We have a couple of versions of cookie truffles on our blog, but I think that this one is my favorite combinations – lemon + cream cheese + chocolate . . . it is DELICIOUS!
These no-bake truffles will quickly become your go-to dessert. They are great for when you need a quick dessert for a party or you don’t feel like turning your oven on to make a treat!
You can even put your kids in charge of making them!
How to make No-Bake Truffles
If you have never made truffles before, don’t be intimated – it’s easy!
Start with a a package of Lemon Sandwich cookies. Generic brands will work great for this recipe!
Stick those cookies in the blender and blend them until they are fine crumbs (you will definitely want a high powered blender, like this one).
Add room temperature cream cheese to the blender until completely mixed together. You could also mix the crumbs and cream cheese together in a bowl.
Move the dough into a big bowl (feel free to sample the dough at this point – it’s delicious).
Roll the dough into 1″ balls and place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Stick the cookie sheet in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.
Melt the almond bark according to package directions. Dip each truffle (I usually use a fork or you could use a chocolate dipping tool that makes it easy!) in the melted almond bark and place back on the cookie sheet.
Immediately add sprinkles on top (if using) and place the cookie sheet in the fridge to let the chocolate set up.
In a few minutes, your truffles will be ready to enjoy!
These truffles are adapted from our Oreo Cookie Truffles – we just swapped out the Oreo cookies with lemon sandwich cookies!

My best dipping tip
I know that in the past we have had a couple people ask the best way to dip the truffles – I just place the cookie ball in the melted chocolate and roll it around with a spoon until it’s completely coated. I then lift truffle from chocolate using 2 forks (this will allow excess chocolate to run off) before placing on wax paper/aluminum foil.
You could also use a chocolate dipping tool that makes it easy!

Joy from down under
These are just fantastic! I used this recipe for a baby shower and everyone was asking how I made them. I’ll be sharing your site with my friends for sure 🙂
Yum!!
Do you separate the cookies first? Or crush with the filling?
Crush them with the filling.
what can you use besides cream cheese??? i am not a fan at all…cannot eat it….so….?????
Substitute for 1 cup of cream cheese –
To be Replaced with: ½ cup of Yogurt + ½ cup of Ricotta Cheese (try using ricotta cheese made from partially skimmed milk for best results)
Nature of the Substitute: Ricotta cheese is rich in calcium and sweeter in comparison to cottage cheese.

what did you substitute then with. I’m also from Australia. Thanks
Instead of almond bark? Son is allergic
what is he allergic to? almond bark is just the name. but you can get the white chocolate disks, (like Wilson ones at walmart) or use white chocolate chips. if he’s allergic to chocolate? ummm… carob? but I’m not sure if there is a white carob?
Can you make ahead and freeze?
These tasted really good! I had a blender, but it just wasn’t working very well, so I used our chopper that we usually use for almonds and other nuts, and it worked very well. So, I definitely recommend that method if you don’t have a good blender or food processor.
