Ingredients
Scale
Truffle Base
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup crushed chocolate cookies
Coating
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Decorations
- Mini chocolate chips for eyes
- Orange candy pieces for nose
- Black icing for mouth
Instructions
- Prepare the truffle mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar. Mix well until completely smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
- Add crushed cookies: Stir in the crushed chocolate cookies until the mixture is evenly combined and forms a thick dough-like consistency ready to be shaped.
- Form the truffle balls: Using your hands or a small scoop, roll the mixture into small equal-sized balls, about 1-inch diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Melt the white chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil. Heat in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Coat the truffles: Dip each truffle ball into the melted white chocolate to fully coat it. Use a fork or toothpick to lift them out and allow excess chocolate to drip off before placing them back on the baking sheet.
- Set the coating: Let the truffles sit at room temperature or refrigerate briefly until the white chocolate coating is firm and set.
- Decorate the snowmen faces: Use mini chocolate chips for the eyes, orange candy pieces for the nose, and black icing to draw smiling mouths. Allow decorations to set before serving.
Notes
- For best results, let the cream cheese soften to room temperature before mixing.
- If the white chocolate coating is too thick, add a little more vegetable oil to thin it.
- Store the finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Use crushed Oreos or any chocolate sandwich cookies for best texture and flavor.
- Decorate creatively to personalize your snowman truffles for holidays or winter gatherings.
