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)
- Prepare ingredients: Bring the cream cheese (or coconut butter) and butter (or additional coconut butter) to room temperature until soft enough to mix comfortably.
- Mix ingredients: Combine the cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar (or erythritol), and instant coffee in a bowl. Use a hand mixer for the smoothest texture, or stir thoroughly with a fork until the mixture is smooth.
- Form truffles: Spread the mixture into a container or freeze for a few minutes until firm enough to scoop. Use a mini cookie scoop to place balls onto a parchment-lined plate.
- Freeze until firm: Freeze the balls until they are solid.
- Optional chocolate dip: Melt the chocolate chips, optionally stir in half a teaspoon of oil for a smoother sauce, and dip the truffles. Cut the truffles in half as soon as the chocolate sets for bite-sized pieces.
- Storage: Refrigerate or freeze any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use erythritol as a sugar substitute to reduce calories and sugar content.
- Bringing ingredients to room temperature ensures easier blending and smoother texture.
- Adding a small amount of oil to melted chocolate helps create a smoother coating but is optional.
- Store truffles in the freezer for longer shelf life or refrigerated if consuming sooner.
- Use parchment paper to prevent truffles from sticking during freezing.
