These are incredibly easy. No “cooking” involved. There are so many possibilities with these chocolate truffles. You can add various flavorings and liqueurs to the mix or dip them and decorate them in whatever you like.
I made these rolled in cocoa powder, powdered sugar and finely ground walnuts. They are so pretty and impressive – a perfect addition to your holiday cookie platter.
Ingredients for Cream Cheese Chocolate Truffles:
1/2 of an 8oz package of cream cheese, softened
1 and 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar
1 and 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, melted
3/4 tsp vanilla or liqueur if you prefer
1/2 cup crushed walnuts
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder
How to Make Cream Cheese Truffles:
1. In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese until a smooth consistency.
2. Beat in confectioners’ sugar until smooth.
3. Add the melted chocolate and vanilla until mixture is well blended. Refrigerate truffle mix 1 hour.
4. Pick up chocolate mix 1 teaspoon at a time and roll into 1-inch balls with your hands.
5. For cocoa powder and powdered sugar, pour each into ramekins and roll the chocolate ball in the bowl until evenly coated. For nut covering, press the nuts gently into the truffle.
Notes: I like to keep these refrigerated until ready to serve since they do have cream cheese in them and I like my chocolate cold.
