Ingredient Breakdown and Why They Matter

Golden Oreos: These vanilla cookies create the sweet, buttery base of the truffles and balance the tart strawberry flavor.

Cream Cheese: Adds richness and binds the crumbs into a smooth, creamy dough.

Freeze-Dried Strawberries: Provide intense strawberry flavor without adding excess moisture.

White Chocolate: Creates a smooth, sweet coating that pairs perfectly with strawberry.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Crush the Cookies

Place Golden Oreos into a food processor and pulse until very fine. You can also crush them in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. Reserve 2 tablespoons for decoration.

Step 2: Make the Filling

In a large bowl, combine crushed cookies, softened cream cheese, crushed strawberries, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and uniform.

Step 3: Shape the Truffles

Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

Step 4: Melt the Coating

Melt white chocolate with coconut oil in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring each time. Add gel coloring if desired.

Step 5: Dip the Truffles

Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate. Tap off excess and place back on parchment.

Step 6: Decorate

Immediately sprinkle with cookie crumbs or strawberry dust before the coating sets.

Step 7: Chill and Serve

Refrigerate for 15–20 minutes until firm. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Flavor Variations

• Lemon Strawberry — add ½ teaspoon lemon zest
• Chocolate Strawberry — use chocolate Oreos and dark chocolate coating

Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 7 days or freeze for up to 2 months.

Serving Ideas
