Description
Rich chocolate and creamy peanut butter oreo truffles merge classic flavors into irresistible bite-sized treats. Chilled chocolate-dipped delights offer a perfect balance of sweet and indulgent textures you’ll crave.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (470 ml) peanut butter
- 33 Oreo cookies (about 3 cups crumbs), crushed
- 1.5 cups (180 g) powdered sugar
- 20 oz (567 g) milk chocolate or dark chocolate for melting
Instructions
- Preparation: Pulverize Oreo cookies into ultra-fine crumbs using a food processor, ensuring complete uniformity without any substantial fragments.
- Mixture Creation: Blend processed Oreo crumbs with peanut butter and powdered sugar using an electric mixer, generating a cohesive, smooth consistency that easily forms into compact shapes.
- Truffle Formation: Employ a cookie scoop to create precise, uniform spheres, methodically rolling each portion between palms to craft immaculate, round truffles with seamless surfaces.
- Chilling Phase: Arrange truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for approximately 30 minutes, solidifying their structural integrity and preparing them for chocolate enrobing.
- Chocolate Coating: Gradually melt chocolate in microwave-safe container, stirring between 30-second intervals to achieve a silky, glossy finish without thermal damage.
- Dipping Process: Carefully immerse each chilled truffle into molten chocolate, allowing excess coating to elegantly cascade off before positioning on parchment paper.
- Embellishment and Setting: Optionally garnish with crushed Oreo fragments while chocolate remains liquid, then permit complete solidification at ambient temperature before transferring to an airtight storage container.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency Matters: Pulse Oreos thoroughly to achieve fine, uniform crumbs without large chunks for smooth, even truffle texture.
- Chill Before Coating: Freezing truffles for 30 minutes helps them maintain shape and prevents crumbling during chocolate dipping process.
- Chocolate Melting Technique: Use short microwave intervals and stir between each to prevent chocolate from burning and ensure glossy, smooth coating.
- Storage Secrets: Keep truffles in airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days or refrigerate for up to a week to maintain optimal freshness and taste.
