Easy Easter Oreo Truffles

Jump to Recipe

Memories of a Fun Easter Treat
I remember a family gathering where I wanted a sweet snack that felt festive and easy to make. I took a simple bag of sandwich cookies, combined them with cream cheese, and created tiny chocolate coated truffles. My cousins called them Easter eggs because we decorated each one with colorful sprinkles. Watching the plate empty in minutes showed me how popular these treats can be. That day, I decided to refine the recipe so anyone could whip up a batch for springtime celebrations or whenever they crave a bite of creamy cookie bliss. These truffles pack sweetness, a smooth interior, and a festive look that friends and family love.

These Easter Oreo Truffles fit different occasions, from a casual gathering to a holiday brunch. You can roll them in colorful sprinkles or drizzle them with white chocolate for a unique look. If you have kids in your home, invite them to help shape the mixture or decorate the top. That step can bring fun to the kitchen and encourage creativity. The best part is the simplicity of the ingredients, and you do not need an oven to make them. Just mix, roll, and chill.

Let’s explore how to put these truffles together and enjoy their rich taste.

Time, Servings, and Calories

Prep Time: About 20 minutes
Chill Time: At least 1 hour
Servings: Approximately 24 truffles
Calories: About 90 per piece

The exact number of truffles depends on how large you roll them. If you make smaller shapes, you can stretch the yield. Plan on at least an hour of chill time, though you can leave them in the fridge longer if you want a firmer texture.

Step by Step Instructions

1. Crush the Cookies

You place the sandwich cookies in a food processor. You pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, you can put the cookies in a plastic bag and use a rolling pin. Press out any large chunks so the mixture becomes uniform.

2. Mix with Cream Cheese

You add softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. You stir or use your hands to work everything together. Aim for a dough like texture. It should hold its shape when you roll it into a small ball. If it feels too sticky, place the bowl in the fridge for a few minutes. That helps the mixture firm up and makes it easier to handle.

3. Shape the Truffles

You line a baking sheet with parchment paper. You scoop up about a tablespoon of dough at a time and roll it in your palms to form a ball. Place each ball on the paper so they do not stick. Make all your truffles before moving on to the next step. This stage can be fun if you have little ones who want to help roll.

4. Chill for Firmness

You place the tray in the fridge for about 30 minutes. That helps the truffles stay firm when you dip them in chocolate. If you skip this chilling step, the balls might crumble or fall apart. Keep the tray in the fridge until you are ready to coat them.

5. Melt the Chocolate

You choose a microwave safe bowl for the chocolate. You microwave in short bursts, stirring each time, until the chocolate melts smoothly. Be careful not to overheat it. That can lead to a grainy texture. Stir in a small spoonful of coconut oil if you want a thinner coating.

6. Dip and Decorate

You take the chilled truffles from the fridge. You drop one into the melted chocolate. Use a fork or a small dipping tool to coat it fully. Lift it out and tap gently on the bowl’s edge to remove excess chocolate. Place it on the parchment lined tray. While the coating is still wet, you sprinkle decorative sugar or pastel sprinkles. Repeat until all truffles are coated.

7. Final Chill

You return the tray to the fridge for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate sets. The coating should become firm. You can then arrange the truffles on a serving platter or store them in an airtight container for later.

Fiber: Less than 1 gram

These numbers can vary depending on the type of cookies or chocolate you choose. Check labels if you want more precise calculations.

Tips for Storage

You can keep these truffles in the fridge for about one week. Place them in a sealed container to maintain freshness and flavor. If you want to store them longer, freeze them for up to a month. Thaw them in the fridge when you plan to eat them. If they sit at room temperature for too long in a warm environment, the chocolate might soften, so return leftovers to the fridge after serving.

Personal Flavor Tweaks

You can get creative by using flavored sandwich cookies. Mint cookies can bring a fresh twist, while peanut butter cookies add depth. You can also drizzle white chocolate on the final product instead of fully coating them. If you enjoy a touch of tartness, mix freeze dried raspberry powder into the chocolate coating. For a crunch, stir chopped nuts or crushed pretzels into the dough before shaping it.

Pairing Suggestions

These truffles work well with a cup of coffee or a light tea. You can pair them with fresh fruit to brighten the sweetness. If you plan an Easter brunch, serve them alongside a savory dish like an egg casserole or a colorful salad. Some people enjoy them as a dessert after a meal that features roasted vegetables and lean protein. Their rich chocolate flavor goes well with lighter sides. You can also set them on a dessert table with fruit tarts and cheesecake bars if you want a varied buffet of sweet treats.
