Here's another super cute Valentine treat I made.
I'm not ever sure what to call them, but it's an oreo cake truffle designed to look like an ice cream cone. The recipe for the cake truffle is actually very similar to the first recipe ZebraNaomy shared. You can pretty much make any cake flavor, just look up cake pop recipes but this one is a no-bake recipe. I use Trader Joe's Joe-Joes cookies but you can use oreo cookies. It's actually very simple to put together and everyone goes crazy for them.
Ingredients:
1 package of Oreos (or Trader Joe's Joe-Joes)
2/3 package of cream cheese
candy melts (melting chocolate) (pink and chocolate if you want it to look like mine)
sprinkles and/or other candies for decoration
mini ice cream cones
Directions for the cake truffle:
Use a food processor to crumble cookies. If you don?t have a food processor you can put the cookies in a large plastic bag and use a hard object to crush the cookies as finely as possible. In a bowl, combine Oreo crumbles and cream cheese. Form dough into one large ball and chill in refrigerator for about 30 minutes or the freezer for 10 minutes. Now, roll dough into 1.5 inch balls. Recipe will yield approximately 25 cake truffles.
I usually fill the bottom portion of the cone with some candies. Melt the candy melts in a double boiler, use some shortening to thin it out if you need to. Dip the chilled cake truffles into the candy melt and coat it completely, then use a spoon to place it on top of the cone, spoon a small amount of the chocolate candy melt and drizzle a little on top then just add sprinkles or candy to decorate.
