Oreo Truffle Balls Pink Coating (Printable)

Creamy Oreo-cream cheese centers dipped in pink candy coating for a sweet, crunchy shell. Perfect for parties and celebrations.

# What You'll Need:

→ Truffle Base

01 - 36 Oreo cookies with filling (14.3 oz)
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, room temperature

→ Coating and Decoration

03 - 12 oz pink candy melts or white candy melts tinted with pink oil-based coloring
04 - 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening, optional
05 - Sprinkles or edible pearls for decoration, optional

# How To Make It:

01 - Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place cookies in a sealed zip-top bag and crush using a rolling pin.
02 - Transfer crumbs to a mixing bowl. Add softened cream cheese and stir with a spatula until completely combined and uniform in color.
03 - Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into firm balls between your palms. Place each truffle onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture.
04 - Chill truffle balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or freezer for 15 minutes, until firm enough for dipping.
05 - Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals at medium power, stirring between each session until smooth. Stir in vegetable shortening if desired for a shinier, smoother coating.
06 - Using a dipping fork or regular fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted candy coating. Tap gently to remove excess coating, then return to the parchment-lined tray.
07 - While the coating is still wet, decorate with sprinkles or edible pearls as desired.
08 - Let the coated truffles set at room temperature, or chill in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes until the coating is hardened.
09 - Serve chilled. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • They hold up beautifully at room temperature during parties, no melting drama.
  • The Oreo and cream cheese combo tastes like cookies and cream ice cream in truffle form.
  • You can tint the candy coating any color to match your theme or mood.
  • No oven required, making them a lifesaver on hot summer days.
02 -
  • If your candy coating seizes and turns grainy, you likely got water in it, always use oil-based coloring and dry utensils.
  • Chilling the truffle balls before dipping is the secret to a smooth, even coat that doesn't slide off or crack.
  • Don't overheat the candy melts or they'll become thick and hard to work with, low and slow wins every time.
03 -
  • Use a small cookie scoop to portion the truffles so they're all the same size and look professional.
  • If you're making these ahead, freeze the uncoated balls for up to a month, then thaw and dip them the day of your event.
  • For a two-tone look, drizzle contrasting melted chocolate over the set truffles with a fork or piping bag.
