These no-bake Creamy Mint Oreo Truffles feature a luscious minty Oreo and cream cheese filling, coated in a glossy chocolate shell. Quick to make and perfect for parties, gifting, or a nostalgic treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 36 Mint Oreo cookies (about 405g or 14.3 oz), crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract, to taste
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips (or melting chocolate)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
  • Crushed Mint Oreos (for sprinkling, optional)
  • Festive sprinkles (optional)
  • 1/4 cup white chocolate chips, melted (for drizzling, optional)
  • Crushed peppermint candies (optional)

Instructions

  1. Place Mint Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, and peppermint extract. Mix until a thick, uniform dough forms. Taste and adjust peppermint extract if desired.
  3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop and roll dough into 1-inch balls. Place on the sheet, spaced apart.
  4. Refrigerate truffle balls for at least 20 minutes, or freeze for 10 minutes until firm.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate chips and coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  6. Using two forks, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, coat fully, and let excess drip off. Place back on the lined baking sheet.
  7. Immediately decorate with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or drizzle with melted white chocolate while the shell is wet.
  8. Let truffles set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes, or refrigerate for 10-15 minutes until chocolate is firm.
  9. Serve chilled or transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

Chill truffle balls before dipping for a smooth chocolate shell. If using regular Oreos, add an extra 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract. For gluten-free or vegan versions, substitute cookies and cream cheese as needed. Decorate quickly as chocolate sets fast. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 2 months.
