# How To Make It:

02 - Process mint Oreo cookies in a food processor until reduced to fine crumbs. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbs for garnish if desired.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs and pulse until completely combined into a thick, uniform dough texture.
04 - Roll the dough mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up the truffles before coating.
06 - Microwave chocolate in a heat-safe bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
07 - Using forks, submerge each chilled truffle in melted chocolate, allow excess coating to drip off, and return to the baking sheet.
08 - Immediately sprinkle with reserved crushed cookies or drizzle with melted white chocolate while chocolate coating remains wet.
09 - Refrigerate coated truffles for at least 30 minutes until chocolate hardens completely.
10 - Serve truffles chilled or allow to come to room temperature before serving.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • These five ingredient truffles come together in under thirty minutes of active work
  • The mint chocolate flavor combination feels sophisticated despite being incredibly simple to make
02 -
  • If the truffle mixture starts sticking to your hands while rolling, lightly coat your palms with powdered sugar
  • Room temperature truffles can get soft quickly, so serve them chilled if your event will last more than an hour
03 -
  • Work quickly once the truffles come out of the freezer, as condensation can prevent the chocolate from adhering properly
  • Tap your forks gently against the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate without making the coating too thin
