Ingredients

  • 16 oz. cream cheese room temp
  • ½ a stick unsalted butter room temp
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tbsp. lime juice
  • ½ tbsp. vanilla extract
  • Strawberry glaze
  • ½ cup strawberries quartered
  • 1 tbsp sugar
  • ¼ cup water
  • 1 cup mini Oreo’s
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chip cookies
  • 4 Graham cracker squares
  • ¼ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips melted
  • ¼ cup white chocolate chips melted

Instructions

  • Strawberry Glaze
  • In a pot over medium low heat, add strawberries, sugar and water. Allow to cook until strawberries break down completely. Continue to stir to prevent burning.
  • Remove from heat and blend until smooth. Set aside to cool.
  • In a large bowl, add cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, lime juice and vanilla extract. Mix until fully combined.
  • Optional: split batch in two and add a couple tbsp. of the strawberry glaze and swirl with a fork.
  • Set in fridge to chill for at least 2 hours.
  • Working in batches, add the mini Oreo’s to a food processor and mix until you get a fine powder. Do the same for the chocolate chip cookies and graham crackers and set aside.
  • Once chilled, form into golf sized balls and set on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
  • Return to fridge to chill for 20 mins.
  • Remove from fridge and roll each truffle in the coating of your choice (Oreo’s, chocolate chip or graham cracker).
  • For the classic strawberry, drizzle the top of each truffle with the strawberry glaze. For the Oreo’s, drizzle each truffle with melted white chocolate. For the chocolate chip, drizzle each truffle with melted semi-sweet chocolate.
  • Refrigerate for 20 mins.
  • Once chilled remove from fridge and enjoy!
  • Keep refrigerated if not eating immediately to hold shape and texture.
