Prep Time 20 minutes
Cook Time 5 minutes
Chill Time 8 hours
Total Time 8 hours 25 minutes

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ¾ cup whole milk
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 ½ cups Oreo crumbs about 15 Oreos
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups chocolate melting wafers
  • sea salt for topping
  • Oreo crumbs for topping

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan, over medium-high heat, bring the heavy cream and milk to a light simmer.
  • Remove from heat and add the chocolate chips to the mixture (do not stir and let them set for 5 minutes until melted), then whisk together until combined.
  • Whisk in the cocoa powder, Oreo crumbs, and salt until incorporated.
  • Pour the mixture into a heat-safe bowl and place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 6 hours.
  • Use a small or medium cookie scoop to scoop out the truffle mixture, and roll them between your palms to form a round ball.
  • Place the balls on a wax paper-lined baking sheet or a silicone mat, and place them in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
  • Melt the melting wafers in a deep cup or bowl and use a dipping tool or fork to dip the truffles in the chocolate, then place them on a clean sheet of wax paper on a cookie sheet and allow to cool until set.

Notes

  • Use standard Oreos for this recipe, avoid double stuffed and flavored Oreos.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
  • These truffles are soft which is why they need to be chilled for so long to set up.
  • This recipe was also tested with bittersweet chocolate chips with great results.
  • Dip the truffles in chocolate or chocolate melting wafers using a dipping tool or a fork.
  • You can easily make these peppermint truffles by adding ¼ to ½ teaspoon of peppermint extract.
