What Makes This Recipe So Good
These truffles are rich and creamy without using any dairy. They are perfect for anyone looking for a plant-based treat that still feels indulgent. Plus, they come together quickly with simple ingredients.
Directions
Beat the cream cheese until it’s nice and smooth. Slowly add the powdered sugar, mixing as you go, until everything is well combined. Next, stir in the melted chocolate and a splash of vanilla extract. Pop the mixture into the fridge and let it chill for about an hour so it firms up. Once it’s set, scoop out small spoonfuls and roll them into bite-sized balls. Then, roll each one in cocoa powder, shredded coconut, or chopped almonds—whatever you prefer. Keep them stored in the fridge until you’re ready to enjoy.
