Cookies and cream truffles arranged for Christmas gifting

A little box of homemade truffles is a particularly welcome Christmas gift. Beneath their pale white-chocolate coating, these sweets hide a rich center made from crushed chocolate cookies and cream cheese—a pleasing contrast in both color and texture.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 4 cups crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, cream filling removed
  • 2 cups white chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon shortening

Instructions

  1. Beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add the crushed chocolate cookies and mix until thoroughly combined.
  3. Cover and chill the mixture for about 2 hours.
  4. Roll into approximately 1-inch balls.
  5. Melt the white chocolate chips with the shortening until smooth, then dip the cookie balls to coat.
  6. Arrange on parchment and refrigerate until the coating is set. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve or give.

Yield: Approximately 5 dozen truffles.

Storage: Keep refrigerated.

Wrapped for Giving

Nestle the set truffles into small paper candy cups and arrange them in a decorative tin or gift box. Because the filling contains cream cheese, keep them refrigerated and let the recipient know to do the same.
