Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 10 Vanilla Little Debbie Christmas Tree Cakes
- 4 ounces (113 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 12 ounces (340 grams) almond bark or white chocolate candy melts
Decorative Ingredients:
- Red food coloring
- Green sanding sugar
Instructions
- Line a spacious baking sheet with parchment paper to create a staging area for the decorative truffles.
- Thoroughly disintegrate the Christmas tree cakes into fine crumbs within a generously sized mixing bowl, creating a foundational texture for the truffle mixture.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese into the cake crumbs, blending meticulously with a hand mixer until the ingredients transform into a cohesive, pliable dough.
- Utilize a small cookie scoop to craft uniform truffle spheres, gently rolling each portion between palms to achieve smooth, consistent shapes. Arrange the delicate orbs on the prepared parchment-lined sheet.
- Chill the truffle balls in the freezer for approximately 30 minutes, allowing them to firm and stabilize their structure.
- Melt white chocolate or almond bark in a microwave-safe vessel, stirring at regular intervals to ensure a silky, uniform consistency without scorching.
- Delicately immerse each chilled truffle into the molten white chocolate, using a fork to coat evenly and allow excess to drip away before returning to the parchment.
- Enhance the festive aesthetic by incorporating red food coloring into remaining melted chocolate, creating an elegant drizzle across the pristine white truffles.
- Immediately dust green sanding sugar over the decorated truffles, adding a vibrant, sparkling finish that captures the holiday spirit.
Notes
- Chill the cake balls thoroughly before dipping to prevent crumbling and ensure a smooth chocolate coating.
- Use room temperature cream cheese for easier mixing and a more consistent truffle texture.
- Microwave chocolate in short intervals to prevent burning and maintain a silky smooth melting process.
- Keep chocolate at a consistent warm temperature while dipping to achieve an even, glossy finish.
- Sprinkle decorative sugar immediately after drizzling colored chocolate to help it adhere properly.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to maintain freshness and flavor.
