Description
The hazelnut flavor and chocolate coating will satisfy your chocolate craving with these rich and delicious Nutella truffles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 25 Oreo Thins cookies, half of a 13.1-ounce package
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- ⅔ cup Nutella
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 10 ounces milk chocolate melting wafers, I used Ghirardelli brand
- Chocolate sprinkles, for garnish
Instructions
- Line a small rimmed baking tray with parchment paper. Set aside.
- In the bowl of a food processor, add the Oreo Thins cookies and pulse until you have very fine cookie crumbs. This will take 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the cream cheese, Nutella, and salt to the cookie crumbs. Pulse an additional 1 to 2 minutes or until a ball forms in the bowl of your food processor. All the ingredients should be completely combined and smooth.
- Carefully remove the bowl and blade from your food processor and place the Nutella truffle mixture into the refrigerator to chill for 30 to 45 minutes. It should be firm enough to hold the shape of a ball.
- Using a small 1½ inches or 1 tablespoon-sized cookie scoop, you will scoop out a leveled amount and roll it in the palm of your hand to form a ball. Place the ball of Nutella truffle onto the prepared baking tray. Repeat until all the truffles have been made.
- Place the tray of Nutella truffles into the refrigerator to chill for an additional 1 to 1½ hours or until they are firm and hold their shape.
- Once your Nutella truffles have chilled, you can make the chocolate coating by melting the milk chocolate wafers, in a small bowl, according to your package directions.
- Using a large fork, you will place 1 truffle onto the prongs of the fork and gently dip the truffle into the melting chocolate. Evenly coat the truffle with the chocolate, then using the fork, lift it out of the chocolate, allowing any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Place the chocolate-coated truffle back onto the parchment-lined baking tray and sprinkle a few of the chocolate sprinkles onto the top as a garnish. Repeat until all the truffles are coated and garnished. You can place your tray of milk chocolate-coated Nutella truffles back into the refrigerator to harden the outer coating for an additional 5 to 10 minutes, or they can sit at room temperature until they are hard.
Notes
- Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature for smooth blending.
- Chill the truffles thoroughly before dipping in chocolate to prevent them from falling apart.
- Use high-quality chocolate wafers for the best coating.
