These rich and creamy truffles are made with white chocolate and cream cheese, dyed a stunning blue for a wintery theme. They’re easy to make and can be decorated with sprinkles or edible glitter for an extra festive touch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz (340 g) white chocolate chips (or chopped white chocolate)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Blue gel food coloring
  • 1/2 cup (100 g) blue or white sprinkles (for coating)

Optional decoration:

  • Edible glitter
  • Snowflake-shaped sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Melt the white chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Let it cool slightly but remain pourable.
  2. Prepare the truffle mixture:
    • In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth. Slowly mix in the melted white chocolate and vanilla extract. Add a few drops of blue gel food coloring and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
  3. Chill the mixture:
    • Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours, or until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls.
  4. Shape the truffles:
    • Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls with your hands. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Coat the truffles:
    • Roll each truffle in blue or white sprinkles, gently pressing to adhere. For extra sparkle, add edible glitter or snowflake-shaped sprinkles on top.
  6. Chill and serve:
    • Refrigerate the truffles for another 30 minutes to set before serving. Store in the refrigerator until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Flavor variations: Add a few drops of peppermint extract or almond extract for a festive twist.
  • Dipping option: Instead of rolling in sprinkles, dip the truffles in melted white chocolate and drizzle with blue-colored chocolate for a glossy finish.
  • Make ahead: These truffles can be made up to 5 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
