How do you make St. Patrick’s Day Rainbow Truffles?
This recipe is so easy to make, only requires a few ingredients and it’s no-bake! You will need a food processor and a microwave to make this dessert. Simply put the golden Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse them until they are crumbs (don’t remove the cream). Then, in a separate bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mix until smooth. Next, divide the mixture into 5 equal parts and add a different colour of food colouring to each. Blend until the colour is solid. Keep reading for the final touches!
Firstly place thirty six whole Oreo cookies into a food processor (the whole cookie). Pulse the cookies until they become fine crumbs.
Secondly, place the crumbs into a medium mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, mix with a hand mixer until well blended. Next, divide the mixture into equal parts and add in two-three drops of food colouring to each part. Blend with a spatula.
On a piece of parchment paper, roll each ball into a log and stack them on top of one another. Roll the rainbow log in the parchment paper and chill in the refrigerator for 5 min.
Remove from the fridge and scoop the mixture into balls, a tablespoon works great for this! Roll the mixture into a ball shape and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Continue until all of the mixture is used.
Place the rolled balls into the freezer for 15min.
Rainbow Truffles!
While the rainbow balls are chilling, melt the white and dark chocolate (in separate bowls) in the microwave. Melting times may vary, be sure to follow the melting instructions on the chocolate you have.
Once the Oreo balls have chilled, remove them from the freezer. Using a fork, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Top with the sprinkles immediately as the chocolate will dry quickly! Set them aside to set completely.
Viola! A FUN and EASY St. Patrick’s Day Dessert Idea!
