This truffle recipe was created from ripe bananas and my imagination, and the outcome blew my family and friends away! I don’t particularly like bananas, but I could eat these truffles all day long. —Michele, Lassuy, Orlando, Florida

Ingredients

1 package (14.3 ounces) Golden Oreo cookies
1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
2 teaspoons banana extract
1/3 cup mashed ripe banana
1 pound milk chocolate candy coating, melted
Dried banana chips, coarsely crushed

Directions

Pulse cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. In a bowl, beat cream cheese and extract until blended. Beat in banana. Stir in cookie crumbs. Freeze, covered, until firm enough to shape, about 2 hours.
Shape mixture into 1-in. balls. Dip cookie balls in candy coating; place on waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Top immediately with banana chips.
Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes. Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.

Test Kitchen tips

To coat the truffles, we used two forks to dip and turn them in the chocolate coating.

To crush the banana chips, place them in a zip-top plastic bag and pound them with a meat mallet or rolling pin until broken.
