Oreo Truffles
Ingredients
- 133.3 gFresh cheese (at room temperature)
- 166.7 gDark chocolate (crushed)
- 0.7 tspVanilla extract (liquid)
- 200 gOreo Cookies
Method
A crisp dark chocolate shell that snaps to reveal a dense, smooth center. A sharp contrast between intense cocoa bitterness and the mild creaminess of fresh cheese.
- 1
Crush the cookies until they reach a fine, sandy texture. No large chunks should remain to ensure a smooth truffle consistency.
- 2
Mix the fresh cheese into the crumbs. Work the mass with a spatula or by hand until the dough is supple, malleable, and no longer sticks to the bowl.
- 3
Roll small walnut-sized balls between your palms. Place them on a tray and chill. The balls must be firm to the touch before coating.
- 4
Melt the dark chocolate in a bain-marie. Dip each cold ball into the melted chocolate, drain the excess, and place on parchment paper. The chocolate should set quickly upon contact with the cold centers.
