Can You Freeze Oreo Truffles?
Decorating By NEWTODECORATING Updated 16 Dec 2006 , 2:54pm by missyv110
I freeze my cake balls all the time and dip just before I need them. Can I do this with Oreo truffles? I think the cream cheese would be fine in the freezer but thought I should check.
I popped some in the freezer already dipped and they seemed fine even then! A little cracking occurered on the chocolate coating but not on very many.
Okay, can you tell me HOW you actually GET them to the freezer BEFORE they are consumed? LOL
Sweetsbycheryl: This is the recipe I use. Got it in my last Kraft Food Issue.
1 pkg Oreos- crush in food processor
1 8 oz. cream cheese, softened
Mix together thoroughly. Roll into balls. Refrigerate or freeze until holds shape. Dip.
Phyllis52: How much creamer do you use? That sounds like a GREAT alternative.

My family really loves the oreo truffles. We use the 17oz. pkg. If you're using DoubleStuff oreos, you'll need to use less cream cheese, or add about 6T. of oreo crumbs (in the grocery aisle that has the cracker crumbs for pie crust). The Mint Oreos made into truffles are great! Also, I've used vanilla sandwich cookies in place of oreos, and added the dessert cheesball mixes from Wind & Willow. (The Key Lime Piemix was awesome!).
Thanks everyone! I am in a bit over my head this Christmas season with orders and ANYTHING I can do in advance is helpful. I have 400 cakeballs in the freezer waiting to be dipped and I thought I would get the oreo truffles ready to dip too!
Phyllis52, do you add the creamer into the oreos and cream cheese?? I've never made these and interested in trying them! They sound yummy!
Man, just when I think I'm done making cake balls for a while I go and find another idea I can't wait to try out.
Hi Beth,
I use just enough creamer so they can be rolled into a ball. After you freeze them they get really hard, but then after defrosting they are just the right consistency.

Thanks! I'm getting ready to do approx 275 lbs. of candy this week with my cousin. It's a 17 yr old tradition and EVERY year we add a new treat. It sounds like it's going to be Oreo Truffles w/ Mocha Mint Creamer!!
Merry Christmas and thanks again for sharing!

need help w/this...please! will make try recipe tonight for a christmas cookie exchange...however i need the recipe to attach...i'd like the recipe w/creamer.. be specific as to the creamer (liquid)...can i use the round chocolate disk to melt to roll the balls ..thanks
Ohhhh sorry Phyliss!! I read that you use creamer instead of the cream cheese! Do you not have to refrigerate creamer?? I'm not a coffee person, so I know nothing about creamer!
I wasn't sure about the creamer either until I asked the question here at CC and I found out that most of the creamers don't need to be refrigerated. I use the French Vanilla in almost everything. I tried the mint and didn't get much flavor, so now I use mint extract. But I put the creamer in before I add any other liquid to make sure it's not too gooey.
I can't say exactly how much I put it - I don't measure. I just put in a little at a time until it binds and I could make balls of it. I'm making some tonight so I'll be back on line to let you know how much -this time I'll measure!
I also use candy melts to dip in. I bought that Wilton Melting Pot - it's great - got it with a 40% coupon.
I can't believe my life is now cake balls - just because I had a few crumbs left from a cake!
How much would you sell a box of them for and how many are in a box?
