Description
Delicious and creamy White Chocolate Cheesecake Truffles that are easy to make and perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup brown sugar (for coating)
- 1 pinch salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt if using. Fold in the crushed graham crackers until well combined. The mixture should be thick enough to form balls.
- Shaping the Truffles: Scoop portions of the mixture using a teaspoon or small cookie scoop and roll them into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Coating the Truffles: Melt the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler), stirring until smooth. Alternatively, melt in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it is completely coated. Use a fork to lift out and allow excess chocolate to drip off. Place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Final Touches: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops of the truffles with brown sugar for added texture and flavor. Refrigerate the truffles until the chocolate is set.
Notes
- Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for a smooth mixture.
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and consistency.
- These truffles can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- For variations, consider adding a splash of almond extract or lemon zest for different flavor profiles.
- If the truffles are too soft to roll, chill the mixture slightly before forming shapes.
