How to Make Super Easy Chocolate Truffles
- Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and completely melted. (Do not overheat!)
- In a separate bowl, beat 4 ounces of cream cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add 2 cups of powdered sugar to the cream cheese, beating until well combined and fluffy.
- Gently stir in the melted chocolate, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of your choice of extract (raspberry, orange, hazelnut, almond, or peppermint).
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to handle.
- Once firm, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Roll the truffles in unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, chopped nuts (almonds, hazelnuts etc.), or dip them in melted white or dark chocolate.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the coatings to set.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
