Ingredients
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
In a medium saucepan, over medium-low heat, melt the heavy cream and butter together. Once melted, add the cream cheese, stirring until smooth. Add the chocolate chips, stirring until melted and smooth. Remove from the heat and let cool slightly.
In a shallow bowl, combine the cocoa powder, confectioners' sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a spoon, scoop out a tablespoon of the chocolate mixture and roll it into a ball. Drop the ball into the cocoa powder mixture and roll it around until it is completely coated. Place the truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Repeat the process with the remaining chocolate mixture. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the truffles are hardened. Serve the truffles at room temperature.
