Can I make these vegan?
Yes! To make a vegan version, substitute the cream cheese with a dairy-free alternative and use vegan white chocolate. These vegan no-bake truffles are every bit as creamy and nutty – a perfect plant-based treat for pistachio lovers!
How should I store these truffles?
These have cream cheese in them so they will not keep forever. Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for up to a month. They’re perfect for making ahead!
What is Pistachio Butter / Pistachio Paste and where can I get it?
You can order it online or check your local grocery stores. The best option is 100% pistachio. There are cheaper options out there but they contain white chocolate or sugar so check the ingredients.

Ingredients
- 150 g Golden Oreo cookies about 1 ¼ cups, crushed

- 1 tbsp 100% pistachio butter or paste
- 200 g white chocolate approx. 1 ¼ cups, chopped or chips
Instructions

Prep: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside.

Crush the Cookies: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until they’re fine crumbs (about 1 ¼ cups). Transfer to a mixing bowl.
-
Grind Pistachios: Process the pistachios separately until finely ground (about ½ cup) and add them to the cookie crumbs.
-
Mix the Filling: Add the cream cheese (⅓ cup) and 1 tablespoon of pistachio butter to the bowl with the cookie-pistachio mix. Stir until fully combined.

Form the Truffles: Roll the mixture into small balls (1 heaping tsp each) and place them on the prepared tray. Insert a toothpick into each truffle for easier coating. Freeze for 25 minutes.
-
Melt the Chocolate: Just before removing the truffles from the freezer, melt the white chocolate using a double boiler.
-
Coat the Truffles: Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate. Gently tap the toothpick on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.

Decorate and Set: Sprinkle chopped pistachios over the truffles while the chocolate is still wet. Place them back on the tray and let them set in the freezer for 5-10 minutes.
