Chocolate Mint Truffles
No-bake mint cream cheese truffles studded with mini chocolate chips.
Ingredients
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | unsalted butter, room temperature |
| 1/2 cup | 120 ml | cream cheese, full fat |
| 1.5 tsp | 7.5 ml | mint extract |
| — | green food coloring (optional but highly recommended) | |
| 4.5 cups | 1.1 l | powdered sugar |
| 3/4 cup | 180 ml | mini chocolate chips |
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, add butter, cream cheese, mint extract, food coloring and mix until combined. Gradually, add powdered sugar (1 cup at a time) and continue mixing until smooth. Stir in chocolate chips. Chill for 1-2 hours or until mixture is easier to handle. Scoop out small portions of the mixture and form balls. Tip: It helps to wear disposable gloves to form smooth balls and prevents the mixture from sticking to your hands. Dip in melted chocolate, if you like. Enjoy! Recipe notes: Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
