How to Make Lemon Oreo Truffles (Step-by-Step)
First, crush the lemon Oreo cookies (including the cream) in a food processor for about a minute until you have decent-sized cookie crumbs. Add the cream cheese and process for another 30 seconds or until it's thoroughly mixed.
Second, using a small cookie scoop (tablespoon-sized), scoop the Oreo and cream cheese mixture and shape it into ¾-inch balls. Continue forming these balls until all the Oreo mixture is used.
Continue making balls until you've used all the mixture, then place them into the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes (this makes the chocolate set faster when we dip the truffles).
Let's make the white and dark chocolate dip while the lemon Oreo balls are cooling.
To do this, stir both kinds of chocolate disks in a glass bowl over a pot of boiling water until they're thoroughly melted. You can also microwave them in a bowl until the candy melts.
Next, using a fork, dip the lemon Oreo balls into melted chocolate one at a time, ensuring they have a nice coat of chocolate. Place the dipped truffles onto a cookie sheet or baking sheet lined with parchment paper and decorate them any way you like.
After the chocolate on the truffles is set completely, trim any excess chocolate off the dripping edges using a knife and place the lemon Oreo truffle into a small cupcake liner.
