Instructions
Follow these easy steps to create your Vegan Oreo Truffle Balls:
Crush the Oreos
In a food processor, crush the Oreo cookies until they form fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs into a mixing bowl.
Mix the Filling
Add the vegan cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and mix until well combined and smooth.
Form the Balls
Using your hands, take small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt the Chocolate
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the vegan chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until fully melted and smooth.
Dip the Truffles
Using a fork, dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated. Return them to the baking sheet and sprinkle with crushed Oreos or sprinkles, if desired.
Chill and Serve
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Enjoy your Vegan Oreo Truffle Balls!
Once chilled, serve these delightful truffles to your friends and family!
Tips for Perfect Truffles
When making Vegan Oreo Truffle Balls, ensure your cream cheese is at room temperature before mixing. This will help achieve a smoother texture, making it easier to blend with the Oreo crumbs. If you find the mixture too crumbly, you can add a touch more cream cheese until you reach the desired consistency.
For a fun twist, try adding different flavors to the filling. A splash of vanilla extract or a pinch of sea salt can enhance the taste and add depth to your truffles. Feel free to get creative with your additions, as the base recipe is quite forgiving!
