Delicious!

Even though I have had plenty of baking disasters, now and again I strike a recipe that hits the mark. This isn't really a baking recipe and apart from the chocolate (which can be a little fiddly), it is super easy to make! I made these for Christmas and then for a different crowd on New Year's Eve - and everyone loved them :) Happy eaters, happy cook!

Oreo Cheesecake Truffles

Ingredients

500g block of Philadelphia Cream Cheese
2 packs of Oreo biscuits
Choc Melts (either in milk, white or dark chocolate - or all 3)

Method

Place biscuits in a food processor and process until they are completely crushed.

Add cream cheese to food processor and blend well.

Roll mixture into balls and place on a lined tray in fridge for at least 40 minutes (the firmer they are, the easier they will be to work with).

Melt chocolate in whatever way you prefer (I use the microwave).

Using a toothpick, pick up each ball and coat in chocolate. I found holding them against a spoonful of chocolate helped coat them nicely. You may need to add a dot of chocolate to toothpick hole after pulled out.

I told you they were super easy!! And there's no real cooking involved so not much that can go wrong.

Tip: You have to work quickly when coating so that truffles do not soften and chocolate does not harden :)

Whats your super easy, fail-safe dessert?

  1. They sound great! I sometimes make something very similar - the cream cheese, some cranberries, chopped dried apricot and a dash of rum/brandy, then coated in chocolate. Perfect flavours for Xmas!
