The no-bake cookie truffles belong to those quick recipes, without added sugars or eggs. You just need 3 ingredients and a food processor!
I’ve talked about what without added sugars means not long ago, and so in this recipe, it’s not that there are no sugars…because they are present in the cookies and chocolate, just no other sweeteners are added.
This is a recipe where the stars are Oreo cookies blended together with ricotta, creating a creamy filling that, after a short rest in the fridge, can be shaped and dipped into chocolate.
Delicious and quick, therefore, a nice combination that always comes in handy when we want to impress our guests with simplicity, and they are always appreciated by both adults and children.
Certainly, they can also be made with other types of cookies that have cream and need to be kept in the fridge (because there’s ricotta) in a box or food container so they don’t alter their taste.
The Christmas holidays are approaching, and there will be many occasions to showcase your amateur baking skills without making great efforts; so note down the recipe for no-bake cookie truffles and prepare them at the first opportunity… you’ll make a great impression! My word.

Steps
How to make no-bake cookie truffles.
Put the cookies and ricotta into the food processor cup. Blend until a cream is formed. Place the container in the fridge for about half an hour to firm up the cream, and in the meantime, melt the two types of chocolate in the microwave or bain-marie.
– After the time has elapsed, line a tray with parchment paper and with slightly damp hands, form balls slightly larger than a walnut.
– Dip the truffles into the two types of chocolate, and just before the chocolate solidifies, decorate the surface of the truffles with a few colored sugars.
Tips and storage:
– For a better aesthetic result, trim the edges of the truffles when the chocolate is completely solidified. Store in the fridge for no more than 3 days.
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Answers to your doubts
– Can I use only one type of chocolate?
– Yes, of course! You can make them with the chocolate you prefer.
– I don’t like ricotta; can it be replaced?
– Yes, with cheese like Philadelphia.
– My cream turned out too soft, why?
– Maybe you “over-blended” it. Perhaps you need to use a drier ricotta. Next time try grinding the cookies first and then add the ricotta (or other spreadable cheese).
