How to Make Gingerbread Oreo Truffles

Step 1: Make the Truffle Filling

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Place the whole Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they resemble a sand-like texture with no large chunks remaining. Add the softened cream cheese, molasses, ground ginger, and ground cinnamon to the food processor. Pulse until well combined and the mixture forms a dough.

Step 2: Shape and Freeze

Use a small cookie scoop (about 1 tablespoon) to portion out mounds of the truffle dough. Roll the portions into balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze the truffle balls for at least 2 hours, or until solid. Freezing the truffles will make them easier to dip and coat.

Step 3: Melt the White Chocolate

Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt them in 30-second increments, stirring after each increment, until smooth. It’s best to microwave the chips until they’re almost melted, then stir to finish melting them completely. This prevents the chocolate from overheating and becoming grainy.

Step 4: Dip and Coat

Place a frozen truffle ball on the edge of a fork and dip it into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Tap the fork against the edge of the bowl to remove any excess chocolate. Place the coated truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining truffle balls.

Step 5: Decorate (Optional)

If desired, you can decorate the truffles with a white chocolate drizzle and gingerbread men sprinkles. Reheat the remaining melted white chocolate and transfer it to a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a small corner snipped off. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the coated truffles. Immediately place a gingerbread man sprinkle on top of each drizzle before the chocolate sets.

Step 6: Chill and Serve

Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate drizzle hardens. Once set, the Gingerbread Oreo Truffles are ready to be enjoyed!

Pro Tips for Making the Recipe

Freeze the truffles: Freezing the truffle balls makes them easier to handle and dip in the chocolate.
Don’t overheat the chocolate: Overheating the chocolate can cause it to become grainy or seize up. Melt it slowly in short intervals, stirring between each interval.
