Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 4 oz cream cheese or coconut butter
- 2 tbsp butter, or additional coconut butter
- 3 tbsp powdered sugar or erythritol
- 1/2 tsp instant coffee
- 3 oz chocolate chips or broken up chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Bring the cream cheese and butter (or coconut butter) to room temperature so they become soft and easier to blend.
- Mix Ingredients: Combine the softened cream cheese or coconut butter, butter, powdered sugar or erythritol, and instant coffee until smooth. Using a hand mixer is recommended for the smoothest texture, although stirring with a fork is acceptable.
- Shape the Truffles: Spread the mixture into a container for bars or squares, or freeze for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop small balls using a mini cookie scoop. Place the balls onto a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze to Firm: Freeze the shaped truffles or bars until they become firm enough to handle.
- Optional Chocolate Coating: If desired, melt the chocolate chips and optionally stir in half a teaspoon of oil to achieve a smoother sauce. Dip the truffles or bars in the melted chocolate and allow to set. For bite-sized pieces, cut the bars in half once the chocolate has solidified.
- Store: Refrigerate or freeze leftovers to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use a hand mixer for the smoothest consistency.
- Substitute powdered sugar with erythritol for a lower-sugar version.
- Including melted chocolate is optional but adds a rich layer of flavor.
- Adding a small amount of oil to melted chocolate results in a smoother coating.
- Store truffles in the refrigerator for shorter-term or freezer for longer preservation.
