- 1 cup finely ground Oreo Cookies
- 12 Tbsp melted butter
- 6 oz white chocolate, broken into small pieces
- 5 egg yolks
- 1 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Your choice of toppings (e.g. toasted coconut, chopped nuts, unsweetened cocoa, powdered chocolate, crushed Oreo Cookies, etc.)
- Chop cookies in a blender or food processor until finely chopped. Slowly drizzle in 6 tablespoons of melted butter and process till well mixed.
- Set aside.
- Heat remaining 6 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan until very hot and bubbly (be careful not to let it burn).
- Remove from heat and add the white chocolate. Stir constantly until smooth and melted.
- Set aside.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until foamy. Beat in the sugar gradually, add vanilla and continue to beat until thick.
- With mixer on slow to medium speed, gradually beat in the cookie mixture, then gradually beat in the melted chocolate mixture.
- Beat until smooth and well mixed.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes or until firm.
- Place your choice of coating in a bowl. If you're going to have more than one, use separate bowls.
- Scoop out a teaspoon full of the truffle mixture and, using your fingers, roll it into a ball. Work quickly as the heat of your hand will quickly start melting the chocolate.
- Drop ball in the coating bowl. Repeat the process until there are 4 or 5 balls in the coating bowl.
- Gently roll the truffles in the coating mixture and place on a sheet of waxed paper.
- Wrap truffles in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up to ten days or in the freezer for up to a month.
