Calling all Star Wars Fans, these Princess Leia Oreo truffles are for you. Fun to make and even more fun to eat, they are a must for May 4th. For these truffles, I process Oreo cookies with cream cheese, and once it is set, I roll the truffles in a few layers of chocolate, create Princess Leia’s ears using Rolo candies, and then draw on her face. It sounds a bit complicated, but it comes together easily with these instructions.

Pretty Princess Leia Truffles

I realize these Princess Leia Oreo Truffles are out of the norm of what I usually post here on The Cookie Rookie, but I saw the preview for the new Star Wars movie and wanted to get creative.

These Princess Leia Oreo truffles are so cute and super easy to make. Most importantly, they taste amazing. How could Oreo cookies combined with cream cheese, white chocolate, dark chocolate, and Rolos not taste amazing? With a few simple steps, allocating time for each layer of chocolate to set, these truffles really are almost too cute to eat. They are obviously perfect for a treat on May 4th, but they are a perfect addition for any Star Wars fan’s birthday.

These simple chocolate truffles are a great option that you can customize to your liking if you’re looking to get creative. May the force be with you!

Ingredients 

1x2x3x

• ▢ 30 Oreo cookies 339g
• ▢ 4 oz. cream cheese low fat, 114g, cold (½ brick)
• ▢ 6 oz. white chocolate melting wafers 170g (or Vanilla Almond Bark)
• ▢ 5 oz. dark or milk chocolate melting wafers 142g (or good quality chocolate chips)
• ▢ ¼ cup chocolate icing 31g, homemade or store-bought (to act as glue)
• ▢ 24 Rolo candies 144g
• ▢ edible markers to make the eyes and lips

Instructions 

• Line a large baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.
• In a food processor or strong blender, pulse the Oreos until they're finely chopped. Add the cream cheese and pulse until the entire mixture is creamed together.

• Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 10-20 minutes, or until it is a bit firmer and cold.
• Roll the truffle mixture into balls and place them on the baking sheet.
• Place the truffles in the refrigerator for 20 minutes, until firm. After removing them from the refrigerator, you can re-roll them to make them more the shape you want if they have depressed at all.
• Heat the white chocolate or almond bark in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between. Be careful not to burn the chocolate.
  6 oz. white chocolate melting wafers
• Dip each truffle into the white chocolate fully and then place it on the baking sheet again. Place in the refrigerator for another 20 minutes to set the chocolate/bark.
• Heat the milk or dark chocolate in the microwave the same way as before, stirring in between and being careful not to burn.
  5 oz. dark or milk chocolate melting wafers
• Dip each side of each truffle into the chocolate, making the "hair line". If it works better you can use a fork for this part, dipping each side and then placing the truffle back on the wax paper.
• Again let the truffles rest in the fridge for 20 minutes to set the chocolate.
• Take each truffle and place a bit of icing on each side, where you want Leia's "hair buns" to go. Attach a Rolo to each side and place back on the wax paper.

• Again allow them to sit in the refrigerator to set the icing. (tedious, but cuteness is upon us!)
• Using edible markers, draw a face on each truffle. I did simple dots for eyes and a small heart for the mouth.

Equipment

• Kitchen Scale (optional)
• Baking Sheet
• Food Processor OR
• High Powered Blender

Becky’s Tips

• Use any flavor of Oreos you like and swap the Rolos for Maltesers.
• So the truffles don’t stick to your hands, spray your hands with cooking spray.
• The chocolate must fully set at each stage for the colors not to bleed into each other.
• Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

How to Store

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Freeze

Place the truffles in a container so that they are not touching, and freeze for up to 2 months. Remove from the freezer 30 minutes before serving so that they soften a little.

What to Enjoy With These Princess Leia Truffles

In keeping with a Star Wars theme, I’ll often serve these truffles with a steaming hot cup of white hot chocolate with stormtrooper marshmallows, and to add more variety to our snacks, I’ll add this crunchy, sweet and salty hot buttered Cheerios. If we are going to be watching Star Wars, then this easy cookies and cream popcorn is a must to munch on as we watch.

• Chocolate Pudding is a creamy, rich chocolate dessert that takes me back to my childhood.
• These Chocolate Butter Cookies are full of flavor from cocoa powder, espresso, sea salt, and brown sugar.
• This 3-ingredient Homemade Magic Shell takes any bowl of ice cream up a notch.
