Servings: 48 truffles
Ingredients
- 4 ounce cream cheese softened
- ½ cup unsalted butter softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1 drop green food coloring gel
- ½ cup semi-sweet mini chocolate morsels
- 12 ounce chocolate coating melted (feel free to use the dark or the white chocolate, or both)
Instructions
- Beat cream cheese and butter until creamy. Add sugar, peppermint extract and food coloring. Beat until well combined.
- Fold in chocolate morsels.
- Using a 1 tbsp scoop, drop onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Freeze for about an hour (more is fine).
- Using a toothpick, pick up the truffle and dip it into the melted chocolate, tapping the side of the bowl to remove the excess chocolate. If desired, add a couple of mini morsels for garnish. Store in refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- Make sure your cream cheese and butter are softened, so they whip up nice and fluffy to create a creamy filling.
- Use a metal cookie scoop (like this 1 Tbsp sized scoop) to portion out your balls onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
- Use a toothpick to dip the balls into the melted chocolate and then tap off any excess to create a smooth coating.
- Add drizzled chocolate or mini chocolate chips to cover the toothpick hole.
- Feel free to use dark, milk or white chocolate melting wafers or bark for your coating. Or use more than one!
