Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 150g golden Oreo cookies (or plain/gluten-free biscuits)
  • 60g vegan or dairy-free cream cheese
  • 200g dairy-free white chocolate

Decorations

  • Black food gel
  • Orange food gel
  • Strawberry laces or candy pencils (for the scarf)

Instructions

  1. Prepare tray: Line a baking tray with greaseproof paper and set aside to place your truffles once shaped.
  2. Crush cookies: Place the cookies in a food processor or blender and pulse until they reach a crumb-like consistency. If you don’t have an electric mixer, crush them manually with a rolling pin.
  3. Mix dough: Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large bowl, add the vegan cream cheese, and mix thoroughly until the mixture is sticky and can hold its shape when rolled into balls.
  4. Shape snowmen: Using clean hands, weigh 20g of mixture and roll into a ball for the body, then roll 7g into a smaller ball for the head. Place the smaller ball on top of the larger to form a snowman. The two pieces will stick together once chilled. Place each snowman onto the lined tray and repeat with the remaining mixture.
  5. Freeze to set: Place the tray into the freezer for about 20 minutes until the snowmen are firm to touch.
  6. Melt chocolate: About 5 minutes before removing the truffles, melt the dairy-free white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a bain-marie (a bowl over simmering water), or gently in the microwave until fully smooth.
  7. Coat truffles: Take the snowmen out of the freezer and coat each in melted white chocolate. Use a toothpick dipped in the bottom of each truffle to dunk into the chocolate or hold on a fork and drizzle chocolate over. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. For a smooth coat on the light cookie base, one layer is sufficient, but you can repeat to thicken the coating if desired.
  8. Set chocolate coating: Place the coated truffles back onto the lined tray and return to the freezer for 5-10 minutes so the chocolate can harden quickly.
  9. Prepare decorations: Take some leftover white chocolate and mix in black food gel, putting it into a piping bag with a small cut tip. Repeat with another portion mixed with orange food gel.
  10. Decorate snowmen: Pipe orange carrot noses onto the truffles, then add black eyes, mouths, and buttons to bring the snowmen to life.
  11. Add scarves: Cut strawberry lace sweets to fit around each snowman’s neck as scarves. Optionally, use melted white chocolate to stick the scarves in place.
  12. Final freeze: Place the finished snowman truffles back in the freezer for 5 minutes to solidify the decorations.
  13. Serve: Remove from the freezer and enjoy these cute, festive, no-bake treats.

Notes

  • You can substitute golden Oreos with plain or gluten-free cookies depending on dietary preference.
  • The vegan cream cheese can be replaced with dairy cream cheese if not avoiding dairy.
  • Make sure to chill the truffles well so the white chocolate coating sets cleanly.
  • If you don’t have a piping bag, you can use a small plastic bag with a corner cut off for decorating.
  • Store these truffles in the freezer and bring out only when ready to serve for best texture.
  • For a more indulgent treat, add finely chopped nuts or dried fruit into the mixture.
