Ingredients
Scale
- 10 Christmas Tree Snack Cakes
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 18 ounces white chocolate chips
- Red cookie icing (not gel)
- Green sanding sugar
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
- Crumble the Christmas Tree Cakes into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the cream cheese chunks to the bowl.
- Use a hand mixer to blend until a thick, dough-like mixture forms.
- Roll the mixture into balls using a 1½-inch cookie scoop.
- Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
- Freeze the truffles for about an hour to firm them up.
- Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted white chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place the dipped truffles back on the parchment paper.
- Sprinkle with green sanding sugar while the chocolate is wet.
- Use cookie icing to draw signature red zigzag lines on each truffle.
- Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for another hour to set.
- Remove any excess chocolate or icing from the edges before serving.
Notes
- Use cookie icing that hardens for perfect red stripes.
- Reheat melted white chocolate in 10-second intervals if it thickens.
- For easier dipping, insert a toothpick into the truffle, remove it before decorating.
- These truffles make excellent edible gifts.
- For a chocolate version, use Chocolate Christmas Tree Cakes and dip in milk or dark chocolate.
- Add peppermint extract to the filling and use crushed candy canes for peppermint truffles.
- Make mini bites by rolling smaller truffles for a dessert board.
