Lemon Oreo Coconut Cookie Truffles

Truffles really do make the best dessert. I love them because this one-bite dessert is great for entertaining and it’s great to just keep on hand for the times when you want just a little bite of something sweet. This small portion sweet treat is perfect to satisfy everyone’s sugar craving.

It’s fun to make truffles for any occasion and any holiday. Out of all the different kinds of truffles I make, like fudge truffles and brownie truffles, cookie truffles are my favorite. I’m a total sucker for cookies and making them into truffles by combining them with other flavors and cream cheese makes them SO much better. Oh, and the chocolate coating, that’s just the “cherry on top.”

Ingredients

• 1 pack lemon Oreo cookies
• Zest from 1 lemon
• 1 cup coconut
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 1/2 cup coconut
• 10-12 oz white chocolate wafers

Instructions

1. (You can save a little bit of Oreo cookie crumble to use it on top of truffles, or you can use a different cookie, like vanilla wafers, for the crumble topping.)
2. Pulse the Oreo cookies in a blender or food processor until it's mostly crumbs. Add lemon zest and 1 cup coconut flakes to the blender. Pulse until all mixed and cookies are just crumbs.
3. Transfer Oreo crumb mixture into a mixing bowl and add cream cheese. Using a spatula, mix crumbs and cream cheese very well.
4. Add 1/2 cup coconut flakes and fold them in until combined.
5. Using a standard cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and roll it into balls. Place them on a large parchment paper covered cutting board.
