Main Ingredients
- 8 oz dark chocolate
- 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Cocoa powder (for coating)
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the dark chocolate using short bursts in the microwave, stirring frequently to avoid burning, until smooth and fully melted.
- Mix in Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the melted chocolate and stir thoroughly until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
- Add Sugar and Vanilla: Gradually add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract while continuously mixing to incorporate them evenly into the mixture.
- Chill the Mixture: Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator to chill for 1 hour, allowing the mixture to firm up and become easier to handle.
- Form Truffles: After chilling, scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into small, bite-sized balls using your hands.
- Coat with Cocoa: Roll each truffle ball in cocoa powder until fully coated, giving them a classic truffle finish.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened to blend smoothly with the chocolate.
- Use good quality dark chocolate for the best flavor.
- Keep truffles refrigerated and consume within 5 days for optimal freshness.
- You can substitute the cocoa powder coating with crushed nuts or shredded coconut for a variation.
