1 cup finely ground Oreo® Cookies 12 T melted butter 6 oz. white chocolate,
broken into small pieces 5 egg yolks 1 1/4 cup confectioner’s sugar 1 tsp.
vanilla extract
Makes about 40 truffles
Note: Pregnant or nursing women, young children or any with an immune
deficiency should not eat foods made with raw eggs.
Chop cookies in a blender or food processor until finely chopped. Slowly
drizzle in 6 tablespoons of melted butter and process till well mixed. Set
aside.
Heat remaining 6 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan until very hot and
bubbly (be careful not to let it burn). Remove from heat and add the white
chocolate. Stir constantly until smooth and melted. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until foamy. Beat in the sugar gradually, add
vanilla and continue to beat until thick (see photo). With mixer on slow to
medium speed, gradually beat in the cookie mixture, then gradually beat in
the melted chocolate mixture. Beat until smooth and well mixed. Cover with
plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least thirty minutes or until firm.
Place your choice of coating in a bowl. If you’re going to have more than
one, use separate bowls. Some possible coating choices are: toasted coconut,
chopped nuts, unsweetened cocoa, powdered chocolate, crushed Oreo® Cookies.
Scoop out a teaspoon full of the truffle mixture and, using your fingers,
roll it into a ball. Work quickly as the heat of your hand will quickly start
melting the chocolate. Drop ball in the coating bowl. Repeat the process
until there are 4 or 5 balls in the coating bowl. Gently roll the truffles in
the coating mixture and a sheet of waxed paper.
Wrap truffles in an air tight container and store in the refrigerator for up
to ten days or in the freezer for up to a month.
