# How to Make It:

02 - In a food processor, pulse Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the crumbs and blend until fully combined and smooth.
04 - Scoop out heaping tablespoons of the mixture and roll into 1-inch balls. Place on prepared baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the balls for at least 45 minutes, or until firm.

07 - Add green food coloring to the melted chocolate and mix until desired shade is achieved.
08 - Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each truffle ball into the green chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.

10 - Let the coating set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes until firm.
11 - Store truffle balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • They taste like elevated cookie dough without any of the baking stress.
  • Your hands stay relatively clean if you use a fork for dipping, which is secretly the best kitchen discovery ever.
  • They actually look impressive on a plate even though making them requires almost no culinary skill.
02 -
  • Frozen truffle balls dip so much more cleanly than room temperature ones, and that one detail is the difference between beautiful truffles and ones that look like they've been in a kitchen accident.
  • Oil-based or gel food coloring is absolutely non-negotiable with chocolate, because water will seize it faster than you can say 'oops'.
03 -
  • A dipping fork or chocolate fork makes the whole process feel professional and keeps your regular forks from getting permanently chocolate-stained.
  • If your chocolate gets too thick while you're dipping, pop it back in the microwave for 10 seconds rather than fighting with thick coating.
