Description

Delight in these festive Irish Cream Oreos, a no-bake treat blending crushed Oreo cookies with creamy cream cheese and a splash of Irish cream liqueur. Coated in vibrant green candy melts and decorated with colorful sprinkles, these truffles offer a rich, indulgent bite perfect for St. Patrick’s Day or any celebration.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Base

  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)

Filling

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1–2 tsp Irish cream liqueur (like Baileys) – optional for adults, or substitute with 1 tsp vanilla extract for a non-alcoholic version

Coating & Decoration

  • 12 oz green candy melts (or white chocolate with green food coloring)
  • Assorted green, white, and orange sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Make the Oreo Truffle Mixture: Crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or a ziplock bag and rolling pin. Combine the crumbs with softened cream cheese and Irish cream liqueur or vanilla extract until a sticky dough forms. Chill the mixture for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  2. Shape the Truffles: Scoop tablespoons of the chilled mixture and roll each into a small ball. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill again in the fridge or freezer for 15-20 minutes to ensure the balls hold their shape during coating.
  3. Coat the Truffles: Melt the green candy melts in the microwave according to package instructions, stirring until smooth. If using white chocolate, add a few drops of green food coloring. Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted coating, fully covering it, then place back on the parchment paper, tapping off excess coating.
  4. Add the Sprinkles: While the coating is still wet, decorate each truffle with green, white, and orange sprinkles for a festive appearance. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or refrigerate until the coating hardens completely.

Notes

  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute Irish cream liqueur with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  • Chilling the truffle mixture twice helps maintain shape and makes coating easier.
  • Use a fork or dipping tool to avoid melting the coating with your hands.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Decorate with festive sprinkles to enhance presentation and add texture.
