Ingredients:
- 14.3 oz Golden Oreos
- 8 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
- 12 oz vibrant green candy melts
- 2 tsp refined coconut oil
- 36 red heart sprinkles
Instructions:
- Pulse the cookies. Place the 14.3 oz Golden Oreos (including cream filling) into a food processor and pulse until they reach a fine, uniform crumb consistency. Note: Tiny chunks will cause the truffles to fall apart later.
- Bind the dough. Add the 8 oz softened cream cheese, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 1/8 tsp sea salt to the processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a stable, cohesive dough that pulls away from the sides.
- Portion the cores. Using a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion the mixture into 36 balls. Note: Using a scoop ensures even cooking and a professional look.
- Smooth the surface. Roll each portion between your palms until perfectly smooth and place them on a parchment lined baking sheet.
- Chill the centers. Place the tray in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour. Wait until the balls are firm to the touch before proceeding to the next step.
- Melt the coating. In a glass bowl, melt the 12 oz green candy melts with 2 tsp coconut oil in 30 second bursts. Stir until the mixture is fluid and silky.
- Submerge and coat. Using a dipping fork, submerge each chilled truffle into the green coating. Tap the fork against the bowl to remove every drop of excess chocolate.
- Add the heart. Immediately place one red heart sprinkle on each truffle. Do this before the coating sets, which usually happens within 60 seconds.
- Final set. Allow the truffles to firm up at room temperature for 20 minutes until the surface is matte and hard.
