Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 2 cups semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped nuts (optional)
  • 1/4 cup melted white chocolate or milk chocolate (for coating or drizzling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to soften to room temperature. If necessary, microwave it in 10-second intervals until soft.
  2. Mix Cream Cheese and Sugar: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix together until smooth and creamy.
  3. Melt the Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and completely melted.
  4. Combine Chocolate with Cream Cheese: Add the melted chocolate to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to firm it up, making it easier to roll into truffles.
  6. Shape the Truffles: Once chilled, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to form the mixture into small balls.
  7. Coat the Truffles: Roll the truffles in cocoa powder, or dip them in melted chocolate for an additional coating. You can also roll them in crushed nuts or sprinkles for a festive touch.
  8. Chill Again: Return the truffles to the fridge for another 30 minutes to allow the coating to set.

Notes

  • Chill Time: Don’t skip the chilling steps, as they make the mixture easier to roll and help the truffles maintain their shape.
  • Melting Chocolate: Be careful when melting chocolate, doing so in short intervals to avoid overheating.
  • Coating Options: Feel free to experiment with different coatings such as crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or candy sprinkles.
  • Storage: Store your truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week, or freeze for up to 2 months.
