Chocolate Chip Cheesecake Truffles.

These are absolutely delicious and so easy to make! They would make a great gift to give away for the Holidays... Try it today!

Ingredients:
1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 package (250g) Cream Cheese at room temperature
1/2 cup Icing sugar
1/2 cup Graham crumbs
1 tbsp. Vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Ideas of things to roll truffles in: Sweetened coconut, sprinkles, cocoa, white sugar, graham crumbs....

 
Steps:
1. Melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a small sauce pan on low. Meanwhile using an electric mixer, beatthe cream cheese until smooth. Add icing sugar, graham crumbs, vanilla and salt, and blend well. Mix in the melted chocolate and the remaining chocolate chips. Cool mixture in the freezer until firm (about 15 mins).
2. Hand-roll into balls the size of large marbles. Toss balls in coconut sprinkles, graham crumbs etc until well coated. Return to freezer and chill thoroughly (about 15 mins).
3. Enjoy or wrap up in a box to give away! (But keep in freezer until ready to give away!)

TIPS/SUGGESTIONS:
  • Don't roll your truffles in icing sugar unless you want it to come out and look like little donuts!
  • You may need to re-freeze the mixture half way through rolling them if the mixture begins to get too soft as this will make your hands really messy.....

Note: These truffles were made far too big. haha!!
