Ingredients
Scale
Base 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
Chocolate Coating (Optional)
- 3 oz chocolate chips or broken up chocolate
- 1/2 tsp oil (optional, for smoother melted chocolate)
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese or coconut butter and butter (or additional coconut butter) are brought to room temperature to make mixing easier and achieve a smooth texture.
- Mix Ingredients: Combine the softened cream cheese or coconut butter, butter, powdered sugar or erythritol, and instant coffee until smooth. Using a hand mixer gives the best results for a silky consistency, although mixing by hand with a fork is acceptable and still tastes delicious.
- Shape Truffles: Spread the mixture into a container or freeze briefly until firm enough to scoop. Use a mini cookie scoop to form balls and place them onto a parchment-lined plate. Freeze the shaped balls until they harden completely.
- Optional Chocolate Dipping: If desired, melt the chocolate chips with optional oil stirred in for a smoother sauce. Dip the truffles into the melted chocolate and let set. For the truffle bites shown in photos, cut the chocolate-coated truffles in half as soon as the chocolate solidifies.
- Storage: Refrigerate or freeze any leftover truffles to keep them fresh.
Notes
- Using a hand mixer ensures the smoothest truffle texture.
- Powdered erythritol is a great low-calorie sweetener alternative to powdered sugar.
- The optional chocolate coating can be customized with dark, milk, or white chocolate.
- Adding a small amount of oil to melted chocolate makes dipping easier and yields a shinier finish.
- Truffles can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one week or frozen for longer storage.
