A few years later I started making trifles for family gatherings and he really liked them. He helped me make the Strawberry Trifle for my husband’s birthday in 2015. That year for Christmas I gave him this trifle dish and all of my trifle recipes. That gift was a huge hit!

It’s been a while since I’ve made a trifle but when I was asked to make some sort of Oreo trifle for his birthday, I got excited. The result was this easy, delicious, Oreo Cheesecake Trifle. Trifles are easy to make and are best when made a day in advance so that the flavors can meld together and the brownies can get a little soggy, but the choice is yours.

Cheesecake Trifle Ingredients

Brownies

• 1 box brownie mix,13 x 9″ pan size
• water, eggs, and oil as directed on the box

Cheesecake Layer

• 2-8 oz cream cheese softened
• 2/3 cup confectioner’s sugar
• 3 TBS milk
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 cups Cool Whip
• 24 Oreos crushed

Chocolate Ganache

• 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/3 cup milk

Whipped Cream Layer

• 4 cups Cool Whip

Oreo Layer

• 12 Oreos Crumbled

Decorating

• 2 cups Cool Whip
• 9 Oreos

Oreo Cheesecake Trifle Instructions

Brownies

• Bake brownies according to package directions in a 9 x 13″ pan.

Cheesecake Layer

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth.
• Add in the milk and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
• Fold the Cool Whip into the cream cheese mixture until combined.
• Fold the cookie crumbs into the mixture until well distributed.
• Set aside,

Chocolate Ganache

• In a double boiler, gently melt the chocolate chips. Stirring regularly.
• Remove from heat as soon as they are melted.
• Add milk and stir until smooth.
• Set aside.

Assembling the Trifle

• Cut the brownies into small 1″ cubes.
• Place half the brownie pieces in a layer in the bottom of the trifle dish.
• Add half the cheesecake mixture on top of the brownie layer. Place it in the middle and spread it to the sides with an offset spatula so that your edges are clean.
• Place half of the crumbled Oreos around the outside of the bowl.
• Spoon half of the ganache into the center of the circle made by the Oreos.
• Add a layer of 2 cups of Cool Whip, again from the center working outwards.
• Repeat the layers again, brownies, cheesecake, Oreos, ganache, Cool Whip

Refrigerate

• Cover the trifle with plastic wrap and refrigerate 4-24 hours.

Serving

• Just before serving, add more Cool Whip on top and decorate with whole cookies.
• Cover and refrigerate leftovers. They are good for about 4 days.

Recipe Notes

• I used most of 2 16oz tubs of Cool Whip
• I used all but 3 cookies from the family size pack of Oreos
• You can melt your chocolate chips in the microwave but I don’t recommend it. I have broken a lot of chocolate that way and no one wants to waste chocolate.

While we were enjoying the Strawberry Swirl Cheesecake for RB’s birthday, Verlin said, “I’ll take Oreo cheesecake for my birthday.” Verlin’s birthday is today, the day before my birthday, and we have celebrated together at Walt Disney World a few times.

Since I knew I’d be bringing Verlin’s birthday treat to trivia on Tuesday night, I decided to make Oreo Cheesecake Bites since they are easier to transport and serve. To make the cheesecake I halved the no-bake cheesecake recipe I used for the Orange Creamsicle Cheesecake recipe I made for our Easter cookout. This made exactly 12 cheesecake bites.

I made these Oreo truffles to take to my Stars class of 3rd-5th grade girls at church on Wednesday night. I haven’t had a chance to bring them a homemade snack in a while and I knew most of them would love these as a special treat.

I said I tried to go fancy and it wasn’t worth the extra effort so here is my cautionary tale. I thought, maybe I should make heart shaped truffles since it’s Valentine’s Day. I got out my silicone molds and carefully filled both heart molds that I had. Of course these molds only make 15 truffles each so I had to repeat the process of filling, freezing, and popping them out until I had 65 truffles, this took an extra 90 minutes!

Then after I rolled them in the candy melts and set them to dry, they really didn’t look like hearts anymore anyway! What a waste of time and energy. Don’t be fancy, just make balls like the recipe says.

Ingredients

• 36 Oreos original
• 8 oz cream cheese softened
• 2 pkg candy melts
• sprinkles if desired

Instructions

• Place the Oreos in a food processor until they become fine crumbs.
• Pour the Oreo crumbs into a mixing bowl.
• Cut the cream cheese into 6 pieces, add them to the mixing bowl.
• Using a paddle attachment, mix the cookie crumbs with the cream cheese until fully incorporated.
• Roll the mixture into 1″ balls by hand, or use a small cookie scoop.
• Lay the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Don’t let them touch each other.
• Place the cookie sheet in the freezer for 30 minutes.
  
• Melt 1 package of the candy melts following the directions on the package.
• One at a time roll the chocolate balls in the melted candy and then set on a parchment lined cookie sheet.
• If you are adding sprinkles, do it immediately because the candy hardens quickly.
• Let the candy dry completely and then store in an air tight container for a few days.

Even though these aren’t the prettiest Oreo truffles I have ever made, they are delicious. The girls at church loved them! I even got Savannah to try one because I told her they were chocolate truffles…she doesn’t like Oreos <gasp>!
