How should these Oreo truffles be stored?
Whatever your personal preferences may be when it comes to storing chocolate, the experts tend to agree that chocolate is at its best when kept at room temperature. While some people enjoy the satisfying cold snap and a long slow mouth melt of refrigerated chocolate, keeping it at room temperature will maximize the tastes and aromas of each individual bar, as well as help to maintain the smooth, creamy texture of this much loved sweet treat.
The difficulty lies in chocolates that contain ingredients which require refrigeration, and truffles often fall into this category due to the regular inclusion of fresh cream. However, this recipe uses sweetened condensed milk in place of fresh dairy products, so these white chocolate Oreo truffles in particular can be covered and safely stored at room temperature for two to three days. To keep them at their best, they should be stored away from direct sunlight in an airtight container, preferably in a cool cupboard. If you wish to store them for longer, then refrigeration is the way to go. Make sure they are similarly stored in an airtight container to keep them fresh and to stop them from absorbing any odors from the fridge. To enjoy them at their best, we recommend allowing the Oreo truffles to come to room temperature before consuming them, to make sure the filling is soft and the chocolate melts in your mouth.
How can this white chocolate Oreo truffle recipe be adapted?
These white chocolate Oreo truffles are as versatile as they are simple, and they make a great base recipe that you can adapt according to your personal preferences and the occasion. A really simple way to switch things up is by using a different flavor of Oreo, and with so many to choose from you can easily create something new and delicious. We recommend trying mint- or peanut butter-flavored Oreos as great options to pair with the white chocolate coating. Another way to switch up this Oreo truffle recipe is to add flavor extracts to the crumb filling. Vanilla, hazelnut, or orange extract all make delicious additions and will give your Oreo truffles something a little different. For a decidedly adult adaption, you could also mix in a dash of Baileys or Kahlua before rolling and dipping the truffles; just remember to keep these on the top shelf!
Switching up the chocolate you use for dipping these truffles is another easy adaption. Depending on your preferences, you can dip the cookie balls in milk or dark chocolate, and use one of the other varieties as your drizzle to add a pop of contrast. If you are creating these white chocolate Oreo truffles for a particular occasion, you can also have fun using food dye to color the white chocolate before you coat the cookie balls.
