Oreo Truffles * Trufas de Oreo

Ingredients

• 200g Oreo Cookies/Biscuits - Bolachas Oreo
• 100g Cream Cheese - queijo creme
• 200g Baking Chocolate - chocolate culinário
• Vanilla Extract - Extrato de baunilha

1. Take all the Oreo's out of their packet and put them into a food bag. Grab your rolling pin and give them a good bash until they are just crumbs. (You may need to double bag them, as the bag may burst.) Alternatively you can use a food processor.                             1. Esmague as bolachas Oreo ou processe-as até obter um pó.
2.  Put the Cream Cheese in a large bowl and add a splash of Vanilla Extract and mix through. The reason I add the Vanilla Extract it Cream Cheese is often very cheesy, the vanilla sweetens it!                Coloque o queijo creme numa taça larga, acrescente baunilha q.b. e misture.
3. Add the bashed Oreo's to the Cream Cheese & Vanilla mix and mix it thoroughly. The more Oreo that goes in the harder it becomes to mix but ensure you add pretty much all of it. You may not be able to use all the Oreo's as they have an inconsistent filling and may make a thicker mixture. (If you have Oreo's left over, it's perfect for topping the Truffles once they've been coated in chocolate)                            Junte o queijo creme às bolachas esmagadas, reserve algum pó para decorar as bolinhas.
4. Take approximately a tsp of the Oreo mixture and roll it in your hands to make a small ball. The truffles can be made bigger, but they are very thick and sweet so smaller ones are usually more enjoyable. Continue to roll them into balls and put them onto a sheet of baking parchment.                                                                                      Agarre um bocadinho da mistura e faça uma bolinha, rolando entre as mãos, faça pequenas bolas, esta mistura dá para aproximadamente 45 bolinhas.
5. The Oreo's ideally need at least at hour to cool, this allows them to become slightly harder and less sticky. Making them easier to dip in the chocolate. Although if longer than an hour suits it will not make a difference, I often leave them over night.                                            As bolinhas demoram cerca de uma hora a arrefecer no frigorifico, até ficarem mais duras e menos pegajosas, vai tornar-se mais fácil cobri-las com o chocolate.
6. Just before taking the Truffles out start to melt your Chocolate, it's best suited if you use a larger bowl so it is easier to manoeuvre the Truffles.                                                                                           Derreta o chocolate e retire as trufas do frigorifico. 
7. Once the Chocolate has completely melted get two forks, put a truffle on the four and dip in in the chocolate until it is totally covered. Take it out and use the other fork to help move the truffle from one to another to drain the excess Chocolate back into the bowl. Put the Truffle down on the paper then you have the option to either put some of the left over Oreo on top of it, or wait until it's dried to add some lines of chocolate in a different colour.  Enjoy.                                             Depois do chocolate derretido pegue em dois garfos, segure uma trufa e mergulhe-a no chocolate, retire-a e com o outro garfo mova a trufa de um lado para o outro retirando o excesso para a taça. Coloque a trufa numa taça com o fundo forrado a pó de bolacha.  Polvilhe as trufas com o resto e Bom Apetite.
