Description

These Salted Caramel Cookie Truffles are indulgent, easy to make, and the perfect combination of sweet and salty in a bite-sized treat. Creamy salted caramel, crumbled cookies, and smooth chocolate come together for a dreamy dessert.

Ingredients

Scale

3/4 cup (175g) salted caramel
2 cups (200g) crushed cookies (shortbread, graham crackers, or chocolate cookies)
8oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 cups (260g) chocolate chips (dark or milk chocolate)
Flaky sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions

Add cookies to a food processor and pulse until they form fine crumbs.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, salted caramel, and softened cream cheese. Stir until fully incorporated.
Using a tablespoon, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Place back on the parchment paper.
Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle a pinch of flaky sea salt on top of each truffle.
Let the truffles sit at room temperature until the chocolate hardens, or refrigerate for quicker results.

Notes

For best results, chill the truffles before dipping them in chocolate to prevent them from falling apart. Use high-quality chocolate for a smooth coating, and avoid overheating it to prevent clumping. The flavors deepen overnight, so they taste even better the next day.
