Common Questions About Snowcone Oreo Truffles
Can I use regular Oreos instead of vanilla Oreos?
Yes, you can! If you prefer the classic Oreo flavor, regular Oreos work just as well. The process remains the same, and you’ll end up with delicious Oreo truffles with a rich, chocolatey flavor instead of a vanilla one.
You might want to do a double coating of chocolate as the dark color of regular Oreos will show through the white chocolate when making these.
Do I need a food processor to make these truffles?
While a food processor makes it easier to crush the Oreo cookies and mix in the cream cheese, you can also use a rolling pin to crush the Oreos in a ziplock bag and a hand mixer to blend in the cream cheese. It might take a bit more effort, but it works just fine!
How long do these truffles last?
Stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, these Oreo balls can last up to 3-4 days. They’re perfect for making ahead of time and serving when you’re ready.
Storage
Put these in a pretty box and give them away as gifts! Your friends and family will love them.
Refrigerator
Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. This keeps them fresh and prevents the chocolate coating from melting.
Keep in mind that sanding sugar tends to sweat when it gets cold and then comes back to room temperature. So the colors may bleed if these are refrigerated. I do recommend enjoying while fresh.
Freezer
You can freeze the truffles for up to 2 months. Place them in a freezer-safe container, making sure they’re in a single layer to avoid sticking. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving.
Tips
That little Oreo disc is just so perfect for so many fun recipes. This one ranks in my top five!
- Chill the dough: Freezing the Oreo mixture balls before dipping them helps the candy coating set better.
- Work quickly: The melted chocolate hardens fast, so be quick when coating and decorating.
- Use a small cookie scoop: For evenly sized truffles.
- Let excess chocolate drip: Hold the truffle over the edge of the bowl to let any excess chocolate drip off before setting it down.
- Decorate immediately: Add the sanding sugar right after coating to ensure it sticks.
Ingredients
Today we’re using vanilla Oreos, but feel free to experiment. Nothing says you have to stick with the original recipe!
- Vanilla Oreos – Golden Oreos
- Cream cheese – softened to room temperature
- Vanilla almond bark
- Red, white, and blue sanding sugar
How to Make Snowcone Oreo Truffles
Heck, maybe you want the double stuf! I won’t judge. This list should get you through this recipe without problem!
Keep in mind that if you use a cookie with a thicker filling, it will change the ratios with the cream cheese and alter the consistency and texture of the truffles.
- Add the Oreos to a food processor and turn on until fine crumbs form.
- Add the cream cheese and pulse until everything is combined and a wet dough forms.
- Form the mixture into 1/2-inch truffles and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Once formed place them in the freezer for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
- Place half the almond bark into a small microwave-safe bowl, microwave in 30-second increments, and stir until completely melted.
- Once melted, drop the truffles into the almond bark (1-2 at a time) and gently toss to coat.
- Pour the sanding sugar into three separate bowls
- Place the other half of the almond bark in a new microwave-safe bowl and melt in the microwave.
- (I used a small flat paint brush for this next step, you can try using a small butter knife it will just be a little messy.)
- Using a small paint brush, dip it in the melted almond bark and paint the almond bark on the side of the truffle, then immediately dip it in the red sprinkles.
- Repeat for the white sprinkles, let dry (takes about 5-10 seconds to harden) then repeat with the blue sprinkles. Let the truffles set on parchment paper.
- Repeat until all the truffles are decorated.
- You can use little paper cups for serving to really make them look like snow cones.
