Serves: 30
What you'll need
  • 3-4 candy canes
  • 36 oreo/chocolate cream cookies
  • 200g cream cheese
  • 200g milk or dark cooking chocolate
Instructions
  1. Unwrap candy canes and break in half, place in thermomix bowl and process turbo for 1 to 2 times or speed 9 for 2 seconds. Empty out into a clean dry bowl.
  2. Place cookies into thermomix bowl or food processor and process until fine. I did mine on speed 8 for 3 seconds.
  3. Add in cream cheese and process speed 5 for 20 seconds or until combined in your food processor.
  4. Tip out the cookie mixture into a bowl. Now roll into small walnut sized balls and pop in the fridge.You should get about 30 balls from the mixture, more if you make them smaller, less if you make them bigger.
  5. Melt chocolate. I like to do mine in the microwave for 2½ minutes on medium. Break up chocolate, place in heatproof bowl, microwave in 1 minute increments on medium and stir before the next minute.
  6. Now lay out baking paper into a baking tray or lamington tray.
  7. Using a fork dip each ball into chocolate, allow the excess to drip off and lay on baking paper or a cooling rack could work for the excess chocolate to drip off onto some baking paper underneath.
  8. I found the chocolate pooled at the bottom when they were in the fridge so I recommend moving them carefully to another sheet of baking paper for the final refrigeration so they don't have a clump of chocolate underneath each truffle.
  9. When all the balls have been covered in chocolate and with clean hands sprinkle a little of the crushed candy canes over the top of the truffle.
  10. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours and serve. We had a super hot day here so the chocolate was sweating a little when they were out of the fridge so I recommend keeping them cool before gifting them.
  11. They will look super sweet in little cello bags with some festive ribbon on them.
