Ingredients

Scale

For the Filling:

  • 1 package Golden Oreos
  • 8 oz softened cream cheese
  • 1 cup strawberry shortcake crumbs (for filling and topping)

For the Coating:

  • 1 cup red candy melts
  • 1 1/2 tsp vegetable shortening
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips

Optional Additions:

  • Lemon zest for extra flavor

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Oreo Mixture

  1. Place the Golden Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.
  3. Fold in 1/2 cup of the strawberry shortcake crumbs for added texture and flavor.

Step 2: Shape the Truffles

  1. Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
  2. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.

Step 3: Melt the Candy Coating

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the red candy melts and vegetable shortening in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.

Step 4: Coat the Truffles

  1. Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled truffle into the melted candy coating, ensuring it’s fully covered.
  2. Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 5: Add White Chocolate Drizzle

  1. Melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl.
  2. Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the coated truffles for a decorative finish.

Step 6: Garnish and Set

  1. Sprinkle the remaining strawberry shortcake crumbs on top of the truffles while the coating is still wet.
  2. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.

Notes

  • Chilling is Essential: Chilling the truffle mixture makes it easier to roll into uniform shapes and ensures the coating adheres properly.
  • Smooth Coating Tip: If the candy melts become too thick, add a small amount of vegetable shortening to achieve a smooth consistency.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese is softened and fresh for a creamy, smooth filling.
  • Customize for Any Occasion: Change the colors of the candy melts or toppings to match holiday themes or special events.
  • Storage Reminder: Store the truffles in an airtight container to maintain freshness, and refrigerate if they won’t be served immediately.
  • Add Zest for Extra Flavor: Lemon zest is optional but adds a bright, tangy twist that pairs beautifully with the sweet strawberry flavor.
