Valentines day oreo truffles

The fun part with these valentine truffles is that you can basically make them into any shape you like. But let’s start with what you need to make them (as always you will find the exact amounts in the recipe card below)

• 2 rolls of Oreo cookies (28 cookies in total)
• cream cheese – 100 gram or 3.5 ounces of cream cheese (at room temperature)
• milk chocolate – obviously you can also use white chocolate, dark chocolate or another melted chocolate if you prefer. Pink candy melts will give it an extra special romantic twist.

You will also need a heart shaped cookie cutter. Something like this one.

How to make these oreo truffles

A while ago I showed you how to make chocolate covered oreo cookies which is basically the simple way of making these valentines hearts. The biggest difference is that you start the process by adding all the Oreo’s into the food processor and blitz them into fine crumbs. You can also make crushed Oreos by using a rolling pin and your hands but the easiest way is with a machine.

You add the cream cheese to the Oreo cookie crumbs and you mix this into some kind of cookie dough. Now roll the cookie mixture out into a flat disc, place this on a baking sheet and using a heart shaped cookie cutter cut out hearts. Depending on the size of your cookie cutter you will be able to make roughly 20 Valentine’s day Oreo truffles with this recipe.

Dipping in chocolate

Once you’ve cut out all the hearts let it cool in the fridge for at least an hour. Once they are cool enough you melt the chocolate by using either a double boiler or melt it in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl in 5 second intervals.

Now it is time to add the chocolate coating. Dip the truffle hearts into the melted chocolate and let the excess chocolate drip of before you place it on a piece of parchment paper or wax paper. Sprinkle the festive sprinkles on while the chocolate is still wet so they will stick to the hearts once the chocolate sets.

It’s one of my favorite Valentine’s day recipes as it uses pretty simple ingredients and is a very easy recipe which will give you the perfect treat for Valentines!

Baking tip: Heart shaped sprinkles are the perfect finishing touch for these cookies. Or for even more fun, make your own sprinkle mix by combining different kinds together.

How long can I keep this oOeo truffle recipe?

You can keep the Valentines day Oreo truffles for 4-5 days in an airtight container stored in the fridge.

Variations

The fun thing with this perfect sweet treat is that you can easily convert it into any cookie shape you like. Make it into Oreo Easter Bunnies for instance or whatever other cookie cutter you have available. The recipe is pretty flexible and fun to create your own shapes.
