Method

  1. In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese until it becomes smooth.

  2. Gradually add the confectioners' sugar to the cream cheese mixture and continue beating until it is well blended.

  3. Stir in the melted chocolate and vanilla until there are no streaks remaining.

  4. Refrigerate the mixture until it is just set, which should take around 15 to 30 minutes.

  5. Once the mixture has set, shape it into 1-inch balls.

  6. Optional: Roll the truffles in ground nuts, cocoa powder, coconut, confectioners' sugar, or candy sprinkles.

  7. If you want to flavor the truffles with liqueurs or other flavorings, omit the vanilla. Before refrigerating, divide the truffle mixture into thirds. Add 1 tablespoon of liqueur (such as almond, coffee, or orange) to each portion of the mixture, mixing well.

  8. Proceed with the recipe as usual.

  9. Please note that this recipe is a modified version of Easy Chai-Spiced Truffles from the Allrecipes Magazine, which included the addition of chai spice blend.
