Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 Lofthouse cookies
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese
- 8 ounces (226 grams) dipping chocolate
Binding/Coating Ingredients:
- 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil
Decoration:
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Pulverize cookies in a mixer until they transform into fine, uniform crumbs. Incorporate cream cheese and blend until the mixture achieves a smooth, cohesive texture.
- Utilize a scoop to portion consistent dough amounts. Compress and roll each portion into compact spheres. Arrange truffles on a parchment-lined sheet pan, then refrigerate for 3 minutes to firm up.
- Create chocolate coating by melting chocolate with coconut oil using a double boiler or microwave method. Heat in short 30-second intervals, stirring between each. Adjust oil quantity to achieve ideal coating consistency.
- Carefully submerge each chilled truffle into melted chocolate using a fork, allowing excess to drip off. Immediately garnish with decorative sprinkles before chocolate sets. Transfer coated truffles back to the sheet pan.
- Allow truffles to rest at room temperature for approximately 10-15 minutes, permitting chocolate to completely solidify and develop a glossy finish. Serve chilled or at ambient temperature.
Notes
- Crumb Consistency Matters Pulse cookies in a food processor for ultra-fine crumbs to ensure smooth, cohesive truffle texture without lumps.
- Chilling Technique Refrigerate truffle balls briefly before dipping to help chocolate coating adhere cleanly and prevent cracking.
- Chocolate Coating Pro Tip Use room temperature truffles and tempered chocolate for a glossy, professional-looking finish that won’t develop white streaks.
- Dietary Adaptations Swap regular cookies for gluten-free varieties and use dairy-free cream cheese and chocolate to make these truffles allergy-friendly and inclusive.
