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)
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Add Decorations: While the chocolate coating is still wet, quickly add sprinkles or edible eyes to give your ghosts personality and charm.
- 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.
