Ingredients

For the Truffles

• About 10 Golden Oreo cookies (5 oz package)
• ⅓ cup strawberry cream cheese, softened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

If You Can’t Find Strawberry Cream Cheese

Use:

• ⅓ cup plain cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon dehydrated strawberries, blended into a fine powder

If you want to make it even easier for American readers, I’d actually write:

No strawberry cream cheese? No problem! Use ⅓ cup plain cream cheese and 1 tablespoon powdered dehydrated strawberries instead. We simply blend dehydrated strawberries in a blender or food processor until they become a fine powder. This gives the truffles an even more intense strawberry flavor.

For Coating

• White chocolate candy melts or white chocolate chips
• Crushed graham crackers

Recipe

Crush the Cookies

Add the vanilla sandwich cookies to a food processor or blender and pulse until fine crumbs form.

No food processor? Place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Make the Filling

Add the cookie crumbs, strawberry cream cheese, and vanilla extract to a mixing bowl.

Mix until a smooth dough forms.

If using plain cream cheese, add the powdered dehydrated strawberries at this stage and mix thoroughly.

The mixture should hold together when squeezed. If it feels too soft, refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.

Roll the Truffles

Roll the mixture into balls approximately 1 tablespoon in size.

Place them on a parchment-lined tray.

For easier dipping later, insert a toothpick into each truffle before chilling.

Chill

Refrigerate the truffles for 20–30 minutes until firm.

Coat in White Chocolate

Melt the white chocolate according to package directions.

Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate and allow any excess to drip off.

Add the Shortcake Coating

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle or roll the truffles in crushed graham crackers.

This gives them that classic strawberry shortcake flavor and texture.

Set and Serve

Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined tray.

Allow them to refrigerate for 10–15 minutes.

Serve chilled.

FAQ

What is a strawberry shortcake truffle?

A strawberry shortcake truffle is a no-bake dessert made from crushed cookies, cream cheese, strawberry flavoring, and a sweet coating. They taste similar to strawberry shortcake and strawberry cheesecake combined.

Can I make strawberry shortcake truffles ahead of time?

Yes. These truffles can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can I freeze strawberry shortcake truffles?

Absolutely. Freeze them in a sealed container for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before serving.

What if I can’t find strawberry cream cheese?
