Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese or coconut butter
- 2 tbsp butter, or additional coconut butter
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee
- 3 oz chocolate chips or broken up chocolate, optional
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Bring the cream cheese (or coconut butter) and butter (or additional coconut butter) to room temperature if they are not already soft to ensure easy mixing.
- Mix Ingredients: Combine the softened cream cheese or coconut butter, butter, powdered sugar or erythritol, and instant coffee until the mixture is smooth. Using a hand mixer provides the smoothest texture, but stirring with a fork works as well.
- Form Truffles: Spread the mixture into a container or freeze it briefly until firm enough to use a mini cookie scoop to form balls. Place the formed balls onto a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze to Set: Freeze the truffle balls until firm to help maintain their shape when handled.
- Optional Chocolate Dip: If desired, dip the firm truffles into melted chocolate. For a smoother sauce, stir half a teaspoon of oil into the melted chocolate. Let the chocolate set before cutting bites in half for serving.
- Store: Refrigerate or freeze leftovers to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese with coconut butter to make these dairy-free and suitable for vegans.
- Use powdered erythritol as a sugar alternative for a low-sugar or diabetic-friendly version.
- For easier handling, chill the mixture before forming the truffles.
- Adding a small amount of oil to melted chocolate makes a smoother coating but is optional.
- Store truffles refrigerated if consuming within a week, or freeze for longer preservation.
