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
- Soften Ingredients: Bring the cream cheese or coconut butter and butter to room temperature if they are not already soft to ensure easy mixing.
- Mix Ingredients: Combine all ingredients, including powdered sugar and instant coffee, until smooth. Using a hand mixer provides the best smooth texture, though stirring with a fork will also work.
- Shape Mixture: Spread the mixture into a container to set, or freeze for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop into balls using a mini cookie scoop. Place onto a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze or Chill: Freeze the shaped truffles until firm. If set in a container, cut into bars or squares after firming.
- Optional Chocolate Dip: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and dip the truffles for a chocolate coating. For a smoother chocolate sauce, stir in half a teaspoon of oil after melting. Let the chocolate set.
- Serve and Store: Cut truffles in half after the chocolate sets for bite-sized treats as pictured. Refrigerate or freeze leftovers to maintain freshness.
Notes
- You can substitute coconut butter for cream cheese to make this dairy-free.
- Erythritol is a great sugar substitute for a low-sugar option.
- Using a hand mixer makes the texture smoother but mixing by hand works as well.
- Adding a little oil to melted chocolate makes it smoother and easier to dip.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze for up to one month.
- Cutting truffles in half after chocolate sets creates smaller, bite-sized treats.
