Ingredients
  

  • 20 pieces Golden Oreo cookies about 2 cups of crushed cookies
  • 4 oz Cream cheese softened
  • 12 oz White chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 g Gold food coloring or edible gold dust optional for decoration

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Microwave-safe bowl
  • Spoon or small scoop

Method
 

  1. Place the golden Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed into crumbs.
  2. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Mix together until fully combined and the mixture is smooth but firm enough to roll.
  3. Scoop about one tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your palms into a small, round ball. Place each ball on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  4. Repeat until all the mixture has been shaped into approximately 24 balls, then chill them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to firm up.
  5. Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals and stirring between each until smooth and glossy.
  6. Using a fork or a small spoon, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper.
  7. If desired, sprinkle a pinch of edible gold dust or color a small amount of the melted chocolate with gold food coloring for a shimmering finish before coating the balls.
  8. Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster hardening, about 10-15 minutes.
  9. Once the coating is firm and shiny, transfer the truffles to a serving platter or store in an airtight container for festive snacking or gifting.

Notes

For extra sparkle, dust the finished truffles with edible gold powder. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve to maintain freshness and shine.
