Oreo Cookie Truffles

Ingredients:

• 450 g of chocolate sandwich cookies, such as Oreo (about 30 pcs.)
• 170 g of cream cheese
• 2 tbsp. semi-sweet chocolate granules
• 2 tbsp. shortening or refined coconut oil
• 2 tbsp. white chocolate granules

Preparation:

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Grind the cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Transfer 2 tablespoons of the crumbs to a small bowl and set aside. Add the cream cheese to the cookies in the processor and pulse on high until the mixture comes together. Transfer to a larger bowl and pulse a few times.
3. Form the mixture into 24 balls, each about 2 heaping tablespoons. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate until completely chilled, about 45 minutes.
4. Place the semisweet chocolate in a medium heatproof bowl with 1 tablespoon of vegetable shortening. Place the white chocolate in another heatproof bowl with the remaining tablespoon of shortening. Melt the chocolate mixtures one at a time over a double boiler, stirring occasionally, until smooth.
5. Dip one truffle at a time in the dark chocolate mixture, using two forks to coat them evenly. Let any excess drip back into the bowl and transfer the truffles to a baking sheet.
6. Drizzle with white chocolate icing, then quickly sprinkle with the remaining crushed cookies. Continue until all the truffles are coated and decorated.
7. Refrigerate the truffles until they set, about 5 minutes. Serve chilled.
