Irish Cream Oreo Truffles
My favorite Oreo truffles without cream cheese and with a splash of Irish cream! So easy, so pretty, so decadent!
Ingredients
- 24 Oreo cookies
- 4-5 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
- 400 grams dark or white chocolate for dipping (I used 200 grams of each - see note 1)
Instructions
- Using a food processor, blitz the Oreos into fine crumbs. Add Irish cream and pulse again until the mixture comes together into a thick, dough-like ball. (See photos above for a visual.)
- Scoop and roll the mixture into small, round truffles and place on a lined baking sheet. (See note 2.) Refrigerate for about 1 hour or freeze for 10 minutes.
- When the truffles are chilled and firm, melt the chocolate in the microwave or over very low heat on the stove. One at a time, dip chilled truffles into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Allow some excess chocolate to drip off, then place back on the lined baking sheet. Decorate with a contrasting chocolate, sprinkles, or additional Oreo crumbs as desired.
- Allow chocolate to set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, then store in the fridge, and enjoy!
Notes
Note 1 - You will likely have some extra melted chocolate, but it's very hard to dip the last truffles if you don't melt slightly more than is needed just to cover the truffles.
You could dip, pour, or drizzle the extra chocolate over any remaining Oreos in your pantry, but you're a more responsible person than I am and probably wouldn't do that to yourself on the very same day that you made a big batch of Irish cream Oreo truffles. Or would you?
Note 2 - To scoop the truffles pictured here, I used a tablespoon measure - each truffle is a scant tablespoon worth of dough. When it comes time to roll them, just use the palms of your hands. It helps to use slightly damp hands, and first press the mixture together to pack it tightly, then roll to smooth out the edges.
Note 3 - I found it best to store these in an airtight container in the fridge, then allow to sit at room temperature for 20-30 minutes before serving.
But, they're very flexible - if you like frozen candies and treats, I bet you'd love the texture of these truffles straight from the fridge! Alternatively, they will certainly keep fine at room temperature - no cream cheese, after all - it's just that this may cause the chocolate to sweat or even re-melt slightly if it's quite warm.
