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
- Bring Ingredients to Room Temperature: Ensure the cream cheese or coconut butter and butter (or coconut butter) are soft by bringing them to room temperature. This helps achieve a smooth mixture.
- Mix Ingredients Until Smooth: Combine the softened cream cheese or coconut butter, butter, powdered sugar or erythritol, and instant coffee in a bowl. Use a hand mixer for the best smooth consistency, though you can stir with a fork if needed.
- Shape the Truffles: Spread the mixture into a container or chill it in the freezer for a few minutes until it firms up enough to scoop. Use a mini cookie scoop to place small balls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze the Balls: Freeze the formed balls until they become firm, allowing them to set properly.
- Optional Chocolate Dip: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and optionally stir in half a teaspoon of oil for a smoother texture. Dip the chilled truffles into the melted chocolate, then place on parchment to set. For a cleaner look like in photos, cut the truffles in half once the chocolate coating sets.
- Storage: Refrigerate or freeze leftover truffles to maintain freshness and texture.
Notes
- You can substitute cream cheese with coconut butter to make the truffles dairy-free and vegan.
- Using powdered erythritol instead of sugar makes this recipe suitable for low-sugar and diabetic-friendly diets.
- Dipping in chocolate is optional but adds an extra rich layer of flavor and texture.
- Adding a small amount of oil to the melted chocolate helps create a smoother coating.
- Store truffles in the freezer for firmer texture or refrigerator for easier immediate serving.
