Notes
- For the smoothest texture, ensure your cream cheese is truly softened to room temperature before mixing. This prevents lumps.
- When melting chocolate, use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently, to avoid scorching. Burnt chocolate will seize and become unusable.
- If the truffle mixture is too sticky to roll, refrigerate it for an additional 30 minutes to firm up further. The firmer it is, the easier it is to handle.
- Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week, or freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. Nutrition information is an estimate, calculated automatically. Values vary with brands, substitutions and portion sizes.
