No Bake Peppermint Oreo Truffles

These easy, no-bake peppermint Oreo truffles are a festive holiday treat made with Oreo cookies, cream cheese, peppermint extract, and chocolate. They are perfect for cookie trays and require no baking.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 5 minutes (includes freezing)
  • Yield: 18 truffles 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 24 regular Oreo cookies (or gluten-free Oreos for a gluten-free version)
  • 1/2 cup plain full-fat brick cream cheese, softened (do not use spreadable tub cream cheese)
  • 3/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips
  • 4 ounces white chocolate chips
  • 2 teaspoons coconut oil, divided
  • 1 candy cane, crushed into tiny pieces

Instructions

  1. Lay a piece of parchment paper on a baking sheet and set aside. Add Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs.
  2. Add cream cheese and peppermint extract to the food processor and pulse until the mixture is soft and dough-like.
  3. Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the mixture and roll into balls on the parchment-lined baking sheet. Place in the freezer for 45 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring until smooth. Repeat with white chocolate chips and the remaining coconut oil.
  5. Remove the Oreo balls from the freezer. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate of your choice, then sprinkle with crushed candy cane. Place back on the baking sheet and allow the chocolate to set.
  6. Store truffles in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free Oreos. Do not use spreadable cream cheese, as it will make the mixture too soft. Truffles can be frozen for up to 6 months.
