Indulgent No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Truffles Recipe

Introduction

These Indulgent No-Bake Strawberry Shortcake Cheesecake Truffles are a delightful blend of creamy cheesecake and crunchy Golden Oreos, coated in luscious pink chocolate. Perfect for a party treat or a special dessert, they combine fresh strawberry flavor with sweet, rich textures in every bite.

Ingredients

• 3 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
• 3 tbsp powdered sugar
• 1.5 tbsp strawberry preserves
• 0.125 tsp vanilla extract (pure vanilla extract recommended)
• Pinch of salt
• 36 Golden Oreo cookies (Nabisco recommended)
• 8 oz cream cheese (at room temperature)
• 14 oz pink melting chocolates (approximately 1¼ cups)
• 0.5 cup white chocolate
• 3 Golden Oreos (for crumbles)
• 0.25 cup freeze-dried strawberries

Instructions

1. Step 1: In a mixing bowl, blend together 3 oz cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth. Freeze this mixture for about 40 to 45 minutes to firm up.
2. Step 2: Crush 36 Golden Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Combine the crumbs with the softened 8 oz cream cheese and mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
3. Step 3: Take tablespoon-sized portions of the Oreo dough and flatten each into a circle. Place a dollop of the chilled cheesecake filling in the center, then wrap the dough around it, rolling gently into balls. Freeze the truffles for another 15 to 20 minutes to set.
4. Step 4: Pulse 3 Golden Oreos and freeze-dried strawberries together until small chunks remain, creating a crunchy topping for the truffles.
5. Step 5: Melt the pink melting chocolates in a microwave-safe bowl using short bursts, stirring in between to avoid burning. Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate and place them on a parchment-lined tray.
6. Step 6: Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the coated truffles. Sprinkle the Oreo and strawberry crumble topping over the drizzle. Let the truffles set at room temperature before serving.

Tips & Variations

• For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened to avoid lumps in your mixture.
• You can substitute freeze-dried strawberries with finely chopped fresh strawberries for a fresher taste, though the topping might be less crunchy.
• Use high-quality melting chocolates for a smoother coating and better flavor.
• To make smaller or larger truffles, adjust the dough portions accordingly but keep the chilling time consistent.

Storage

Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Allow them to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving for the best texture and flavor. These truffles can also be frozen for up to one month; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before serving.

FAQs

Can I make these truffles ahead of time?

Yes, these truffles hold up well when made a day or two in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For longer storage, freeze them and thaw before serving.

What if I don’t have pink melting chocolate?

You can use white melting chocolate and add a few drops of red or pink food coloring to create your desired shade. Alternatively, coat the truffles in plain white chocolate and decorate with colored sprinkles or freeze-dried strawberry dust.

Instructions

1. Preparation: Gather all ingredients at room temperature to ensure smooth blending and melting processes.
2. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, blend together 3 oz cream cheese, powdered sugar, strawberry preserves, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth and creamy. Place the mixture in the freezer for about 40-45 minutes to firm up.
3. Prepare Oreo Crust Dough: Crush 36 Golden Oreo cookies finely in a food processor until you have fine crumbs. Combine these crumbs with 8 oz softened cream cheese and mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency is achieved.
4. Form Truffles: Take tablespoon-sized portions of the Oreo dough, flatten each portion into a small circle, place a chilled dollop of the cheesecake filling in the center, then carefully wrap the dough around the filling to enclose it fully. Roll them gently into smooth balls and freeze for an additional 15-20 minutes to set.
5. Make Topping Crumble: Pulse 3 Golden Oreos together with 0.25 cup freeze-dried strawberries in the food processor until small chunky crumbles form for a crunchy fruity topping.
6. Melt Pink Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the pink melting chocolates in short bursts of 20-30 seconds, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted.
7. Coat Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted pink chocolate, ensuring full coverage, and place onto a parchment-lined tray to set.
8. Decorate and Set: Melt the white chocolate similarly, then drizzle it over the coated truffles. Immediately sprinkle the strawberry-Oreo crumble topping. Let the truffles set at room temperature until the chocolate hardens before serving.
