Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Mixture
- 36 lemon Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (optional)
Coating
- 1 1/2 cups white candy melts
- 1 1/2 cups yellow candy melts
Instructions
- Crush Oreos: Using a food processor, finely crush the lemon Oreo cookies into crumbs for a smooth consistency.
- Mix with cream cheese: In a mixing bowl, beat the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, and lemon zest until well combined and no lumps of cream cheese remain, creating a uniform mixture.
- Form truffles: Roll the mixture into 1 tablespoon-sized balls, placing each on a prepared baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze: Freeze the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes or overnight to firm them up for easier coating.
- Melt candy melts: Melt the white and yellow candy melts separately, following package instructions for smooth and creamy coatings.
- Dip and coat: Dip each frozen truffle ball into the melted white candy melts, tapping off excess coating, then place back on the baking tray.
- Decorate: Transfer the remaining melted yellow candy melts into a piping bag and drizzle over the coated truffles in a zig-zag pattern for a decorative touch.
- Set the coating: Refrigerate the decorated truffles for 5 minutes to allow the candy coating to set properly before serving.
Notes
- Store leftover truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week to maintain freshness.
- Ensure cream cheese is completely softened for smooth mixing to avoid lumps.
- Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking while freezing and coating.
- Customize the drizzle colors by using any candy melts of your preferred colors.
