Equipment

Food Processor
Cookie sheet

Ingredients

Truffles

36 Oreos (regular, not double stuffed)
8 oz. vegan cream cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 ½ cups non-dairy chocolate chips
2 teaspoon coconut oil (or vegetable shortening)

Optional Toppings

Oreo crumbs
Sprinkles
More melted chocolate
Finely chopped nuts

Instructions

Place the Oreos in the food processor and pulse until they are in crumbs.
Add in the vegan cream cheese and vanilla extract. Run the food processor until the Oreos and cream cheese are completely mixed and have an almost dough-like consistency.
Place in Oreo mixture in the fridge or freezer for about 20 minutes. It will be too soft to form into balls without this step.
Quickly roll the dough into 1" balls and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
Place back into the fridge or freezer for another 20-30 minutes.
Combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil in a medium bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds.
Stir the mixture and microwave for another 30 seconds. Repeat this until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Use 2 forks to quickly dip the Oreo balls into the melted chocolate and place on a cooling rack so the excess chocolate can drip off. Add the toppings if you are using them.
Place in the fridge or freezer to set.

Notes

As you are dipping your truffles in chocolate, it's best to work in small batches as you don't want the truffles to warm up and get too soft. Leave the truffles in the freezer and take maybe 8 out at a time.

After dipping the truffles, you can put them on a parchment paper lined tray or on a cooling rack with a cookie sheet underneath. If you choose parchment paper, there will be some extra chocolate at the bottom. If you use a wire rack, they will harden to it as they dry but you can use a knife to carefully pry them off.

Dipping the truffles and getting off the excess chocolate can be a little challenging. I like using forks so that the chocolate can drip off a little easier than with spoons. Tap the fork on the side of the bowl to get more of the chocolate off the truffle.

You can also melt the chocolate in a double boiler instead of the microwave if you prefer.
