These patriotic cherry-stuffed Oreo truffles are the perfect addition to your Fourth of July party.

Cherry-Stuffed Oreo Truffles Recipe - These Cherry-Stuffed Oreo Truffles are an easy and delicious no-bake dessert that requires 5 ingredients.

Oreo truffles are a time tested favorite. These cherry-stuffed Oreo truffles take it to the next level with a Maraschino cherry center. Oreo truffles are commonly given as gifts at Christmas, but there is no reason we can’t eat them year-round! With a white-chocolate coating and patriotic sprinkles, these Oreo truffles are the perfect dessert for Memorial day and Fourth of July get-togethers.

This Cherry-Stuffed Oreo Cookie Balls Recipe is an easy and delicious no-bake dessert that requires 5 ingredients.

Cherry-Stuffed Oreo Truffles Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 (14.3 oz) package regular Oreos (or use a gluten-free chocolate sandwich cookie)
  • 8 oz brick of cream cheese
  • 24 maraschino cherries
  • 1 1/2 cups white candy melts
  • 1 Tablespoon solid shortening
  • star sprinkles or jimmies

You can decorate the Oreo truffles for any holiday, but if you want to make Patriotic Cherry-Stuffed Oreo Truffles, you can use Red, White, and Blue Jimmies, Red, White, and Blue Pareils, and Red, White, and Blue Mini Stars.

Cherry-Stuffed Oreo Truffle Ingredients

Directions:
1.  Line a cookie sheet with wax paper and set aside.

2.  Place Oreos in a food processor or blender and pulse until finely crushed.

3.  Transfer the finely crushed Oreo crumbs to a large mixing bowl.

4.   Add the softened cream cheese and mix well until completely blended (about 2-3 minutes).

5.  Roll the Oreo mixture into 1 inch balls and place on the cookie sheet.

6.   Next, flatten each ball like a pancake. I used the bottom of a drinking glass.

7.   Place a maraschino cherry in the middle of each flattened Oreo ball.

8.   Completely cover each cherry by bringing up the sides of the Oreo mixture and rolling it into a ball again with your hands. Place back on cookie sheet.

9.   Chill Oreo truffles for at least 30 minutes.

10.   In a microwave safe bowl, microwave the shortening for 45 seconds. Add the white chocolate melts and stir until completely melted. You may have to microwave for additional 12 second intervals until the chocolate melts. Stir after each interval.

11.   Using a toothpick, dip a chilled Oreo truffle into the melted white chocolate. Immediately, place it back on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with red, white and blue sprinkles or jimmies. (Because the truffles are chilled, the chocolate hardens very quickly). Repeat until all truffles are covered and decorated.

12.   Store in an airtight container up to 2 weeks.

    Could you use Chocolate Graham Crumbs in the package, and not the cookies with the icing centres?

      The icing center helps hold it together.

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
