You might hear the word truffle and think that these are too fancy too make and will be way too difficult. You are dead wrong! These are super easy to make and could not be any yummier. They are super cute and everyone will be surely impressed by how decadent they look and taste. They definitely look fancy and very expensive, but they are actually quite simple to make. They are not too expensive to make either. One batch of these goes a very long way. I was really impressed the first time I made these.
Check out what our friends from Confessions Of A Chocoholic have to say about this:
“I made these Hazelnut Oreo Truffles twice in the last month to bring to parties, and everyone thought that I must have spent hours making them.”
You won’t believe how easy these are to make!
Ingredients
24 Oreo cookies
1/2 cup Nutella
8 oz whipped Philadelphia cream cheese
1 cup roasted hazelnuts
10 oz milk chocolate (or dark chocolate)
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional)
sprinkles or crushed oreos for topping
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos. I just placed them in a large ziploc bag, then whacked away with a rolling pin. (You can use a food processor if you prefer, but I like the stress relief I get by crushing them manually.)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed Oreos, Nutella, and whipped cream cheese. Blend well and fold in hazelnuts.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, portion out balls on to a wax-paper lined cookie sheet. You can also use a heaping tablespoon and roll out balls with your hands. (I used a cookie scoop and ended up with 26 truffles, about golf ball sized.) Transfer balls to freezer and freeze for 15 minutes.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add chocolate (and coconut oil, if using). Heat for one minute and stir, and continue heating in 30 second increments until melted and smooth.
- Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate and transfer back to the wax paper. Immediately after dipping each truffle, top with crushed oreos or sprinkles.
- Chill in fridge or freezer until chocolate hardens, and keep chilled until ready to serve.
