38 oreos
1 8 ounce package of cream cheese, room temperature

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. In a food processor, add oreos and pulse until it turns into fine crumbs.
Add the cream cheese, espresso powder and vanilla extract. Pulse until combined. The mixture will look like a sticky glob of dough.
Scoop a heaping 1 tablespoon of mixture and form them into 1 inch balls. The mixture will feel sticky and soft. These do not need to be formed smoothly yet. Place them on your lined baking sheet and line them up so the balls are not touching each other. Depending on the size of your oreo truffle balls, you should have 30 to 36 balls. Place the baking sheet in your fridge and let the cream cheese start to chill again, about 30 minutes to 1 hour.
When the oreo mixture is almost done chilling, melt the chocolate callets in a double boiler over very low heat. Stir until just melted and smooth. Remove the chocolate from the heat and let that cool slightly.
Remove the chilled oreo balls from the fridge. Roll each ball between the palms of your hand to make a smooth round ball. Put half of the balls back into the fridge to keep them chilled. The balls are easier to handle when they are cold.
Line another baking sheet with parchment paper. With a small cocktail fork or a dipper spoon, dip each ball into the melted chocolate. Gently tap to remove any excess chocolate and let that drip off the oreo balls for a few seconds. Be patient and let as much chocolate drip off as possible. This will prevent chocolate from pooling around the balls after you set them down. If using a fork, use another fork to help you release the ball on to the lined sheet pan. There will be a “crater” where the fork was inserted in the ball. Using a small spoon, touch the back of the spoon in the melted chocolate, just enough to get coat the back of the spoon slightly. Then gently tap the back of the spoon on the crater of the ball to fill in the crater with chocolate and smooth out the surface of the ball. Repeat for the other balls. Remove the remaining half of the oreo balls chilling the the fridge and repeat.
Place the baking sheet of dipped oreo balls back into the fridge to let the chocolate set, about 30 minutes.
When the dipped oreo balls are almost done chilling, set up another double boiler and melt the white chocolate. If using a squeeze bottle for drizzling, transfer the melted chocolate into the squeeze bottle. Otherwise, you can use a small spoon to make your drizzle. Drizzle away! You can be as neat or free-handed as you like. The drizzle will help cover any parts of the dipped oreo balls that are not smooth and will provide a gorgeous color contrast to the dark chocolate. Refrigerate about 30 minutes to let that set.
