Cheesecake Truffles
As requested, here is the recipe for the truffles shown in this image:
You need:
250g package of cream cheese
2-3 packets Oreos, Delta Creams or similar style biscuit (that is chocolate biscuits with a vanilla cream filling between them). I use 2 but the original recipe actually says 3. Of course, the size of the packet might make a difference as well. I like mine to be softer and cheesier. You’ll have to experiment to decide what you like best.
Crush up biscuits and whizz together with cream cheese (I find the food processor easiest to do this with -simply chuck them all in together and whizz).
Roll mixture into balls and refrigerate.
Dip balls into chocolate of your choice. I often do them in white chocolate at Christmas time. Here they are dipped into milk chocolate. You could also do dark or a variety.
It’s soooo easy. The most fiddly bit is dipping them in the chocolate.
In the image above I have them sitting in mini patty-pans that you can usually get from stores that stock chocolate making supplies (I bought these from a craft store).
Happy gift making everybody - try to be restrained enough that the recipient you’re making them for actually GETS some! (or just make a super large batch 
).
Oh, I guess you’re wondering how many the mix makes? Well, I only made a half batch this last time and I think that made about 20 decent sized balls.

Lightening there should be a law against you posting these sort of articles! My hips are growing as I simply read the recipe!!!!! These look so divine that I am going to make them but I really do not think they will find their way to a friends kitchen!!!!
It’s my wedding anniversary this month so I guess I could lie and say I am making them for my darling
Awwwwwwwwww thanks for sharing, Jodi!!! I am really looking forward to making these!!!
Love,
Beth
I’m a lousy cook but this seems simple enough and looks delicious. I’ll have to give it a try. Thanks for the recipe!
Lauren - I put off buying a food processor for a while when my old one died. But they definitely DO save you money (if you use them in the right ways).
Sharon - did I need to provide an “addiction warning label”???
Lucky for me Farmboy LOVES them so I don’t get quite as many as I might otherwise.
Bettina - thanks.
Megan - ROFLOL. I SO know what you mean!!!!!
Beth - you’re welcome.
Lis - thanks for taking the time to comment.
I hope you enjoy!
These are great. I used cheaper brand chocolate cream biscuits, and also changed to orange cream. Yummo.
They are great for hugging the hips though. Best made to share with some friends.

Wow! Those sound unbelievable! I wonder if you could make them with low-fat cream cheese, and low-fat oreos?? Hmmm….might just be something that I’m going to have to try.
The recipe carnival is up at Expatriate’s Kitchen. Thanks for participating.
