Here is an EAZY Easter treat you can bring to your next Easter get-together! These truffles take about an hour to make from start to finish. These Oreo Egg Truffles are made from Carrot Cake Oreos. Yum!!!
These are great treats for your kids to decorate too. Maybe instead of dying eggs, have your kids decorate these Oreo Egg Truffles. My kids never eat the boiled eggs but they will definitely eat these Oreo Egg Truffles!
How To Make Oreo Easter Egg Truffles
First, gather all your ingredients. You will only need 4 ingredients unless you swap out the chocolate chips and coconut oil for melting chocolate, then you will only need 3 ingredients which is even less. Even better in my opinion!
- 1 package of Carrot Cake Oreos
- 6 ounces of cream cheese
- White Melting Chocolate (I like using Candiquik) OR 1 package of White Chocolate Chips & 2 teaspoons of coconut oil
- Parchment paper or silicone baking mat
- Optional: Melting chocolate (such as Wilton Candy Melts), sprinkles, or other decorations
First, place Oreos in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.
Next, add the cream cheese and pulse until thoroughly blended.
Now it’s time to form the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into eggs. Make sure you place the Oreo Egg Truffles on a silicone baking mat or parchment paper so they do not stick to your baking pan.
Using a melon baller, small cookie scoop, or a tablespoon, form the mixture into an egg shape of equal size and place onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Freeze for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.
DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! You do not want to dip the Oreo Egg Truffles while they are still warm. They will be super hard to work with and you will end up having Oreo Egg Truffle mixture all in your chocolate which you do not want.
Once the Oreo Egg Truffles are frozen and you are using melting chocolate like Candiquik, follow the directions on the package to melt the chocolate.
If you are using white chocolate chips place them in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave the white chocolate chips in 15-second intervals until melted and smooth. Mix coconut oil into the white chocolate. Adding the coconut oil to the chocolate chips will help thin out the chocolate making it easier for you to dip the Oreo Egg Truffles.
Using a fork, dip one Oreo Egg Truffle in the chocolate. Spoon chocolate over the top to make sure it is completely coated, then tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to drain excess. I use a toothpick to gently push the Oreo Egg Truffle off of the fork.
NOTE: When you dip the balls the Oreos can leave some crumbs in the coating. To solve this Oreo crumb mess, you can divide the coating in half into two bowls. Dip the Oreo balls in the first bowl and if some crumbs get in the coating dip it a second time but in the second bowl with no crumb in the coating.
Transfer each Oreo Egg Truffle back to the baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
If you plan on putting sprinkles or any decoration that you want to stick on the Oreo Egg Truffles do this immediately as the chocolate hardens quickly. Allow the sprinkles, decorations, and chocolate to harden.
Repeat until all the Oreo Egg Truffles are coated in chocolate.
You can also use Wiltons Candy Melts to make the design I made on my truffles. Simply melt the chocolate according to the packing directions. Pour the melted chocolate in a sandwich ziplock bag and cut a small piece from one corner of the bag. Gently press the bag while moving your hand horizontally back and forth to get the simple zig-zag design.
Truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 5 plus days.
Tips & Tricks:
- You can use any Oreo cookie you want. The “special edition” Oreos are usually smaller packages than the regular Oreos which will require less cream cheese. So if you want to use regular Oreos you can and you can use a whole package of the cream cheese which is 8 ounces.
- When you dip the balls the Oreos can leave some crumbs in the coating. To solve this Oreo crumb mess, you can divide the coating in half into two bowls. Dip the Oreo balls in the first bowl and if some crumbs get in the coating dip it a second time but in the second bowl with no crumb in the coating.
- Some of my favorite gadgets to bake with are the Solula Professional 18/8 Stainless Steel Medium Cookie Scoop I got from Amazon. I also love the LARGE baking pan I got from my favorite store Target Wilton Ultra Bake Professional. Lastly, I love using Amazon Basics Silicone Baking Mat instead of parchment paper. They are super easy to clean and they fit perfectly in your baking pan.
- A quick tip is to use a good quality chocolate. Trust me, it will make your cookie taste that much better. My favorite go-to chocolate chips are Ghirardelli Chocolate Chips. They are seriously the best chocolate chips.
