Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Truffles
Yield: About 3 dozen truffles
Ingredients:
24 chocolate cream-filled cookies, divided
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
1 cup nonfat dry milk
1 tsp vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
Directions:
Coarsely chop 12 cookies and set aside. Place the remaining 12 cookies in a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Place crumbs on a baking sheet lined with waxed paper and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, dry milk and vanilla with an electric mixer until smooth. Beat in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, at low speed, until mixture is smooth. Stir in reserved chopped cookies. Refrigerate 2 hours, or until firm. (The mixture will still be a bit sticky).
Shape rounded tablespoonfuls of cream cheese mixture into balls and roll in reserved cookie crumbs. The mixture might still be a little difficult to form into balls, but just get a general round shape, then when you roll it in the cookie crumbs, it should look much better. :) Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
