Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 oz / 405g) Oreo Cookies
- 8 oz (226g) Neufchâtel cheese, softened
- 0.5 tsp (2.5g) Fine sea salt
- 12 oz (340g) High-quality white chocolate baking bars
- 1 tbsp (14g) Refined coconut oil
- 2 drops Red oil-based food coloring
- 2 drops Blue oil-based food coloring
- 2 tbsp (30g) Patriotic star sprinkles
Instructions:
- Pulse the Oreo cookies in a food processor until they reach a fine, sandy texture with no large chunks remaining. Note: Large chunks will cause the truffles to crumble when you try to roll them.
- Add the softened Neufchâtel cheese and sea salt to the processor. Pulse until the mixture forms a heavy, cohesive dough that pulls away from the sides.
- Scoop 1 tablespoon portions and roll between your palms to form smooth spheres. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet and freeze for 20 minutes to set the fats.
- Melt white chocolate and coconut oil in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until completely smooth and glossy.
- Transfer small amounts of melted chocolate into two separate bowls; tint one red and one blue using oil based food coloring.
- Dip chilled balls into the white chocolate using a fork, tapping off excess. Work quickly until the surface is perfectly smooth.
- Drizzle with red and blue chocolate using a spoon or piping bag and immediately top with star sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Chill the finished truffles in the refrigerator for at least 25 minutes before serving until you hear a snap when broken. > Chef Tip: If your chocolate starts to thicken while dipping, pop it back in the microwave for 10 seconds. Cold truffles will naturally lower the temperature of your dipping chocolate as you work.
