Description

These 5-Ingredient Thin Mint Cookie Truffles are an incredibly easy and delicious no-bake dessert. Made with chocolate mint sandwich cookies, cream cheese, peppermint extract, and coated in rich melted semi-sweet chocolate, these truffles are the perfect minty chocolate treat for any occasion. Ready in under an hour, they combine familiar flavors with a smooth, creamy texture that’s sure to please.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Mixture

  • 36 chocolate mint sandwich cookies
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cookie Crumbs: Place the chocolate mint sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form, ensuring an even texture for the truffle base.
  2. Make Truffle Dough: Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until fully combined and a thick, pliable dough forms.
  3. Form Truffle Balls: Scoop about 1 tablespoon portions of the dough and roll each into a smooth ball with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to prevent sticking.
  4. Chill the Truffles: Refrigerate the truffle balls for 30 minutes until firm, which helps them hold their shape during dipping.
  5. Melt Chocolate Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips with the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
  6. Dip Truffles in Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each cold truffle completely in the melted chocolate. Return the coated truffles onto the parchment-lined sheet to set.
  7. Set and Serve: Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate until firm before serving to ensure a crisp outer shell.

Notes

  • Use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor.
  • If the dough becomes too soft to roll, chill it in the refrigerator for 10 to 15 minutes to firm up.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week to maintain freshness.
