No-Bake Truffles
We love these sweet chocolate gems because they are so deceptively easy to make!
Perfect to make ahead for occasions and holidays. Sub out any hard cookie to swap up the flavor. Dip in dark, milk or white chocolate. Decorate with sprinkles to match your occasion.
Ingredients and Variations
COOKIES Any hard cookie will work in this recipe. Milano cookies are a favorite because of the great flavor (and the chocolate of course). They come in a variety of flavors, so try mint or raspberry! CREAM CHEESE Cream cheese helps bind these cookie balls (and adds a bit of richness). A pinch of powdered sugar balances the tang. So easy.

Tips to Perfect This Recipe
Room temperature cream cheese is easier to blend in the food processor. Ensure the truffles are well chilled before dipping. Use a double boiler or melt chocolate on low in the microwave, be sure not to overheat it. These truffles are lightly sweet with a bit of tanginess from the cream cheese. The powdered sugar can be increased to ½ cup total for a sweeter flavor. Sprinkles can be changed to match the season or holiday but you could also leave them off or top with flaked sea salt. If you don’t have melting wafers, you can use 2 cups of chocolate chips with 1 teaspoon of coconut oil.
How to Store
Truffles are a perfect make-ahead treat! Freeze undecorated truffles in a zippered bag for up to a year. To decorate the tops, microwave the truffles just long enough to soften the tops so the decorations will stick. Keep prepared truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator on a layer of paper towels to absorb moisture and they’ll keep about a week.
