EASY CREAM CHEESE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 30 seconds increments until fully melted.
• Add melted chocolate and cream cheese to a stand mixer with the paddle attachment. Mix until combined and smooth.
• Slowly mix in powdered sugar and cocoa powder. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour to chill.
• Roll into 16 truffles and top with your favorite toppings.

CHOCOLATE CREAM CHEESE TRUFFLES

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.

COOKIES & CREAM TRUFFLES EASY DESSERT RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• In a food processor, finely crush the cookies, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for sprinkling on top of the truffles.
• In a large bowl, combine the cookie crumbs and cream cheese, stirring until evenly mixed. Chill the mixture for about an hour or until it can be rolled into a ball and hold its shape.
• Divide and roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls. Dip the truffles in the melted white chocolate and place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs on top of the truffles before the chocolate hardens.
• Enjoy!

SIMPLY SENSATIONAL TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Melt 8 oz. chocolate as directed on package. Beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy. Blend in melted chocolate. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.
• Shape chocolate mixture into 36 balls; place on waxed paper-covered rimmed baking sheet.
• Melt remaining chocolate. Use fork to dip truffles in chocolate; return to prepared baking sheet. Add decorations as desired. Refrigerate 1 hour.

EASY OREO TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Crush 9 of the cookies to fine crumbs in food processor; reserve for later use. (Cookies can also be finely crushed in a resealable plastic bag using a rolling pin.) Crush remaining 36 cookies to fine crumbs; place in medium bowl. Add cream cheese; mix until well blended. Roll cookie mixture into 42 balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
• Dip balls in chocolate; place on wax paper-covered baking sheet. (Any leftover chocolate can be stored at room temperature for another use.) Sprinkle with reserved cookie crumbs.
• Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour. Store leftover truffles, covered, in refrigerator.

EASY DECADENT TRUFFLES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually beat in confectioners' sugar until well blended. Stir in melted chocolate and vanilla until no streaks remain. Refrigerate for about 1 hour. Shape into 1 inch balls.

CAKE TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Cook the cake as directed on the box for a 13 X 9 cake.
• After the cake is cooked and cooled completely, crumble into a large bowl. Make sure any parts that have a more crusty texture (from the outside edge of the pan) are picked out.
• Mix the cake thoroughly with the cream cheese frosting (like you would mix meatloaf). Make sure the cake is moist enough to roll into balls, but not mushy; you may not need to use all of the frosting (I find that about 3/4 of the container is a good amount).
• Roll the mixture into quarter-size balls and lay on a wax-paper covered cookie sheet.
• Chill for several hours (you can speed this up by putting in the freezer).
• Melt chocolate in the microwave per directions on package.
• Roll balls in chocolate and lay on wax paper until firm. (Use two spoons to dip and roll in chocolate and then tap off extra.).
• Decorate as desired.
• NOTES:.
• For steps 3 and 4, I found it works very well to wear powder-free latex gloves (if you're not allergic). I already have them for cutting jalapenos. They don't stick to the cake, and no coloring gets on your hands (if you're working with a red velvet cake, like in my eyeball pictures).
• If using small sprinkles to decorate, use a 1/4 teaspoons measuring spoon, and sprinkle a little on the top of each cake truffle before the chocolate coating firms up.
• I chilled my cake truffles in the refrigerator overnight (for step 5), and they were easy to work with.
• I used a 1 lb. bag of candy melts from the craft store, but I ran out near the last 1/3 of my cake truffles, so I covered the rest with either powdered sugar or drizzled semi-sweet chocolate (therefore, I recommend using more than one bag of candy melts, or a couple of packages of candy bark available at most grocery stores).
• The recipe says it makes 40-50 cake truffles, but I usually get about 88 (I must roll them smaller).
