Description

A stress-free recipe for delectable cheesecake truffles. These are sure to impress!! And they are easy enough that the kids can help!

Ingredients

  • 2 containers Cream Cheese (8 Ounce Or 250 Gram Packages)
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract/Amaretto/Rum
  • 4 whole Eggs
  • ¼ teaspoons Salt
  • ⅔ cups Cream (Normal Or Whipped)
  • 16 ounces, weight Semi-sweet Chocolate
  • Optional Garnishes: Rainbow Sprinkles, Sugar Crystals, Sugar Confetti, Etc

Preparation

Note: I use Amaretto di Saronno in place of vanilla extract because vanilla is not available where I am and I find that it is a quite adequate substitute (along with any other type of sweet liquor).

Let cream cheese soften before mixing ingredients. Also, freeze the cheesecake balls before dipping in chocolate.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees (F).

With a whisk or a spoon, blend the cream cheese, sugar, vanilla, eggs, salt and cream together.

Pour batter into an 8″x12″ baking pan (or your favorite baking pan) and place in oven.

Bake for 40 minutes.

When finished baking, remove from oven and allow the cheesecake to cool. With a melon scooper or spoon, scoop out a spoonful of the batter (around a tablespoon’s worth) and roll into balls. The batter will be a bit wet. Place balls in freezer for a minimum of 15 minutes (or overnight if you wish).

Melt chocolate in the microwave or a double boiler and dip the frozen cheesecake balls in it until covered. Before removing from the chocolate bowl, use a fork tap off all excess chocolate and place cheesecake truffles on parchment paper or a greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle immediately with sprinkles/sugar confetti/sugar crystals, etc while the chocolate is still ‘wet’ so that they stick.

Serve or place in freezer til serving time!

I saved this recipe, but I need to know if you have updated the quantities to make 10 servings? This looks wonderful and very easy; have you tried this with other liquor? I’m curious about using lemoncello or framboise to flavor the truffles, or maybe Nassau Royale, which is vanilla flavored. Think it would work?

Oh my goodness… I realize that I wrote the wrong measurements for that outcome!! I apologize!! I made less cheesecake since it was just me eating it!!

10 servings would be about 6 or 7 pieces per person. ; )

Hey, I did that yesterday but the cheesecake ended up to be super small. How many truffles you end with? If it’s around 10 little ones, might not be reasonable to serve 10 people. I talk by myself: I can’t have just one LOL ;)
