Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries
Equipment
- 1 Mixing Bowl
- 1 Spoon or piping bag
- 1 Lined tray
Ingredients
- 12 large strawberries ripe but firm
- 1 cup chocolate sandwich cookies crushed finely
- 4 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp alcohol-free vanilla
- 1 cup chocolate chips or melting chocolate for drizzling or coating
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries well and dry them completely. Slice off the tops, then carefully hollow out a small center from each berry so there is room for the filling.
- In a bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, alcohol-free vanilla, and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies until thick and well combined. The texture should be soft enough to pipe, but firm enough to hold its shape.
- Spoon or pipe the filling into each strawberry cavity. Gently mound the filling on top so the berries look full and finished.
- Melt the chocolate chips or melting chocolate, then drizzle it over the stuffed strawberries. You can also dip the tops for a richer finish.
- Place the strawberries on a lined tray and chill them until the filling firms up slightly. Serve them cold for the best texture and flavor.

FAQs
Can I make Oreo Truffle Stuffed Strawberries ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare them a few hours in advance. For the best texture, keep them chilled and assemble them the same day you plan to serve them.
How do I keep the strawberries from getting watery?
Make sure the berries are fully dry before filling them, and store them in a single layer in the refrigerator. Excess moisture is the main reason they soften.
Can I use a different cookie?
Yes, any chocolate sandwich cookie or similar cream-filled cookie works well. You can also try vanilla sandwich cookies for a sweeter variation.
Do I need a piping bag?
No, a spoon works just fine. A piping bag or zip-top bag simply makes the filling look neater and a little easier to place.
