[CnD] OREO TRUFFLES

[Sugar Lopez via Cookinginthedark]

OREO TRUFFLES

1 pkg Oreos (1 lb 2oz)

1 8 oz block Cream Cheese

Meltable white chocolate wafers (from a Michael's or A.C. Moore craft-type 
store)

 

Blend Oreos to dust in blender, 7-8 at a time works best.

Cut cream cheese into 8 blocks.

 

Mix Oreo dust and cream cheese (KitchenAid mixer or similar works best) until a 
firm pasty dough-like consistency. 

 

Roll into dime-sized balls (hands will get messy!) and place on wax paper on 
cookie trays. The mixture should make around 120-140 balls, depending on size.

 

Chill balls in fridge for 2-3 hours.

 

I melt the white chocolate wafers in microwave per directions on bag in a small 
coffee cup. I stab a ball with a toothpick and dip into melted white chocolate 
to coat and place back on wax paper. Once finished coating chill in fridge 
again and keep chilled until serving. I remove all the toothpicks before 
serving.

 

NOTE - There are probably more efficient ways to coat the balls with the white 
chocolate, that's just my method above. I have to add wafers and melt 
periodically throughout the coating process. If the balls start to come off the 
toothpicks while dipping, chill them again. I usually have 3 cookie trays going 
so 2 can stay chilled while I'm dipping the 1. I use red and green vanilla 
flavored chocolate for the holidays.

THE BEST COFFEE PUNCH

A cold, ice-cream based coffee punch.

yield: 20 servings

prep time: 15 minutes

additional time: 30 minutes

total time: 45 minutes

  


1 gallon whole milk

1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream

1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream

1/4 cup powdered instant coffee

2 cups white sugar

1 cup water

  


In a small saucepan, mix the coffee powder, sugar, and water and heat until the 
sugar has melted and all the ingredients are dissolved and well mixed. Don’t 
boil.

Refrigerate the mixture in an airtight container until you’re ready to use it, 
at least 30 minutes. The liquid will get kind of syrupy.

When ready to serve, pour the syrup into a large punch bowl.

Add the entire gallon of milk and stir.

Add all the ice cream, by scoops, into the punch. Stir gently to mix. The ice 
cream doesn’t have to melt all the way prior to the party … it serves as the 
ice, keeping the punch cold.
