (See Notes)

Bittersweet Chocolate 8 oz, chopped (See Notes)

Sprinkles or colored sugar (for decorating)

Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper

Place Oreos in food processor & pulse until they are fine crumbs. You will need a large food processor, or just process in small amounts if you only have a small food processor.

Add chunks of cream cheese & pulse until completely combined.

Scoop the into 1 inch balls. You can do this by hand (which can get VERY messy) or use a cookie scoop. Drop onto baking sheets.

Chill for about 1 hour until a little firm.

Melt the white & bittersweet chocolates in separate pans over low heat, stirring until smooth. (See Notes)

Dip the truffles in the melted chocolate. (See Notes)

Let the chocolate set for a few minutes, then sprinkle on colored sugar, sprinkles, or drizzle with the other type of chocolate (for contrast).

Chill in the refrigerator on baking sheets for 20-30 minutes until chocolate is set.

You can store them in an airtight container, with a layer of parchment or waxed paper between the layers in the refrigerator.

Notes:

This recipe is based on thepioneerwoman.com/food-cooking/recipes/a37826209/oreo-truffles-recipe.

The original recipe calls for 38 regular Oreos. There are only 34 in the package of GF Oreos – but it still works!

For the white & bittersweet chocolate for dipping, I recommend buying good chocolate (like Ghiradelli) because cheap chocolate does not make as nice a coating.

You can melt them in a double boiler or in a heavy saucepan. Just be careful the chocolate doesn’t burn – especially the white chocolate. I also melt each chocolate one at a time – dipping half of the truffles. Then melting the other chocolate & dipping the other half of the truffles.

Double boiler

Heavy saucepan

For dipping, the original recipe suggests using a fork. I found the GF version is too soft for a fork or a toothpick! I just spooning the chocolate over the truffle worked best. Start slowly to see how runny your chocolate is. If it doesn’t run all the way down the side of the truffle, you can go back & pour a little more over it. But try dipping them - maybe you will have better luck than I did!

You should end up with about 3 dozen truffles.
