Ghost Oreo Ball Treats (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Truffle Mixture
01 -
120 grams Oreo cookies, crushed into fine crumbs
02 -
113 grams full-fat cream cheese, softened to room temperature
→ Chocolate Coating
03 -
150 grams white chocolate, chopped for melting
→ Decoration
04 -
Assorted edible eyes or sprinkles, optional
# Step-by-Step Directions:
01 -
Place Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix thoroughly using a spatula or hand mixer until smooth, approximately 3 to 5 minutes.
03 -
Scoop portions of the mixture and roll each between your palms to form uniform balls approximately 2.5 cm in diameter. Shape each ball with a slightly pointed top to resemble ghosts.
04 -
Arrange the shaped truffles on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up for coating.
05 -
Gently melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, heating in 20-30 second intervals and stirring between bursts until fully smooth. Be careful to avoid burning.
06 -
Remove chilled truffles from refrigerator and dip each into the melted white chocolate to coat completely. Use a fork to lift them out, letting excess chocolate drip off, then place back on parchment.
07 -
Before the coating sets, apply edible eyes or sprinkles to each ghost truffle for a playful finish.
08 -
Allow coated truffles to sit at room temperature for 30 minutes until chocolate hardens fully. Alternatively, refrigerate 10-15 minutes for quicker setting before serving.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is softened to room temperature for smooth blending. Chill truffles before coating to retain shape and ease handling. Melt chocolate gently to avoid burning and maintain a smooth texture.
