Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 Red Velvet Oreos, crushed (or substitute with regular Oreos plus 2 tbsp red velvet cake mix)
  • 1 cup (100g) red velvet cake mix (dry, not prepared)
  • 6 oz (170g) cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tbsp (30ml) heavy cream (optional, for extra creaminess)
  • 12 oz (340g) white chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 tbsp (14g) coconut oil
  • Red velvet cake crumbs (optional, for decoration)
  • Mini Oreo pieces (optional, for decoration)
  • Sprinkles (optional, for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Place 24 Red Velvet Oreos (or regular Oreos plus cake mix) in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, crush cookies in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs, 1 cup red velvet cake mix, and 6 oz softened cream cheese. Add 2 tbsp heavy cream if desired. Beat until thick and evenly blended.
  3. Scoop out 1 tablespoon portions and roll into balls (about 1 inch diameter). If mixture is sticky, chill for 10 minutes before rolling. Place balls on a baking sheet lined with wax or parchment paper.
  4. Refrigerate truffle balls for 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes to help them hold shape.
  5. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 oz white chocolate melting wafers and 1 tbsp coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth and glossy. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler.
  6. Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle ball into melted chocolate, turning to coat. Tap off excess chocolate and place back on the lined tray.
  7. While coating is still soft, decorate with red velvet cake crumbs, mini Oreo pieces, or sprinkles. Optionally, drizzle extra melted chocolate on top.
  8. Allow coated truffles to set in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, or until firm and glossy. Serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

Chill truffle balls well before dipping to prevent them from falling apart. Use high-quality chocolate for a smooth finish. For gluten-free or dairy-free adaptations, substitute cookies, cake mix, and cream cheese accordingly. Truffles can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to 5 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Decorate with sprinkles or cake crumbs for a festive look.
