Categories     Desserts

Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

8 oz Brick style cream cheese (softened)
2 Cups Powdered sugar
2 Cups Chocolate chips (dark, semi-sweet, milk or a mix)
1 Cup Chocolate candy melts (Dark, milk or white)
Sprinkles (optional)

Steps:

  • Begin by beating the cream cheese in a large bowl, then slowly add the powdered sugar and beat until light and fluffy.
  • Melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler over the stove, or the microwave, then add to the cream cheese mixture and mix until smooth.
  • If you want different flavours, you can add a teaspoon or two of extract. Or divide the batter and make several flavours.
  • Place the bowl in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to allow the filling to firm up so you can roll it.
  • Remove the truffle filling from the fridge and roll into balls between 1/2 and 1 inch in size and place on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat. I like to use a melon baller as it is the perfect size.
  • Melt the chocolate candy melts in the microwave or double boiler and then dip the truffle balls in the melted chocolate. You can lower the truffle into the chocolate with a fork or use a chocolate dipping tool.
  • Move back to the silicone baking sheet to allow the chocolate shell to harden. If you want to decorate with sprinkles, do so before the chocolate sets.
  • Once the shell has hardened, move the truffles to an air tight container and store in the refrigerator.

1/2 cup cocoa powder (for rolling)
4 ounces unsweetened chocolate
8 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature)
14 ounces (3 1/2 cups) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.

  • Stop the mixer and add the melted chocolate , vanilla, and salt. Beat until combined, stopping to scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
  • Remove the bowl from the mixer, cover it with cling wrap, and refrigerate until the candy is firm enough to scoop, about 20 to 30 minutes.
  • Once the candy is firm but not rock-hard, scoop it into small 1-inch balls using a teaspoon or candy scoop. Roll the balls in the cocoa powder and place them onto a baking sheet or into an airtight container. Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, and for best taste and texture, serve at room temperature.
  • Enjoy!
