Ingredients

  • 8 (91g) Oreo cookies
  • 1 ounce (57g) cream cheese
  • 8-10 large strawberries washed and dried very well
  • 4 ounces (113g) semi-sweet baking chocolate or Ghiradelli Melts
  • 2 additional Oreos or Sprinkles optional

Instructions

  • Place 8 Oreos in a food processor with cream cheese. Process until a thick paste forms (scraping down the sides of the food processor as needed). Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and scoop one tablespoon balls of  truffle onto the cookie sheet (about 8). Chill until strawberries are ready.
  • Slice the stem off the strawberry and scoop out the center with a small melon baller. Wipe the edge of the berry as dry as possible.
  • Place chocolate in a small microwave safe bowl. I like to use paper Dixie bowls for easy clean up. Heat on high power in 30 second increments, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Place remaining 2 Oreos into a plastic bag and crush using a rolling pin. (Those are for decoration, feel free to use sprinkles instead.) I recommend dividing the chocolate into two bowls in case it's in a finicky mood and seizes. If that happens, drizzle the chocolate over the top of the berry instead of dipping it.
  • To assemble the berries: place an Oreo truffle in each strawberry cavity. Dip the tops in the chocolate, then sprinkle with crushed Oreos or Sprinkles. Sometimes the chocolate can have trouble with the wet berries, so make sure to dry them as much as possible before dipping.
  • Place the dipped berries back on the cookie sheet and chill until set. Store in the refrigerator. Best eaten the same day they are made.

Notes

  • Make sure to pat them dry, especially the cut part that you'll be dipping in the chocolate.
  • I like to melt my chocolate in a disposable Dixie bowl - you know those kind they sell by the paper plates? They microwave well and you can just throw them away after.
  • I used semi-sweet baking chocolate for my dipping, but you can also use chocolate chips or almond bark or Candiquik.
  • For some reason, my chocolate did not seize, which I consider a true miracle. Often when dipping things like berries, too much water gets into the chocolate, which makes it get all clumpy and ruins it. I suggest splitting your chocolate into two bowls before you start to dip, just in case. If the chocolate starts to seize, use the rest but use a spoon to drizzle it over the top instead of dipping the berry upside down into it.
  • I sprinkled crushed Oreos on the top but you can use sprinkles too!
