These Ube Oreo Truffle Balls are oh so easy to make. All you need are super fine crushed Oreo cookie crumbs mixed with Ube Polvoron, oh and some Ube Ice Cream to combine it all together.
Honestly these should not exist. They are that good. For some reason Ube and Oreo go really good together. I can't explain the science behind it. Every time I have had Ube and Oreo combined it just works. You can taste both flavors at the same time.
The inspiration for these balls are from Cafe 86. They have really big ass Ube Truffles that are coated in Oreo crumbs. I remember the first time I bit into one - freaking life changing. This version is smaller and more compact and the Oreos are mixed into the truffles.
Ingredients
This is what you will need to make the Ube Oreo Truffle Balls.
Oreo Truffle Mix - Getting this box is optional. You can make your own by putting just the Oreo cookie (without the filling) into a food processor.
Ube Polvoron - My favorite brand to use for this recipe is Goldilocks, as they make them big. Use 3 and make sure they are super smashed down.
Melted Butter - This helps harden the balls and keep them together.
Ube Ice Cream - I added this for additional Ube flavor and it works! Just make sure it's fully melted.
For the coating you will need some powdered sugar and ube powdered mixed together.
How To Make Ube Oreo Truffle Balls
Combine the Oreo crumbs, crushed ube polvoron, butter and ube ice cream into a bowl.
Use clean hands to mash everything together. You know it's mixed well when you pinch off some of the truffle between your fingers and stays together and does not fall apart.
Use a spoon to scoop out a small portion and roll into small balls.
Once you are done rolling combine the powdered sugar and ube powder and mix well.
Roll each ball into the mixture.
Repeat for the rest of the balls.
How To Store Ube Oreo Truffle Balls
Any leftover Ube Oreo Truffle Balls can be stored in an air tight container in the refrigerator.
Keep up to 1 week. If you want to keep them longer transfer to the freezer to keep for up to 3 months.
