Ingredients:
1/3 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or rum or almond)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
4 ounces light cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or rum or almond)
1/3 cup cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
Directions:
| 1 | Melt chocolate chips in a microwavable glass bowl for 1 minute until just melted. Stir with a spatula until smooth. |
| 2 | Using an electric mixer, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add melted chocolate and vanilla; mix until smooth and creamy. |
| 3 | Add cocoa powder and mix until blended. The mixture will be crumbly at first but will come together as a dough. |
| 4 | Gradually add sugar and beat until the dough is soft and creamy. |
| 5 | Roll dough into 1-inch balls. Dip and roll balls into shallow bowls of either sifted confectioner's sugar or sifted cocoa powder. |
| 6 | Place truffles on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Chill for at least an hour. |
| 7 | ENJOY! |
