Strawberry Cheesecake Truffles

Don't let the name fool you, this is incredibly easy to make!

What you'll need:
  • 1 bag of strawberry milkshake oreos
  • 8oz block of cream cheese
  • 1 bag each of milk or dark (whichever you prefer) and white chocolate morsels

Directions:  Set aside 4 or 5 oreos for later use. Crush the remaining oreos in a food processor until well mixed. Add the cream cheese and mix until blended, but still a tad lumpy. In two double broilers melt the two bags of chocolate separately. Roll the oreo-cream cheese into balls (about an inch in diameter) and place on parchment paper. One by one roll the balls into the melted chocolate in whatever designs you choose. Crumble remaining oreos on top of freshly dipped truffles as a topping. Allow the truffles to cool at room temperature until the chocolate coating has hardened (about an hour). Eat immediately, refrigerate, or freeze.

*note: the chocolate will melt very easily so make sure to keep cool before eating.

Pairing: because of their rich taste and delicate texture, they go very well with a nice cup of light black tea. Black rose, earl grey, and red chai's are perfect. If you're alcoholically inclined, a nice pinot noir would also serve very nicely for an after dinner treat.

Strawberry Cheesecake Truffles: Messy...but disgustingly delicious!
