Ingredients
For the Truffle Centers
-
4 oz cream cheese (softened)
-
1 tbsp unsalted butter (softened)
-
1 cup powdered sugar
-
1 tsp vanilla extract
-
1–1 ½ cups crushed vanilla cookies, graham crackers, or shortbread crumbs
For the Coating
-
1 ½ cups blue candy melts
-
or white chocolate + blue gel food coloring
-
-
1 tbsp coconut oil (optional, helps with smooth dipping)
-
White sprinkles, snowflake sprinkles, pearl sugar, or edible glitter
Instructions
1. Make the Truffle Base
-
In a bowl, beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar until smooth.
-
Mix in cookie crumbs until a thick, moldable dough forms.
2. Shape the Truffles
-
Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into smooth balls.
-
Place on parchment and freeze for 15–20 minutes to firm.
3. Melt the Candy Coating
-
Melt candy melts in 20–30 second microwave intervals, stirring each time.
-
Add coconut oil if needed for a silkier coating.
4. Dip the Truffles
-
Remove truffles from the freezer.
-
Dip each into melted coating using a fork, tapping off extra.
-
Set on parchment and decorate immediately.
5. Serve
Let the coating harden fully. Arrange on a winter-themed tray or box them up as edible gifts. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
Notes
-
Truffles must be very cold before dipping to prevent melting or cracking.
-
Candy coating sets fast — add sprinkles right away.
-
If coating thickens, reheat briefly (10–15 seconds).
-
Cookie crumbs vary by brand — add more if mixture feels too soft.
