Lemon Oreo Truffles are a 3 ingredient treat that you're going to love.

I’m willing to bet that you can make a batch of these truffles in less time than it took me to write this post. And I’m also willing to bet that these Lemon Oreo Truffles will disappear even faster.

The centers of these Oreo truffles are made of crushed Oreos and cream cheese. That’s it.

Lemon Oreo Truffles

Cream cheese and Oreos have a magical relationship that makes them so creamy people might think you slaved over the stove with a candy thermometer.

Lemon Oreos are my new favorite Oreo. The lemon is just a perfect fit for the creamy Oreo filling. I’m not sure what I’m going to do if they’re ever discontinued!

How To Make Oreo Truffles

To make these truffles, you’ll finely crush a package of lemon Oreos in the food processor. Combine the crumbs and a package of softened cream cheese and beat together until smooth.

Roll the mixture into balls and place in the freezer. Melt white chocolate in the microwave until smooth. Dip the slightly frozen balls in white chocolate.

If desired, garnish with some white chocolate that has been tinted yellow. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Lemon Oreo Truffles are an awesome 3 ingredient treat!

Ingredients 

  • 1 package Lemon Oreos (see note below)
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 3 cups white chocolate melting chips

Instructions 

  • Pulse Oreos, filling and cookie portions, in a food processor until finely ground. Combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl, and beat until smooth.
  • Roll mixture into balls using a generous tablespoon per ball. Place the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  • Place white chocolate in a deep bowl. Microwave for 10 seconds at a time until smooth, stirring after each time. Dip the partially frozen balls into white chocolate and place on parchment paper to harden.
  • If desired, tint some white chocolate yellow with food coloring and drizzle over the chocolate-covered truffles. Store in the refrigerator.

Notes

I am not sure what I am going to do if they ever stop making lemon Oreos. I’m thinking that lemon extract with golden Oreos may result in the same flavors for this recipe. If you want to try this, you’ll want to adjust the extract to taste. And don’t forget to let me know how it turns out!
