I know it's a little late in the game, after all, Valentine's Day is today. But, if you are looking for a quick and easy, but really really and I mean REALLY good treat for your loved one, these are it.
Jasmine (my daughter) made them for her boyfriend, for their Valentine's Day Date, and let me tell you, they are phenomenal. She is just now starting to learn to cook and bake, or rather, she is just now starting to actually want to cook and bake. For a momma who has cooked her whole life, this is the best feeling ever.
So I'm guiding her, teaching her, especially the Portuguese recipes, after all she is half Portuguese, and watching her get comfortable in the kitchen.
I started by helping her in the beginning, but now she is much more comfortable following recipes and getting things done on her own.
I thought it would be fun to bring some of her creations here to the blog, as an incentive and motivation, perhaps, to younger girls who are just getting started in the kitchen, or feel nervous or intimidated and think they will never be able to do it.
If Jasmine can, you can!!!
Without further ado, let's jump right in to this delicious treat.
Oreo Truffles
Yield: 17
Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
12 ounces white candy melts
12 ounces milk chocolate, melted
Valentine's Day sprinkles
Instructions:
Cover large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. When done, mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until blended.
Using a cookie scooper, shape cream cheese mixture into balls and place on the baking sheet. Freeze for 20 to 30 minutes. You can also do this step the day before and let them chill in the fridge overnight.
While the oreo balls are in the freezer, melt the white candy melts and milk chocolate in two separate containers.
When the oreo balls are finished chilling, dip them in the white candy melts and place them back on the parchment paper covered baking sheet. Drizzle with the milk chocolate.
Keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
