I still remember the first time I bit into a chocolate-covered Easter egg truffle. It was creamy, soft like cookie dough, with a snap of sweet shell that melted instantly. My aunt had made a batch shaped like eggs, tucked into pastel foil. It wasn’t just a treat—it felt like magic.
Years later, I make them every spring with my own twist: minimal ingredients, no baking, and playful decorations. These truffles turn Oreo crumbs and cream cheese into something special. Whether you go classy with dark chocolate or colorful with pastel drizzle, these are the truffles people remember long after Easter.Easter Egg Truffle

Easter Egg Truffle Recipe – Simple & Fun
These Easter egg truffles are soft, chocolatey, and no-bake—perfect for kids, brunch tables, or edible gifts. You only need a few basic ingredients to create these creamy, festive bites.
Ingredients (makes about 18 truffles):
- 24 Oreo cookies (classic, not double-stuffed)
- 4 oz (½ block) cream cheese, softened
- 1½ cups melting chocolate (white, milk, or dark)
- Optional: sprinkles, colored candy melts, or edible glitter
Instructions Easter Egg Truffle:
- Make the dough:
Pulse the Oreos in a food processor until they’re fine crumbs. Add the cream cheese and blend until a thick dough forms. - Shape the eggs:
Scoop small portions (about 1 tbsp) and shape into ovals or egg shapes with your hands. Place on a parchment-lined tray. - Chill:
Freeze the eggs for 20 minutes until firm. This makes dipping easier. - Dip in chocolate:
Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each egg with a fork, letting excess drip off. Place back on tray. - Decorate:
Add sprinkles, colored drizzle, or candy decorations while the coating is still wet. - Set and serve:
Let truffles set fully in the fridge for 15–20 minutes. Serve cold or room temp.
They’re just as simple as our 4 ingredient chocolate bars, but with a seasonal spin that makes them a holiday favorite.
Questions About Ingredients & Technique
How to make Easter egg cookie dough truffles
It’s easy! You mix crushed Oreos and cream cheese until smooth, then shape the mixture into egg forms. After a short chill, you dip them in melted chocolate. These Easter egg truffles are basically no-bake bites of cookie dough in a candy shell—and they’re always a hit.
You can even swap in golden Oreos, peanut butter cookies, or chocolate protein cookies if you want a twist. Just like our healthy chocolate dessert with protein powder, the core process stays the same—crush, mix, chill, dip.
Are Easter egg truffles gluten-free or safe for kids?
It depends on your ingredients. Use gluten-free sandwich cookies and certified gluten-free melting chocolate to keep them allergy-friendly. They’re already egg-free and can be nut-free too.
Kids love helping decorate these truffles, so it’s a fun Easter project. Just supervise during the dipping and decorating stages—they might get messy, but they’ll love it!
Make-Ahead, Serve, and Store
Can you prep Easter truffles in advance?
Absolutely. One of the best things about Easter egg truffles is how well they store. You can make them up to 5 days in advance and keep them chilled in an airtight container. The chocolate coating protects the creamy center from drying out.
Planning a big brunch? Make a double batch and decorate each set in a different color or sprinkle style. They’ll hold their shape perfectly, just like our protein brownies that stay fresh and fudgy all week.
Storage tips for freshness and presentation
- Fridge: Store in a single layer, or separate layers with parchment. They stay fresh for 5–6 days.
- Freezer: Freeze on a tray first, then transfer to a zip bag. Thaw in the fridge before serving.
- Room Temp (short-term only): If your home is cool, they’re fine on the counter for a few hours when serving guests.
Want to serve them like candy-shop treats? Nestle each truffle in a mini cupcake liner and display in an Easter basket or gift box.
