Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 2 cups baked sugar cookies, crumbled
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- 12 ounces white chocolate, melted
- Sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the crumbled sugar cookies, softened cream cheese, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and fully combined.
- Form Truffles: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls using your hands, then place them evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or until firm enough to dip.
- Melt Chocolate: Gently melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Truffles: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, making sure it is completely coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back onto the parchment paper.
- Decorate: While the chocolate coating is still wet, optionally sprinkle with decorative sprinkles to add color and texture.
- Set Truffles: Let the coated truffles set at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate hardens completely. Once set, they are ready to serve and enjoy.
Notes
- Use well-baked sugar cookies for best texture and flavor.
- Ensure cream cheese is softened to mix easily without lumps.
- White chocolate can be melted over a double boiler as an alternative to the microwave for more control.
- Chill the truffle balls well before dipping to prevent them from breaking apart.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Feel free to substitute sprinkles with crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or colored sugar for variety.
