2 ingredient chocolate truffles-CHGT

Prep: 15 minutes | Chill: 45–60 minutes | Yield: About 12–16 truffles

Ingredients

  • 6 oz chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet), divided
  • 3 oz cream cheese, softened

Instructions

  1. Melt 3 oz of the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals and stirring between each interval until smooth.
  2. While chocolate melts, stir cream cheese in a bowl to soften.
  3. Mix melted chocolate into the cream cheese until fully combined.
  4. Place mixture in the freezer for about 30 minutes, until it reaches a soft, clay-like texture.
  5. Roll mixture into balls and place on a lined baking sheet.
  6. Freeze truffle balls until firm.
  7. Melt the remaining 3 oz chocolate.
  8. Dip truffle balls into melted chocolate, coating completely.
  9. Return to freezer until chocolate is set.

Kid-Friendly Tips

  • Kids can stir the cream cheese and roll the truffles
  • Adults should handle microwave melting
  • Use a small scoop for even-sized balls
  • Let kids decorate with sprinkles before chocolate sets

Variation Ideas

  • Roll centers in cocoa powder instead of dipping
  • Use white chocolate for coating
  • Add a drop of vanilla or peppermint extract

Notes

If the mixture becomes too soft while rolling, return it to the freezer for a few minutes. Store truffles refrigerated until serving.
