Cream Cheese: Full-fat cream cheese is like the glue that brings our Oreo crumbs together. It’s the secret to that irresistible creamy texture that melds beautifully with the crunch of the cookies. It’s not just an ingredient; it’s what gives our truffles their heart.

Step 7: Place them back on the lined tray. If you’re feeling extra, sprinkle some additional crushed Oreos on top for that ‘chef’s kiss’ effect.
Step 8: Finally, let the chocolate set at room temperature for about 15-20 minutes. The hardest part? Waiting to devour them!
Tip:
One great tip that can really enhance the quality of your No Bake Oreo Truffles is to make sure that you give the truffle balls time to chill before dipping them in chocolate. Once you’ve rolled the truffle mixture into balls let them rest in the freezer for 20 minutes. This step is really important because it helps firm up the balls making them much easier to handle and dip into the melted chocolate. If they’re too soft you might end up with a combination of chocolate and truffle filling. The firmness achieved through ensures a smooth and even coating of chocolate resulting in those irresistible truffles that maintain their shape beautifully. Moreover when you bite into one you’ll experience a contrast, between the chilled truffle center and the silky chocolate coating!
