Description

Indulgent no-bake thin mint cookie truffles bring a delightful twist to classic Girl Scout cookie flavors. Chocolate-coated mint morsels melt effortlessly on your palate, offering a cool, crisp escape into sweet bliss.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 box (9 ounces or 255 grams) Thin Mint cookies
  • 4 ounces (115 grams) cream cheese
  • 8 ounces (225 grams) semi-sweet or dark chocolate

Garnish and Decorative Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup (40 grams) crushed Thin Mint cookies or white chocolate drizzle or sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Crush Thin Mint cookies in a food processor until they transform into a uniform, fine powder-like texture.
  2. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a mixing bowl, ensuring smooth, consistent ground texture.
  3. Incorporate cream cheese into the cookie crumbs, blending thoroughly until a cohesive, moldable mixture develops.
  4. Roll the combined mixture into compact, uniform spherical shapes, using gentle pressure to create smooth truffles.
  5. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined tray, then transfer to the refrigerator for initial chilling.
  6. Melt chocolate in a double boiler or microwave, stirring until achieving a silky, glossy consistency.
  7. Carefully immerse each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring complete and even coating.
  8. Gently lift truffles from chocolate using a fork, allowing excess to drip back into the chocolate vessel.
  9. Delicately sprinkle reserved cookie crumbs atop each chocolate-covered truffle for decorative garnish.
  10. Return the decorated truffles to the refrigerator, allowing them to set and solidify for approximately 15 minutes.
  11. Once chocolate has hardened, transfer truffles to a serving platter and enjoy the decadent, cool treat.

Notes

  • Pulse cookies carefully to avoid over-processing, which can make the mixture too dense and compact for perfect truffle texture.
  • For gluten-free option, substitute Thin Mint cookies with gluten-free chocolate mint cookies or make a homemade version using gluten-free chocolate wafers.
  • Chill truffles for at least 30 minutes before serving to help them set firmly and develop a more intense flavor profile.
  • If food processor isn’t available, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin for a similar fine crumb consistency.
