What ingredients do you need to make an easy Valentine’s Dessert?

• 36 Golden Oreo cookies
• 1 pkg (8 oz) cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
• Pink gel food colouring
• Dark chocolate melts
• Pearly pink sprinkles

How do you make Easy No-Bake Valentine’s Truffles

• 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, add pink gel food colouring to the dough. Blend until the colour is solid.
• Keep reading for the final touches!

This recipe is so easy to make, only requires a few ingredients and it’s no-bake!

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, add in two-three drops of food colouring to the dough. Blend with a spatula.

On a piece of parchment paper chill the pink dough in the refrigerator for 5 min. This will make the next step easier.

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.

While the balls are chilling, melt the dark chocolate 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 Valentine’s Truffles
