Common Questions

→ Is it possible to make these in advance?

Totally, just keep them in the fridge for up to 5 days. They’re awesome for making early for parties.

→ My truffles aren’t holding together. What’s wrong?

Give your mix enough time in the fridge—about 2-3 hours—so it stiffens up before shaping.

→ Can I swap the colors?

Go for it! Pick whatever food dye and sprinkles vibe with your celebration.

→ How do I keep my melted chocolate silky?

Zap it in the microwave a little at a time and stir after each burst so it doesn’t scorch.

→ Do these work frozen?

Yep! Pop them in a sealed container and freeze for up to 3 months. Defrost in the fridge.

What You’ll Need

01 items Optional extras:
02 items - Snowflake sprinkles.
03 items - Edible glitter.
04 items 1/2 cup (100g) blue or white sprinkles.
05 items Blue gel food tint.
06 items 1/2 tsp vanilla extract.
07 items 12 oz (340g) white chocolate chips.
08 items 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, nice and soft.

Steps To Make It

Step 01

Let the finished truffles hang out in the fridge for half an hour so they get nice and set.

Step 02

Finish things off with some glitter or cute snowflakes if you’ve got them.

Step 03

Pop those balls into your sprinkles and gently press so the sprinkles stay on.

Step 04

Scoop and shape the mix into little 1-inch balls. Place them on a tray lined with parchment.

Step 05

Put the bowl in the fridge and let it sit for 2-3 hours, so it firms up.

Step 06

Mix in that blue food color until your batch is an even shade everywhere.

Step 07

Whip the cream cheese until it’s really smooth, then stir in the melted chocolate and some vanilla.

Step 08

Put the white chocolate chips in a microwaveable bowl. Warm them up in 30-second rounds, stirring each time, until melted. Let this cool off a bit.

Extra Notes

  1. Try using peppermint or almond flavoring for a twist.
  2. Dipping them in extra white chocolate instead of coating with sprinkles works too.
  3. They stay fresh in the fridge for five days.
  4. Stash them in the freezer for up to three months if you want.
