Ingredients

• 133.3 g Fresh cheese ( at room temperature )
• 166.7 g Dark chocolate ( crushed )
• 0.7 tsp Vanilla extract optional ( liquid )
• 200 g Oreo Cookies

Instructions

1. Crushing the cookies

   Crush the cookies until they reach a fine, sandy texture. No large chunks should remain to ensure a smooth truffle consistency.

2. Binding the mixture

   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. Shaping and chilling

   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. Chocolate coating

   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.

Chef's tips

• Use a fork to dip the balls, this allows excess chocolate to drain cleanly.
• Do not skip the chilling step, otherwise your truffles will fall apart in the warm chocolate.

Storage

Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
