For the Crunchy Coating:
- 1 cup crushed graham crackers or vanilla wafers
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks
For Dipping (optional):
- 1 cup dark or milk chocolate, melted
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Filling
- Cream the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
- Add Sweetness: Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, and continue to mix until fully combined.
- Incorporate White Chocolate: Pour in melted white chocolate, blending until smooth and fluffy.
- Chill: Place the filling in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up, making it easier to shape.
Step 2: Shape the Truffles
- Scoop and Roll: Once the filling has chilled, use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop portions, rolling each into a 1-inch ball.
- Set and Chill Again: Arrange the truffle balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 15-20 minutes.
Step 3: Prepare the Crunchy Coating
- Mix the Coating Ingredients: In a small bowl, combine crushed graham crackers (or vanilla wafers), mini chocolate chips, and chocolate chunks.
- Coat the Truffles: Roll each truffle in the crunchy coating mixture, pressing lightly so that the coating adheres.
Step 4: Optional Chocolate Coating
- Dip for Extra Chocolate: For an added layer of decadence, dip each truffle in melted dark or milk chocolate.
- Set on Parchment: Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Step 5: Chill and Serve
- Final Chill: Refrigerate the coated truffles for at least 15 minutes to allow the coating to set.
- Enjoy: Once set, serve and savor these Chocolate Cheesecake Crunch Truffles!
