Blonde Chocolate Cream Cheese Truffles
This blonde chocolate cream cheese truffles recipe makes rich, creamy candy shop quality truffles with a smooth center and a silky blonde chocolate shell. They look fancy enough for gifts or parties but are surprisingly easy to make!
Ingredients
4 oz, cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. powdered sugar
8 oz. blonde chocolate, melted
1 Tbsp. butter
Optional toppings: sea salt flakes or toasted nuts
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Chill the mixture for 15–20 minutes, just until firm enough to handle.
- Scoop and roll into small balls (about ½ inch) and place on a parchment-lined tray.
- Freeze for 20–30 minutes, or until very firm.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the blonde chocolate and butter together in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each frozen cream cheese ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely, then place back onto the parchment.
- Sprinkle with sea salt or nuts before the coating sets.
- Chill until firm, then store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use a fork or dipping tool to make coating easier and neater.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla or a pinch of salt to the cream cheese mixture.
- These truffles make great holiday or gift-box treats when stored chilled.
