• Transfer crushed Oreos to a mixing bowl. Add the room temperature cream cheese to the bowl and mix slightly using a spatula. Now mix using hands until mixture is well combined, it would come together like a slightly sticky dough.
• Scoop mixture out about 1 tbsp at a time and roll into a smooth ball using greased hands. Place it on a parchment or wax paper-lined freezer-safe tray.
• Keep shaping balls until all the mixture is used up. Freeze them for 30 minutes to 1 hour or until they are firm.
• Add white chocolate pieces to a bowl and melt it in a double boiler (bain-marie) or the microwave. Once melted, remove the bowl from the pot. Set it aside and let it cool until it is at room temperature. It should still be liquid at this point.
• Similarly, add dark or milk chocolate pieces to a bowl and melt it in a double boiler (bain-marie) or the microwave. Once melted, remove the bowl from the pot. Set it aside and let it cool until it is at room temperature. It should still be liquid at this point.

• Dip all the truffles in the chocolate. Once ready, let them set in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before serving. Once set, trim off the extra chocolate for the final touch.
