Main Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For Coating
- 1/2 cup blue sprinkles
- 1/4 cup crushed nuts (optional)
Instructions
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the mixture is completely smooth and free of lumps.
- Mix Ingredients: Add the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract into the melted white chocolate. Stir continuously until all ingredients are fully combined into a smooth mixture.
- Chill Mixture: Transfer the mixture to the refrigerator and chill for approximately 30 minutes, allowing it to firm up for easier handling.
- Form Truffles: Once the mixture is firm, scoop out small portions using a spoon or cookie scoop and roll them into uniform balls with your hands.
- Coat with Sprinkles: Roll each truffle ball in the blue sprinkles, ensuring an even coating. Optionally, you can also roll them in crushed nuts for added texture and flavor.
- Set Truffles: Place the coated truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and refrigerate again until they are completely set and firm, about 15-20 minutes.
- Serve: Enjoy these festive truffles chilled, perfect as a sweet holiday dessert or gift.
Notes
- Be careful not to overheat the white chocolate during melting, as it can seize and become grainy.
- The crushed nuts are optional; feel free to omit them for a nut-free version.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- For variation, try using colored sprinkles to match different holiday themes.
