Easy Cream Cheese Truffles Food

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.
