Ingredients:
- 36 Chocolate Sandwich Cookies (Oreo style), approx 14.3 oz / 405g
- 8 oz (226g) full-fat brick cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 16 oz (450g) white chocolate melting wafers or high-quality bars
- 2 tsp (10ml) refined coconut oil or shortening
- 48 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Black decorating gel for optional mouth expressions
Instructions:
- Pulse the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor until they reach a uniform, fine sandy consistency with no large chunks.
- Using an electric hand mixer, beat the softened cream cheese until aerated and smooth. Gradually fold in the cookie crumbs until a dark, cohesive dough forms.
- Scoop tablespoon-sized portions (approx 1 inch) and roll into balls. Gently pinch the top and roll slightly to create a tapered teardrop shape to mimic a ghostly figure.
- Place the shaped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flash-freeze for 20 minutes to stabilize the fats.
- Melt the white chocolate wafers with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals until smooth. Use a dipping tool to submerge each chilled truffle, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Immediately place two mini chocolate chips near the tapered top for eyes and use decorating gel to add mouth expressions before the coating sets.
