Eggnog Truffles
Rich and creamy eggnog truffles - easy to make and perfect for holiday parties!
Servings: 18 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ½ cup white chocolate chips divided
- 4 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/3 cup eggnog
- ⅓ cup powdered sugar
- ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon rum flavoring (found with the extracts, optional)
- additional white chocolate and edible glitter for decorating (optional)
Instructions
- Melt 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips. Add cream cheese, eggnog, powdered sugar, nutmeg, rum flavoring and mix until smooth. Cover tightly and chill for 2-3 hours or until firm.
- Shape mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Melt remaining chocolate chips.
- Stick a toothpick or fork into one of the balls, dip into the melted chocolate (you can use a spoon to help get the chocolate completely coated), tap off excess chocolate, and place back on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining balls.
- Chill for 30 minutes. Serve immediately or store chilled in an airtight container up to 1 week.
Notes
For decorating, allow dipped truffles to chill at least 15 minutes, then drizzle extra chocolate across the truffles in any design you wish. Sprinkle with edible glitter/colored sugar if desired. Return to fridge for at least 15 minutes longer or until chocolate is set.
