Ghost Oreo Ball Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These Ghost OREO Ball Truffles are a fun and spooky treat perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. Made with crushed Oreos and cream cheese, then coated in white chocolate, they’re both creamy and crunchy in every bite.

Ingredients

• 36 Oreo Cookies (Swap for gluten-free Oreos if needed)
• 8 oz Cream Cheese (Use full-fat for richer taste)
• 12 oz White Chocolate (Feel free to try milk or dark chocolate)
• Sprinkles or Edible Eyes (Optional for decoration)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs.
2. Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese. Mix until well-blended and smooth.
3. Step 3: Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, shaping them into ghost-like figures.
4. Step 4: Place the shaped truffles onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and chill for about 15 minutes.
5. Step 5: Melt the white chocolate in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between, until smooth.
6. Step 6: Dip each ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
7. Step 7: Before the coating sets, add sprinkles or edible eyes for decoration.
8. Step 8: Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens completely, about 30 minutes.

Tips & Variations

• For a firmer texture, chill the truffle mixture longer before shaping.
• Use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for different flavors.
• Try adding a drop of vanilla extract to the mixture for extra flavor.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Before serving, let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften slightly. These truffles can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw in the fridge overnight before enjoying.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of cookie instead of Oreos?

Yes, you can use other sandwich cookies or chocolate cookies, but the flavor and texture may vary slightly. Make sure they are finely crushed for the best results.

How do I prevent the white chocolate from seizing when melting?

Melt the white chocolate in short bursts of 20-30 seconds and stir well between intervals. Use a clean, dry bowl and avoid any water contact, as moisture can cause the chocolate to seize.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Base Ingredients

• 36 Oreo Cookies (or gluten-free Oreos if preferred)
• 8 oz Cream Cheese, softened (full-fat recommended for richer taste)

Coating and Decoration

• 12 oz White Chocolate (milk or dark chocolate can be used as alternatives)
• Sprinkles or Edible Eyes (optional, for decorating the ghosts)

Instructions

1. Crush the Oreos: Place all Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they are ground into fine crumbs, ensuring there are no large chunks left.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese: Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is evenly combined and has a smooth, dough-like consistency.
3. Shape the Ghosts: Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Then gently shape these balls into ghost-like figures using your hands for a spooky effect.
4. Chill the Truffles: Arrange the shaped ghost truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes to firm up before coating.
5. Melt the Chocolate: In short bursts of 20-30 seconds, melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between intervals until the chocolate is completely smooth.
6. Coat the Ghosts: Dip each chilled ghost truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure it is fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment paper.
7. Add Decorations: While the chocolate coating is still wet, quickly add sprinkles or edible eyes to give your ghosts personality and charm.
8. Set the Coating: Allow the coated truffles to sit at room temperature for approximately 30 minutes or until the white chocolate hardens completely.

Notes

• Use gluten-free Oreo cookies to make this recipe suitable for gluten-free diets.
• For richer flavor, use full-fat cream cheese rather than reduced-fat versions.
• If white chocolate is unavailable, milk or dark chocolate can be substituted, though this will alter the classic ghostly appearance.
• Storing the truffles in the refrigerator after coating will speed up the setting process.
• These truffles should be kept refrigerated if not consumed within a few hours as they contain cream cheese.
