Introduction

These Irish Cream Oreo Truffles are rich, creamy, and irresistibly delicious. Combining the classic crunch of Oreos with smooth Irish cream and chocolate coating, they make an elegant treat perfect for any occasion.

The image shows round chocolate truffles on a dark surface, each coated in a thick layer of dark chocolate with smooth white chocolate drizzled over the top in thin stripes. One truffle is cut in half in the center, revealing a dense, dark, and slightly crumbly chocolate cake-like interior with a rough texture. The outer white chocolate coating looks smooth and creamy, contrasting with the richer, matte dark chocolate layer underneath. The truffles are close together, with a sharp focus on the cut piece and a soft blur on the others behind it. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

24 Oreo cookies
4-5 tablespoons Irish cream liqueur
400 grams dark or white chocolate for dipping (200 grams each can be used)

Instructions

Step 1: Using a food processor, blitz the Oreos into fine crumbs. Add Irish cream liqueur and pulse again until the mixture comes together into a thick, dough-like ball.
Step 2: Scoop and roll the mixture into small, round truffles and place them on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or freeze for 10 minutes to firm up.
Step 3: Melt the chocolate in the microwave or over very low heat on the stove. One at a time, dip the chilled truffles into the melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place them back on the lined baking sheet. Decorate as desired with contrasting chocolate, sprinkles, or additional Oreo crumbs.
Step 4: Allow the chocolate coating to set at room temperature for 30-45 minutes. Once set, store the truffles in the fridge and enjoy!

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of dark and white chocolate for a visually appealing contrast in flavor and color.
Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the Oreo mixture for an extra depth of flavor.
For a firmer texture, reduce the amount of Irish cream slightly.
Decorate with crushed nuts or sea salt for a unique twist.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. To reheat, simply let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving to soften slightly.

How to Serve

A slate black rectangular tray holds fifteen round, bite-sized treats, each covered in a smooth mix of dark and white chocolate, with the dark chocolate mostly on the bottom half and white chocolate drizzled in thin lines on top, creating a striped effect. Around the tray are several whole and broken chocolate sandwich cookies with cream in the middle, showing dark brown and white layers. There is a white teapot on the left side and a dark blue cylindrical container in the background on a white marbled surface. The scene looks simple and clean with nice contrasts between dark and light elements. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use a different liqueur instead of Irish cream?

Yes, you can substitute Irish cream with other cream-based liqueurs or flavored extracts, but the taste will vary slightly.

How do I prevent the chocolate from melting on the truffles?

Make sure the truffles are well chilled before dipping and use a fork or dipping tool to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Set the dipped truffles on a cool, lined surface and let the chocolate harden at room temperature or in the fridge.
