Description
These decadent Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Truffles combine creamy cheesecake with cherry sweetness and rich chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dried cherries, chopped (or fresh if preferred)
- 1/4 cup crushed graham crackers (optional for added texture)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
Instructions
- To start, grab a medium-sized mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon, blend these ingredients together until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.
- Once your cheesecake base is ready, gently fold in the chopped dried cherries and crushed graham crackers.
- Use a small cookie scoop or simply a spoon to portion out about one tablespoon of the cheesecake mixture. Roll each portion into a ball using your hands, then place them on the parchment-lined tray.
- While the truffles are freezing, in a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring each time to ensure even melting.
- After the truffles have hardened, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating.
- For an extra touch of flair, consider drizzling melted white chocolate over the top of the truffles.
