Cheesecake Truffles

Cheesecake Truffles

Makes 23

These cheesecake truffles are a great gift to give. They are rich but can satisfy that sweet craving. They are very easy to make, you can make any flavors with these. I used coffee syrup and hazelnut syrup. If you want to use just vanilla extract then add 2 tablespoons of powder sugar. Now let's get started.

Ingredients

- 1 brick of cream cheese 227g (room temperature)

- 1 cup Graham cracker crumbs

- 1 tablespoon coffee syrup (optional)

- 1 tablespoon hazelnut syrup (optional)

- splash vanilla extract

- 2 tablespoons of powder sugar (if using only vanilla extract)

- 1/2 cup chocolate of choice

- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet or get some mini cupcake liners and set them aside. In a medium bowl, add cream cheese, graham crackers, and syrups. Then cream together using a hand mixer. The mixture should come together like cookie dough. Then chill overnight or for 2 hours. 

2. After they're chilled, roll a tablespoon amount of dough in your hands. They'll be a bit sticky when rolling them. The mixture should've made 23 truffles.

3. In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, add the half cup of chocolate and the tablespoon of coconut oil, let it melt completely. Then, add your truffles to the melted chocolate and coat them. Then transfer the coated truffles to your lined baking sheet or mini cupcake liners. After you're done coating them, let them chill for an hour before decorating them. You may have some melted chocolate leftover so, you can get some fruit and coat those too.

4. After they're chilled, either leave them as is or decorate them with a drizzle of chocolate as I did. I also kept some plain and drizzled chocolate on top as you see in the pictures.

 

These cheesecake truffles can keep in the fridge for a week.

Enjoy making these as I did eating them 😆
