Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese or coconut butter
- 2 tbsp butter, or additional coconut butter
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee
- 3 oz chocolate chips or broken up chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Bring the cream cheese (or coconut butter) and butter (or additional coconut butter) to room temperature so they soften and are easier to mix.
- Mix Until Smooth: Combine all the main ingredients including powdered sugar and instant coffee until the mixture is smooth. Using a hand mixer is recommended for the creamiest texture, but a fork can also be used effectively.
- Shape the Truffles: Spread the mixture into a container if you want bars or squares, or freeze it for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop. Use a mini cookie scoop to form balls and place them on a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze to Firm Up: Freeze the scooped truffle balls until they are solid.
- Optional Chocolate Dip: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and dip the truffles in it. For a smoother dipping sauce, stir in half a teaspoon of oil into the melted chocolate. This step is optional.
- Set and Serve: Allow the chocolate to set, then cut the truffles in half if desired, replicating the look in photos.
- Storage: Refrigerate or freeze leftovers to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use cream cheese for a classic creamy texture or coconut butter for a dairy-free option.
- Powdered erythritol is a great low-calorie sugar substitute for those watching their sugar intake.
- Ensure ingredients are softened to make mixing easier and create a smooth texture.
- Dipping in chocolate is optional but adds a delightful crunch and extra richness.
- Adding a small amount of oil to melted chocolate makes dipping easier and yields a smoother coating.
- Store truffles in the freezer for longer shelf life or the refrigerator for ready-to-eat treats.
