Description
Delightful Oreo Truffle-Stuffed Strawberries with cream cheese and chocolate—an indulgent dessert everyone will love.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound large fresh strawberries, tops cut off (with stem cavity intact)
- 24 Double Stuf Oreo cookies
- 4 ounces (½ cup) cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces (one 12‑ounce package) chocolate candy melts (or high quality melting chocolate)
- Chocolate sprinkles (optional, for decorating)
Instructions
- Prepare the strawberries.
Gently wash and dry the strawberries. Make sure they’re very dry (moisture will interfere with chocolate). Cut off the tops (leaves and some stem) and hollow out a small cavity inside each strawberry using a melon baller, small spoon, or strawberry huller—careful not to pierce through the walls. - Make the Oreo truffle filling.
Place the 24 Double Stuf Oreo cookies (including filling) into a food processor and pulse until very fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a bowl and mix in the softened cream cheese until smooth and uniform. The mixture should be moldable but not runny. - Stuff each strawberry.
Using a small spoon or piping bag, fill each hollowed strawberry with the Oreo/cream cheese mixture, packing gently but stopping just shy of overflowing (leave some room for chocolate coating). - Melt the chocolate.
In a microwave‑safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 20‑ to 30‑second intervals, stirring in between, until fully smooth. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler (bowl over simmering water) stirring until smooth. - Dip the strawberries.
One by one, hold each stuffed strawberry by the base (or use a fork), and dip into the melted chocolate to coat fully. Let any excess drip off, then place onto a parchment- or silicone-lined tray. - Decorate (optional).
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle chocolate sprinkles over each dipped strawberry. You can also drizzle contrasting chocolate (white or dark) over the top for a decorative look. - Chill to set.
Refrigerate the strawberries for at least 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate shell is firm and the filling is cool. - Serve and enjoy.
Serve these chilled or at cool room temperature. Eat within a day or two for best texture.
Notes
Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid water seizing the chocolate.
Use room‑temperature cream cheese to facilitate smooth mixing with Oreo crumbs.
If the truffle filling seems too stiff, add a little bit of cream cheese (a teaspoon at a time); if too soft, add just a few crushed Oreo crumbs.
Work relatively quickly once the chocolate is melted, as it can begin to thicken or seize if left too long.
Use parchment or silicone mats under dipped strawberries to prevent sticking.
