How to Make Cheesecake Truffle Bombs For The Holidays
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Line an 8- or 9-inch square baking pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides to lift the baked cheesecake out easily. Spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a blender, combine all cheesecake ingredients until completely smooth and creamy.
- Pour batter into the prepared pan and spread evenly.
- Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the cheesecake is set around the edges and the center is just slightly jiggly. It should be firm, but not dried or curling.
- Let the cheesecake cool completely in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight.
- While the cheesecake is chilling, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Once the cheesecake is completely cool, use a sharp knife to cut it into 24 or 32 small, even squares.
- Place the cheesecake squares onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze the squares for 1-2 hours, or until solid.
- While the cheesecake squares are freezing, melt your dipping chocolate according to package directions. Maintain a double boiler or low heat to prevent burning.
- Using a fork, carefully dip each frozen cheesecake square into the melted chocolate, ensuring all sides are fully coated.
- Place the dipped truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
- Optional: Dip in additional melted chocolate or drizzle with white chocolate for extra flair.
- Refrigerate briefly to set the additional chocolate.
- Transfer the set Cheesecake Truffle Bombs to small confectionery paper cups.
- Seal the truffles in a zip-top freezer bag and store in the freezer for up to two months. Serve frozen or slightly thawed.
